--- Comment #10 from Huji <huji.h...@gmail.com> 2011-09-18 17:07:22 UTC ---
The last comment by Reza is in the opposite direction: it requests the search
feature to be modified to replace the correct letter (used in the correct
namespaces) with the wrong (but more frequently available on Arabic-friendly
mobile devices) letter.

As for what you suggest, I'm still a little skeptic, because it promotes the
use of incorrect (i.e. non-standard) letters in the Wiki. Right now, if you
type [[كاربر:Huji]] (which starts with non-standard‌ ك character), you get a
redlink, and then you will learn to use the standard letter. If those aliases
are added, the link will become a blue link, and the rate of compliance to the
standards of Persian characters will decrease.

This is why, in my belief, the solution to a mobile-only problem should only
affect mobile users. I think it is Wikimedia Mobile extension that has to be
modified, not the MediaWiki itself.
