Sorry for this:

Dear friends,
http://yi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%80%AEtest is using RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE - U
202E (see http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202e/index.htm ) in the
title.

It is used *without* closing
Unicode Character 'POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING' (U+202C)
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/202c/index.htm

This is why [[yi:Special:Recentchanges]] gets totaly confused writing in
mirrored fashion up to th end of the line.

I know "Don't feed t**s". However a long term decision about valid titles /
normalisation should be made.

Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
