Summary: [[[Special:PrefixIndex]] ignores trailing spaces (or
underscores)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.14-svn
Platform: All
URL: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?prefix=A_&title=Sp
ecial:PrefixIndex
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Special pages
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Of course, URLs like http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/A_ are
quickly “normalized” to
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/A by server, although
formally (and intuitively) it should mean names starting not just from the
letter “A”, but only from the word “A” followed by space.
But the bug lies not in URL normalization.
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:PrefixIndex&prefix=A_ gives
the same output. Even if prefix= is passed not as last argument (so _ is not a
last character in the query string), then trailing space in it is silently
discarded.
