The same page appears at

. Both wikis use the same rewrite rules (listed at the end of this mail)..
If you click from wiki-dot on "post-secondary education", you follow a link
to
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Special:SearchByProperty/Tag/post-secondary_education
. Going there, one is surprised to see 'A list of all pages that have
property “Tag” with value “post%secondary education', which needless to say
is an empty list. (The same can be seen on the learn-dot link.)
The behavior is different (but also wrong) with the wiki running newer
software. The link goes to
http://learn.creativecommons.org/community/Special:SearchByProperty/Tag/post-secondary%2Beducation
(%2B is +). MediaWiki redirects me to
http://learn.creativecommons.org/community/Special:SearchByProperty/Tag/post-secondary_education
, and I am told the query was "post%secondary_education" in the resulting
rendered page. Again, there are no results.
I can reproduce this percent encoding bug on the SMW sandbox by simply
going to
http://sandbox.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:SearchByProperty/Your-Mom/Wears-Polyester
.
Instead of your hyphen mom, we see your percent mom. Links like this can
be generated by wiki markup like this:
[[Special:SearchByProperty/Your-Mom/Wears Polyester]]
which I have put on my user page
<http://sandbox.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Paulproteus>. Am I using
Special:SearchByProperty wrong, or is this a bug?
(From the SMW-user list discussion where I began this thread, I believe it
is a bug, and that the behavior has changed across releases. I wrote
other attempts at encoding this query on my user page which result (as
they should) in red links to error pages.)
Of note,
http://sandbox.semantic-mediawiki.org/index.php?title=Special:SearchByProperty/Your-Mom/Wears_Polyester
gives the same problem; in principle, this is not really a mod_rewrite
issue.
