Summary: protocol capitalization
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Page rendering
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: djbeets...@hotmail.com
At the moment, '[http://www.example.com]' is recognised as an external link by
the wikimedia software, while '[HTTP://www.example.com]' is not, while my
browser recognises both (even '[HtTp://www.example.com]'). I think that the
protocol-recognition should be caseINsensitive.
Note: I noticed this, since the linkwatcher (LiWa3, see e.g freenode
#wikipedia-en-spam) that I am operating does recognise uppercase HTTP as a
protocol, and found an edit (http://en.wikipedia.org/?diff=417579535) where a
blacklisted url (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam-blacklist) was added
to a page (but it is not a 'clickable link'). In fact, changing the
capitalisation to lowercase disallows the edit. Therefore, this should be
propagated into the blacklist code as well, if necessary.
