Bug ID: 47114
Summary: Autocomplete during data entry should do a
diacritic-insensitive search
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataClient
Assignee: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
Reporter: dansbugreporte...@gmail.com
CC: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Many of the wikidata entries have diacritics in their name. Autocomplete during
data entry requires the name be spelt with the diacritics to show up.
For instance, if you typed "San Nicolas", you would get several entries for the
city in the Philippines. However, if you typed "San Nicolás", then you would
get the city in Mexico. The Mexican city would not show up by typing "San
Nicolas".
In common usage (especially in English), the diacritic may or may not be used,
so it can sometime be difficult to match the correct target.
In this case, it seems like typing "San Nicolas" should show both the
Philippines cities and the Mexican city (i.e. "San Nicolas" would match either
"San Nicolas" or "San Nicolás").
