Bug ID: 47474
Summary: Existing lowercase titles create troubles
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: liang...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
In the past, MediaWiki recognizes [[Ɑ]] and [[ɑ]] two different titles, but
now, [[Ɑ]] is recognized as the uppercase form of [[ɑ]], creating troubles
below. This may also happen to wikis flipping $wgCapitalLinks after they've
been used for a while.
Original status:
[[Ɑ]] is a redirect to [[ɑ]]; [[ɑ]] has contents.
When [[Ɑ]] becomes the uppercase form:
[[ɑ]] is never accessible directly, but accessible as a redirect target of
[[Ɑ]].
After I edit [[Ɑ]]:
[[ɑ]] becomes inaccessible, even if I change [[Ɑ]] back to the string
"#REDIRECT [[ɑ]]" (in this case [[Ɑ]] becomes a self-redirect).
To finally resolve the issue:
Use api.php?action=move to move [[ɑ]] (identified by its page id) to some
"ucfirst"ed title.
