--- Comment #7 from Daniel Kinzler <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #4) > Yes we can turn off normalization, no it is not a good > idea because the user most often will have no idea why a lookup fails. Normalizing always is nice, but may be a performance problem. If it is a problem, we can turn it off. Keep in mind that ItemByTitle really isn't supposed to be used by people directly. We could even mark it as unlisted - maybe we should. Special:ItemByTitle is merely the backend to our title-based addressing scheme. That scheme says that people should be able to just take a Wikipedia URL, replace "wikipedia" by "wikidata", and the link should work. Since the Title in the URL will be in normalized form, this will work fine without normalization (except for redirects). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
