Bug ID: 62909
Summary: GWtoolset strips certain characters from file names
that it shouldn't (like parenthesis, apostraphes, &)
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: GWToolset

GWToolset is uploading a lot of file names like
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:The_King_of_Hungary_holding_council_in_his_tent_on_the_battlefield_-_Froissart--39-s_Chronicles_-Volume_IV-_part_2-_-1470-1475--_f.84_-_BL_Harley_MS_4380.jpg&redirect=no
. The proper name is [[commons:File:The King of Hungary holding council in his
tent on the battlefield - Froissart's Chronicles (Volume IV, part 2)
(1470-1475), f.84 - BL Harley MS 4380.jpg]] (and it has since been renamed to
that)
Notice how things like ), (, ', & are being stripped and replaced with '-'.
This is wrong, those characters are perfectly valid in a title.
Even worse, characters like apostraphe (') are being converted to their html
entity "'", with &, # and ; being replaced with dashes, resulting in
"--39-". This is wrong, as html entities in titles should be converted to the
character they represent, and that character should be dealt with as
appropriate (As is done in normal titles)
