Summary: Unwanted Arabic > Roman transliteration prevents page
creation
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
URL: http://ku.wikipedia.org/wiki/مارکس
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Redirects
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
In the Kurdish Wikipedia (http://ku.wikipedia.org) with its two scripts
(Roman/Arabic) there is an unexpected behaviour concerning non-existing
pagenames in Arabic script.
If someone looks for an Arabic script page that does not exist (for instance
مارکس ) there will be an automatic redirection to the ROman script page
with the same name (in this case: Marks).
The same thing happens in the article search, where the search for the Arabic
script page name returns the Roman script pagename. This does NOT happen when
doing a fulltext search.
This behaviour makes it impossible to start an Arabic script page by typing the
desired name into the browser's address line or the article search box if a
Roman script page with the same name exists already.
