Bug #: 35404
Summary: Leading space within [[ http://...]] gives redlink and
avoids blacklist
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
When an external link http:// is used within a [[wikilink]] AND has a leading
space such as [[ http://www.anu.edu.au]] the link is created as an internal
redlink to itself. Such a "link" also avoids the blacklist.
It would seem worthwhile to 'chomp' any leading spaces inside a [[wikilink]],
especially where the character after the space is a url.
