--- Comment #9 from Lee G <[email protected]> 2009-11-25 13:48:19 UTC --- Thank you for providing the link to the ticket. Do you not think the use of Squid is separate from MediaWiki? Should not both implement the same standards for URIs/URLs? Ideally, the URI should be treated the same whether encoded or not, by all software. The term "canonical", in terms of URLs/URIs in general is reasonably-well defined on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_normalization In terms of MediaWiki end-users, I think the term is used to refer to the ultimate resource for a term. If page A instantly redirects to page B, because an editorial decision has been made that term A is a synonyms for term B, then page A will contain a Javascript variable with the canonical term. In both cases, URI-encoding is dropped prior to the creation of the canonical ID. I am sorry I do not have an example to hand.
