Dear friends; I did not come across this issue. In order to define a unique sort criteria in categories ( see http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Sort_key/ and http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Sort_key/#comments ) I needed a character which is not allowed in page titles but which is accepted in MediaWiki. http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Sort_key/#wikification_for_09_0A_0D shows that 	 
 
 are accepted as MediaWiki input and http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Sort_key/#piping_with_09_0A_0D shows that 	 
 
 are accepted for pipe. questions: a1) is this legal? a2) if not it probably will change at some point in time? b1) is this included in the documentation? b2) where? Best regards Reinhardt [[user:Gangleri]] P.S. MediaZilla is *not* a forum. Allow me one related question: c1) where is the documentation about character normalisation / conversion?
This is a very old bug report, never addressed. Probably fixed? Is this still a problem in current MediaWiki installations?
The links are now http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Sort_key/#wikification_for_.26.23x09.3B_.26.23x0A.3B_.26.23x0D.3B http://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Sort_key/#piping_with_.26.23x09.3B_.26.23x0A.3B_.26.23x0D.3B (In reply to comment #0) > In order to define a unique sort criteria in categories I needed a character > which is not allowed in page titles but which is accepted in MediaWiki. This sounds like a gross hack to me. Explaining what you try to achieve (concrete example) would be good. > a1) is this legal? What is "this" here? The current situation, or the use of those three characters for sorting? > a2) if not it probably will change at some point in time? No guarantees.
At this point, what is the enhancement requested in this report? To document a current behavior or to change something? Marking as Lowest since this seems to reflect the situation better.
Unfortunately closing this report as no further information has been provided. lɛʁi: Please feel free to reopen this report if you can provide the information asked for in comment 3, and if this still happens. Thanks!
