Bug ID: 52010
Summary: Special:Prefixindex doesn't allow looking up prefixes
that are invalid titles (like '.')
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.22-git
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized

Split from bug 51308 comment 2.
Special:prefixindex doesn't allow searching for titles by a prefix that is an
invalid title (but still a valid prefix). The primary problem area involves
"relative directory" syntax. For example (not including quotes):
* '.'
* '..'
* 'Anything ending with/.'
* 'Anything ending with/..'
However all 4 of these can be valid prefixes of a title.
See SpecialAllpages::getNamespaceKeyAndText and Title::secureAndSplit. I guess
we shouldn't assume the prefix forms an actually valid title.
