Bug ID: 51539
Summary: Mediawiki no longer accepts unicode object property
name without quotes
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ResourceLoader
Assignee: [email protected]

This [1] revision of the gadget Twinkle on hi-wp gave the browser exception:
Exception thrown by ext.gadget.Twinkle: JavaScript parse error: Parse error:
Illegal token in file 'MediaWiki:Gadget-Twinkle.js' on line 3757
In the next revision [2] of Twinkle, the problem was not there. The only change
made to resolve this were that object property names starting with devanagari
characters were put into quotes. E.g.:
शीह: "विशिष्ट कारण ({{शीह}})",
was changed to
"शीह": "विशिष्ट कारण ({{शीह}})",
Although this has gotten twinkle up and running, I don't see why RL generated
the exception in the first place. Devanagari characters are already specified
in Unicode 3.0 and hence are good for starting property names as per
ECMA-262(if I read the standard correctly).
Further details may be found in [3].
