[Wikitech-l] Internal links and diacritics
Hi, I'm trying to format a link like this: [[musulman]]ă. On ro.wp, this is equivalent to [[musulman|musulman]]ă (the special letter is not included in the wiki link. While going through http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Markup_spec I saw that: internal-link ::= internal-link-start article-link [ # section-id ] [ pipe [link-description] ] internal-link-end [extra-description] extra-description ::= letter [extra-description] letter::= ucase-letter | lcase-letter ucase-letter ::= A | B | ... | Y | Z lcase-letter ::= a | b | ... | y | z This tells me that only ASCII letters are used for this type of linking. However, on fr.wp I can write [[Ren]]é and this is equivalent to [[Ren|René]]. How was this made? Is it something that can be set by from a page or should some php be changed?

You have to use the MediaWiki:Linktrail page, for example: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Linktrail (or see the same page on fr.wiki). D. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

AFAIK, it has to be set in the language file thru $linkTrail variable, because it looks like that MediaWiki:Linktrail is no longer used.

It's wrong. Don't trust that page too much. It was written after the fact to try to document the parser, not something the parser was designed to follow. It's almost certainly wrong in a lot of corner cases. (Like non-English languages, apparently.)

The set of characters allowed in the so-called linktrail depends on the language used, and is set in the individual LanguageXx.php files.
