Bug ID: 45131
Summary: wbgetentities should apply basic normalization to
titles in parameters.
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
The titles given in the "titles=" parameters of the wbgetclaims module are
expecting spaces, not underscores, while elsewhere, we always use underscores
in the canonical title form.
Basic normalization should be performed on the titles used to select items:
strip leading/trailing whitespace, apply unicode normalization, replace " "
with "_" (or vice versa, as needed).
More advances normalization, especially involving namespaces, is not possible
without calling the target wiki's API, which is too slow for this purpose.
Converting the first character to upper case is a borderline case: it could be
done, but we can't be sure that it's appropriate.
