Originally from: http://sourceforge.net/p/pywikipediabot/bugs/962/ Reported by: carsrac Created on: 2009-06-21 11:14:59 Subject: the apstrophe problem in wiktionary Original description: \[\[wikt:fr:-n’t\]\] and \[\[wikt:en:-n't\]\] are articles about the same. But the bot see different articles. So is there a way that the interwiki.py script in the -wiktionary mode accepts and looks for <'> or <’> at the moment <’> or <'> is used??
I was asked by User:V85 to find a solution for that. ... see http://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/Benutzer\_Diskussion:Melancholie\#Interwikis The whole thing with those apostrophes is disputed, though. ... please read http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User\_talk:Robert\_Ullmann\#Probleme\_with\_apostrophes\_.27\_and\_.E2.80.99 My bot is currently accepting both typographical variants of apostrophes and is ignoring some other typographical differences as well. See http://de.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=User:MelancholieBot/interwiki.py&diff=1025353&oldid=1010497 for a potential patch.
