The normalization equates Ὀξύς (where ύ is U+03CD, upsilon with tonos) and Ὀξύς (where ύ is U+1F7B, upsilon with oxia); visiting http://la.wiktionary. org/wiki/Ὀξύς (with oxia) redirects without notice to http://la.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ὀξύς (with tonos). That's rational behavior. However: * A wikilink to [[Ὀξύς]] (with oxia) is not recognized by the software as pointing to an extant page. The link does "work" in the sense that it links to Ὀξύς (with tonos), but it will make it into an edit link, not a regular link. (The example is the first link in the table under "declinatio"). The {{sofixit}} solution is to edit the link so that it points to the tonos form; this works, though counterintuitive to people with polytonic keyboards, who may expect a page they thought they created with oxia [which mediawiki silently converted to tonos] to be linkable to with oxia.
Another part of this problem is that links to Ὀξύς with oxia do not show up in the whatlinkshere for Ὀξύς with tonos. And because Ὀξύς with oxia and Ὀξύς with tonos are merged in urls with the normalization, it's impossible to do a whatlinkshere on Ὀξύς with oxia -- you get silently redirected to the whatlinkshere on Ὀξύς with tonos. I don't know if this is a separate bug or not. For an example compare: http://la.wiktionary.org/wiki/Usor:Mycēs/oxia http://la.wiktionary.org/wiki/Usor:Mycēs/tonos
Okay, text now appears to be normalized on input; this is no longer an issue.

This means that in this testcase the first small letter is replaced with the great one. That function is involved here also. If capitalisation would be switched off other links would be generated at [[wiktinary:la:]].
