Description MZMcBride 2008-10-31 09:01:34 UTC
Links like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mw:Page_table produce a bad title error and don't redirect for security reasons. However, if we know that mw: is mediawiki.org/wiki/$1 can't a link to the site be provided for easier web navigation?

Redirects to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Page_table via https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Page_table nowadays.

Is this ticket obsolete nowadays, or are there other examples for the problem still existing?
Comment 2 MZMcBride 2014-08-11 12:57:38 UTC
The general issue still exists, the "mw:" prefix was just adjusted.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=google:foo properly redirects the user.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/google:foo still results in an unhelpful error. Either we should redirect the user or we should provide a usable link for the user to click, as we already clearly have knowledge of the "google:" prefix.
