Hi, I have a question about the functionality of the API on zh.wikipedia.org :
It appears that the API isn't performing redirects that involve conversion of certain simplified Chinese page titles to traditional, but these redirects _are_ supported by the wiki's frontend. For example: When I enter http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/龙门飞甲 into my browser, this redirects automatically to http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/���T�w甲. But when I do the equivalent query through the api with redirects enabled ( http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&titles=龙门飞甲&redirects), I get no results. Other simplified to traditional redirects do work in both the frontend and the API. For example both http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/中国and http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/中�� lead to the same page. I do notice that here, unlike in my previous example, the request for the simplified title shows on the page that the results are a redirect (（重定向自中国<http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD&redirect=no> ）), so something different must be going on. Does anyone know what's going on here, or is there another Chinese language forum I should address this question to? Many thanks, Joel
