Bug ID: 66748
Summary: Suggester changes input if an alias matches
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: Unprioritized

This is an issue in the new ("ooMenu" based) suggester.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to a random item.
2. Add a statement.
3. Type "state" (as in "stated in"). Wait. Be surprised.
What happens:
The suggester automatically selects "is in the administrative-territorial
entity". Because this does have an alias "state". Unfortunately I can't tell if
it was like that with the old suggester.
Expected:
Don't change what the user entered.
Don't blame me, Lydia found this. )-;
Please note that this behavior is case-sensitive (which it should not in my
opinion, see bug 66715).
This issue is probably heavily connected to bug 66715 (exact match not
recognized if casing is different) and bug 66437 (auto-completion missing) but
should be tracked as a separate issue in my opinion.
