Description Liangent 2013-04-21 15:13:36 UTC
In the past, MediaWiki recognizes [[]] and [[ɑ]] two different titles, but now, [[]] is recognized as the uppercase form of [[ɑ]], creating troubles below. This may also happen to wikis flipping $wgCapitalLinks after they've been used for a while.

Original status:

[[]] is a redirect to [[ɑ]]; [[ɑ]] has contents.

When [[]] becomes the uppercase form:

[[ɑ]] is never accessible directly, but accessible as a redirect target of [[]].

After I edit [[]]:

[[ɑ]] becomes inaccessible, even if I change [[]] back to the string "#REDIRECT [[ɑ]]" (in this case [[]] becomes a self-redirect).

To finally resolve the issue:

Use api.php?action=move to move [[ɑ]] (identified by its page id) to some "ucfirst"ed title.
Comment 1 Liangent 2013-04-22 09:13:43 UTC
I don't think this is a redirect bug. The redirect just happens to exist there. Without that redirect, the bug still appears, even in a worse situation ([[ɑ]] becomes inaccessible at all).
