Bug ID: 44676
Summary: {{DEFAULTSORT}} magic word occasionally fails
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Categories
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
This behavior is observable on the English Wikipedia. For example,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_King uses the magic word, as:
{{DEFAULTSORT:King, Brian}} - it works inconsistently: in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_educated_at_Sydney_Boys_High_School
he is sorted under K. However, for some categories, e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_with_invalid_ISBNs he is sorted
under B. The category contains numerous examples of correctly interpreted
{{DEFAULTSORT}}s (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodie_Bellamy ) and
incorrectly interpreted ones (all the Michaels here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Articles_with_invalid_ISBNs&pagefrom=Mi
).
