Hallo! Please take a look at http://yi.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/%D7%B1 http://yi.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/%D7%95%D7%99 and http://yi.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%B1&action=edit http://yi.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%95%D7%99&action=edit This bug report is about the coding of characters %D7%B1 and %D7%95%D7%99 . See similar note about "precombined characters" versus "NON-precombined characters" at bug 2399 comment 25 . I am not shure if a "character normalisation" is required or not. However compatibility should be asured between different ways of writing and support for a large scale of browsers. At some point this has also some inpact on search and google. This is not the requirement here. The first question is if http://yi.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/%D7%B1 http://yi.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/%D7%95%D7%99 are *two* titles in the database or if these *point only to an identical title*. Impacts if this can not be fixed: - because of different ways of coding it might be necessary to make redirects from all these variants - making these redirects "manualy" is a source of errors (it might not be complete etc.) Best regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
These are distinct characters: %D7%B1 U+05F1 HEBREW LIGATURE YIDDISH VAV YOD %D7%95 U+05D5 HEBREW LETTER VAV %D7%99 U+05D9 HEBREW LETTER YOD The Unicode database does not define a canonical decomposition for U+05F1. They are different pages in the wiki.
Thank you Brion for the answer. http://yi.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:%D7%95%D7%95 is a category of "misspelled" redirects for titles where two VAV's וו are used. I understand that the character װ should be used I inserted the "misspelled" redirects because they are frequent forms used on the internet beside many many others I need more time to think about what to do Best regards Reinhardt user:gangleri
