            Bug ID: 48281
           Summary: md5 title munging does not completely rename some
                    pages
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: REL1_19 branch
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: DumpHTML
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

When generating a static dump of an internal wiki, the MD5 hashing of a name
stops at the first period it comes across.

In the default titling scheme, there is a page named similar to:
./articles/b/a/n/Category:sitename.com_(Public Website).html

and when the dump was done with md5 hashes instead, the page was named:
./articles/5/e/2/fa70d4c0ce3cbbb6d8c7b7608a699.com_(Public_Website).html

a quick scan down the file list appears to show that the pages for uploaded
files also stop the hash at the period before the file extension, giving hashes
like 79963e2b7efd9ab7e80d340402b92.PNG.html for screenshot.PNG.HTML

Not sure if this is intended behavior, but it has the possibility of leaving
undesired characters one would otherwise expect to be incorporated into the
hashed filename.
