Description Danny B. 2006-07-21 14:54:32 UTC
1. $1 returns the searched text with leading colon. I wonder about needs, didn't
find any. It's not possible to simply write something like
"There's no page in Wikipedia with name $1"
because it confuses people when they search for "foo" and get
"There's no page in Wikipedia with name :Foo"
or searching for "Template:bar" returns
"There's no page in Wikipedia with name :Template:bar"
etc.

2. $1 used in one built-in template works, in other does not
When need to point to any log page the first idea is:
[{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=move&page=$1}} Move log]
but in case of $1 of more words (Lorem ipsum) it returns link going to log of
page "Lorem" with anchor text "ipsum Move log"
Ok, so apparently encoding needed:
[{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=move&page={{urlencode:$1}}}} Move log]
but it returns link going to log of page "$1" with anchor text "Move log"

Please file separate requests separately in the future.

1) It is a bit weird, yes.  Fair enough to leave it as a bug.

2) This is bug 6261.

Ironed out when "nogomatch" was renamed to "noexactmatch"; the leading colon was
dropped and the message format changed.
