             Bug #: 35293
           Summary: apostrophe in url
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: History/Diffs
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


An apostrophe (single quote) in url can be either a single letter ' or three
letters %27. They should be equivalent, but the following two urls point to two
different versions of the same page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nig%27s_theorem_(graph_theory)#Proof

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6nig's_theorem_(graph_theory)#Proof

The first url points (correctly) to the most updated version. The second url
points (incorrectly) to an older version. Open two windows and compare, in
particular, the section "Proof".

Google "Konig's theorem", and you will see the first hit gives the url with a
single letter ' for the apostrophe. If you follow the second google hit instead
and choose "(graph theory)" from the Wikipedia disambiguation page, you will
get the url with the three letters %27 for the apostrophe.
