Description MER-C 2009-08-13 09:14:09 UTC Titles containing consecutive single quotes are impossible to link to in the current implementation of the parser. As such, they should be disallowed (or the parser tweaked). Test case: [[testwiki:User:MER-C/Sandbox]], linking to [[testwiki:''test]]. See also: [[WP:RAF#Disallow creating articles with multiple single quotes]]. Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-08-13 17:45:52 UTC We almost disabled this a couple years ago, however Neapolitan uses the '' sequence legitimately within text, and it appears in article titles. :( See bug 8097, bug 8932... and probably a couple related entries I can't find atm.
