Description jeblad 2012-09-05 18:34:40 UTC 
Mediawiki makes a silent UTF-8 normalization into NFC and this can/will make the later identification of the title fail. We can neglect to rewrite into NFC before the call out to the external wiki, but when we unwind the structure we get back we must make sure we test _with_ NFC as the result is silently turned into NFC.
Comment 1 jeblad 2012-09-05 18:40:52 UTC 
Quick-fix, normalize to NFC before we are sending the title to the external wiki. Should work for all languages except for the usual few failures for languages with illegal character sequences.

Make sure the effect of bug 27849 is understood for Wikidata, and that a workaround is in place and taking care of it.
