Summary: Auto-converting from " "(half-width space) to "
"(full-width space) causes many problem.
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
MediaWiki (of the latest version?) automatically convert " "(half-width space)
to " "(full-width space) in the input box (including search) and direct URL
input and so on.
e.g. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%E3%80%80Sharp =>
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp
This is useful sometimes, but also causes many bugs.
Case 1 "section link in edit summary": (not so critcal)
When there's followng two section:
== foo bar ==
This is half-width section.
== foo bar ==
This is full-width section.
and input /* foo bar */ (for full-width section) in edit summary, the link in
the summary was auto-converted so it misunderstands that the link target is
section "foo bar"(half-width).
Case 2 "user's name": (critical)
If the useaname contains " "(full-width space), his/her name is also converted
automatically in many case. So user contributions page
([[Special:Contributions]]) or other page doesn't work well in this case.
For example, [[User:大野 一��...@jawiki uses full-width space as the separator
between his first and last (you can make sure in his userpage's history [1]).
But now his name is auto-converted to [[User:大野 一将]](the separator is
half-width), therefore his contributuins can't view ;
[[Special:Contributions/大野 一将]] (full-width) [2] is converted to
[[Special:Contributions/大野 一将]] (half-width) [3].
Maybe because of the same reason, in his userpage [4] the link to his
contributuion in toolbox doesn't show.
And more cases are reported on jawiki's bug report page
[[:w:ja:Wikipedia:バグの報告]][5].
I thinks the auto-converting should be disabled while this bug still exists, at
least in Japanese.
thanks.
