Bug ID: 51326
Summary: Invisible symbols in Wikidata API
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: API
Assignee: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: ga...@inbox.ru

A behavior of Wikibase extension API differs from the general Mediawiki API
when it works with invisible symbols like \u200d. The general Mediawiki API
removes invisible symbols from titles in the query and returns results for
titles without such symbols. For example, see [1].
The Wikibase extension API doesn't remove these symbols and it returns
different result for queries with and without such symbols. For example, see
[2] and [3].
I'm sure that it would be useful to have one policy for general API and its
extension about these symbols.
