Summary: Using the move page UI you can create a page name
containing +, not %2B
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.13.5
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: t.j.h...@open.ac.uk
and after you have done that, you have a mess on your hands.
==First for reference==
1. Edit any page on your wiki.
2. Type [[Test + page]] to create a link to a non-existent page.
3. Click that link, and note that the URL contains Test_%2B_bug
==Steps to reproduce==
1. Log in as someone with permission to move pages.
2. Go to any page on the wiki.
3. Click the move tab.
4. Type 'Test + page' in the to new title box.
===Expected outcome===
Either the page is moved to the new title Test_%2B_bug, or an error message
telling you not to do that
===Actual outcome===
The page gets moved to a URL containing a literal +, which is a bad thing. For
example, any links pointing to the new page do not work. You cannot edit the
new page.
The only way out I could find was to revert the move from the Move log.
By the way, I encountered this on http://docs.moodle.org/en/.
+ is a very bad thing to have to search for in a bug summary, so I may well
have failed to find any existing bug report about this, in which case please
accept my apologies.
