In [[Special:Categories]], if the value passed in the "offset" parameter is not capitalized, the expected categories won't be displayed. Please compare: * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&offset=test * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Categories&offset=Test Both capitalized and uncapitalized words should be allowed, like in [[Special:Allpages]]; see: * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&from=test&namespace=14 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&from=Test&namespace=14
I'm not sure if it's directly related, but a similar problem appears when an uncapitalized value is passed to the "from" or "until" parameters of a category: * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Living_people&from=a * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Living_people&until=a > Both capitalized and uncapitalized words should be allowed, like in > [[Special:Allpages]]; see: > * > http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&from=test&namespace=14 > * > http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&from=Test&namespace=14 > Apparently, the bug was fixed in r5018.
This is not a bug, unless in your language you have specific needs i.e. this is a manifestation of bug 30673. The sorting in your examples is technically correct and also needed, see e.g. bug 30722; you might be confused by it, but then you should play with URL directly (the UI doesn't give you such links).
