re: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=012477#c1 bug 012477 add UTF-8 and RTL inter project links to test.wikipedia.org (In reply to comment #1) > Interwiki prefixes are latin/ASCII. Dear friends, I opened this enhancement request as a request for « Product: Mediawiki » with « Component: Internationalization » . request: Please change the functionality of MediaWiki to support UTF-8 inter wiki projects. There ar a lot of arguments using UTF-8 Interwiki prefixes : a) users do not need to switch between different keybords b) using RTL interwiki prefixes is more convenient to write source code in wiki syntax because because users / editors would not be irritated about the bidirectional rendering. Thanks for all your efforts in advance! Best regards Reinhardt [[user:Gangleri]] references: [[m:mw:Interwiki table]] ( should geenerate here http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Interwiki_table )
as a consequence from bug 012053#c6 UTF-8 encoding problem related to the "user=" parameter at « count_edits » and some of the requirements remarks at bug 012499 consistency between site setup and pages of the site I have no problems with limitations regarding the supported UTF-8 characters: a) the characters « % » % , « & » & , « + » B; ¿etc.? are not allowed in user names; they should neither be allowed in wiki project codes; b) the same restriction should apply to some of the Unicode characters in the Unicode Genral Punctuation block all / most sots of Unicode whitespace characters the Unicode Character REPLACEMENT CHARACTER U+FFFD other characters "making trouble"
