Description Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2013-07-25 01:12:50 UTC

Split from bug 51308 comment 2.

Special:prefixindex doesn't allow searching for titles by a prefix that is an invalid title (but still a valid prefix). The primary problem area involves "relative directory" syntax. For example (not including quotes):
* '.'
* '..'
* 'Anything ending with/.'
* 'Anything ending with/..'

However all 4 of these can be valid prefixes of a title.

See SpecialAllpages::getNamespaceKeyAndText and Title::secureAndSplit. I guess we shouldn't assume the prefix forms an actually valid title.
