Bug ID: 45748
Summary: TemplateSandbox should be forgiving about
first-character-lowercase, just like "real" pages
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: TemplateSandbox
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
if "Template:Foo" exists, {{foo}} will transclude it (unlike {{FOO}} ).
Note that the user might have tried to create [[Template:foo]] in the first
place, and the system did her a favor and created [[Template:Foo]] instead.
to compensate for this unsolicited substitution, the system is nice enough to
recognize {{foo}}.
However, when the user creates [[User:JaneDoe/sandbox/Template:foo]], the
system will not replace it with [[User:JaneDoe/sandbox/Template:Foo]], and in
the sandbox, {{foo}} will look for [[Template:Foo]] (in template namespace) but
will ignore [[User:JaneDoe/sandbox/Template:foo]].
Same exact thing for [[User:JaneDoe/sandbox/Model:bar]]
IMO, the sandbox should imitate the behavior of the system as much as possible.
In this case, i think that when i use {{foo}} (or {{Foo}} ) in the sandbox, the
system should look for any of <sandboxprefix>/template:foo,
<sandboxprefix>/template:Foo, <sandboxprefix>/Template:foo or
<sandboxprefix>/Template:Foo.
no need to look for <sandboxprefix>/tEmplAte:fOo, of course.
same exact thing should be for (m|M)odel/(b|B)ar, and any other namespace the
Sandbox might substitute.
peace.
