--- Comment #5 from Tisza Gergő <gti...@wikimedia.org> --- (In reply to comment #4) > 2) Mediawiki accepts two-byte codes: linked via > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index. > php?title=Liste_der_denkmalgesch%FCtzten_Objekte_in_Aigen_im_Ennstal&redirect > =no&#objektid-35863, > so the problem seems to be at the UploadWizzard Try the same link on the Greek Wikipedia: https://el.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Liste_der_denkmalgesch%FCtzten_Objekte_in_Aigen_im_Ennstal&redirect=no&#objektid-35863 There is no way to reliably identify what character %FC stands for. ISO-8859 encodings only allow for 256 characters, therefore each region has its own character set and the same byte means a different character in different regions. Single-language wikis can be matched to encodings but multilanguage wikis like Commons cannot. More importantly, if your application uses ISO-8859-1 then it will make a mess of any character that is not in that character set. (What if there is a monument in Austria which has a č in its name? That is encoded in ISO-8859-x as %E8, which happens to be è in ISO-8859-1.) So this is a bug in the monument list tool regardless of whether UploadWizard understands the links; and if that bug is fixed, there will be no problem with UploadWizard either. As it is now, I think it is better to error out on ambiguous input than to choose one possible interpretation by random and possibly do something else than the uploader intended. > 3) I don't think I have any possibility to change the encoding. The current > code to create the link is: > > {{fullurl:commons:special:uploadWizard|campaign=wlm- > at&id={{{ObjektID|}}}&descriptionlang=de&description={{urlencode: > {{{Name}}}}}{{#if:{{{Commonscat|}}}|&categories={{urlencode: > {{{Commonscat|}}}}}}}}} That code works fine, it generates UTF-8 links, and UploadWizard works for me when I click them. The problem is only with the application at the toolserver. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
