Description:
In the Kurdish Wikipedia (http://ku.wikipedia.org) with its two scripts (Roman/Arabic) there is an unexpected behaviour concerning non-existing pagenames in Arabic script.

If someone looks for an Arabic script page that does not exist (for instance مارکس ) there will be an automatic redirection to the ROman script page with the same name (in this case: Marks).

The same thing happens in the article search, where the search for the Arabic script page name returns the Roman script pagename. This does NOT happen when doing a fulltext search.

This behaviour makes it impossible to start an Arabic script page by typing the desired name into the browser's address line or the article search box if a Roman script page with the same name exists already.
