Bug ID: 46742
Summary: SUBJECTSPACE converts spaces to underscores when no
page name is given

As seen at [[vi:Thành viên:Mxn/Từ thần chú không gian tên]], the
{{SUBJECTSPACE}} magic word converts spaces to underscores unless a page name
is explicitly specified using the {{SUBJECTSPACE:…}} syntax.
This behavior causes problems primarily on Vietnamese-language wikis, in which
nearly all namespace names are compound words. For example, templates imported
from the English Wikipedia often contain subtle bugs because {{SUBJECTSPACE}}
is compared to the output of {{NS:…}}. The workaround is to always specify the
page name explicitly, i.e. {{SUBJECTSPACE:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}, but it is quite
inconvenient to have to continually add this workaround to templates copied
from other wikis.
Moreover, the English Wikipedia’s “Education Program” namespace and English
Wiktionary’s “Sign gloss” namespace are also affected, as would any project
namespace named with a compound word.
