Anyway, isn't Advanced-Search a duplication of Advanced-Search? Shouldn't we merge both?

Ideally, I would assume there is only one character that serves as the separator.

What I don't know is if every keyboard will produce an ASCII comma easily.

To cover this: What about assuming an ASCII comma now, but considering the possible need to internationalization if we find out that it does not make sense, we put the "normal" comma for the user’s locale into place?

Anyway, isn't Advanced-Search a duplication of Advanced-Search? Shouldn't we merge both?

I think Advanced-Search is an old project, and has nothing to do with our Advanced-Search, so I don't think we should merge.

@Jan_Dittrich Indeed, by visiting https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special%3ATranslations&message=Comma-separator&namespace=8&uselang=en and changing the browser scale to 200%, we can see:

So not only this message is not clearly defined which comma should be used, but also however as IMHO, all of our codes of Extensions should be reviewed attentively that, is comma-separated list(s) really stable?
