Description Liangent 2011-01-29 10:16:03 UTC 
Assume the normalized name of Special:A is Special:B

When I'm requesting index.php?title=Special:A&param I'm redirected to index.php?title=Special:B. &param is lost.
Comment 1 db [inactive,noenotif] 2011-01-29 13:07:06 UTC 
The param are checked for validation and only valid params are there after the redirect. Example:

index.php?title=Special:Ipblocklist&ip=username

index.php?title=Special:BlockList&ip=username
Comment 2 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-01-29 15:24:22 UTC 
Closing as WONTFIX since the described behavior is as designed.
Comment 3 Liangent 2011-01-29 17:12:44 UTC 
The fact is that A is provided in an extension and B is its localized name in a certain language. When no validation is specified by the extension author I guess we should assume all params are useful.

btw. How to write validation code in an extension?
