Bug #: 39456
Summary: Searchmenu-* messages are given $1 HTML-encoded,
unable to urlencode it
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Search
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
“searchmenu-*” messages (e.g. searchmenu-exists) are given the searched title
in $1, so that they display something like “There is a page named "[[:$1]]" on
this wiki.” However SpecialSearch::showCreateLink() escapes the search query
using wfEscapeWikiText.
This means e.g. quotes are escaped as HTML entities when received in
searchmenu-new, and you are unable to use the original query in links (e.g. to
search in other namespaces) in the message, like
“[{{fullurl:Special:Search|search={{urlencode:$1}}&ns14=1&fulltext=Search&advanced=1}}
Search categories]” since the urlencode leads to the HTML-encoded quote in the
URL (and OTOH, omitting the urlencode would break queries containing e.g. an
ampersand).
See
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Searchmenu-new#Quotes_get_destroyed
Maybe we could have an alternate parameter $2 containing the original unencoded
query?
