Bug ID: 62988
Summary: Special:WhatLinksHere should canonicalize namespace
aliases given in URL
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Special pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Web browser: ---
Mobile Platform: ---
The namespace parameter for Special:WhatLinksHere only accepts a numeric index:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Example&namespace=4
It should also accept a namespace alias. At present a non-numeric value is
ignored:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Example&namespace=Wikipedia
This would facilitate the development of utility templates.
