Description:
HTML character codes
Steps to reproduce:
Actual results:
Pages can be created with the page name as the HTML result generated from the HTML character codes.
(Refer the screen shot)
Expected results:
System should display 'There were no results matching the query.' message.
Version: 1.18.x
Severity: major
Attached:
The suggestion to create the page is not wrong. What's wrong is that the character is not encoded through htmlentities()[0] since it should present a way to create [[¢]] instead of "[[¢]]".
Although this case also asks for a check to see if a title is a valid page title (since ";" is not allowed in page names) - so in this case it shouldn't ask for it to be created after all.

[0] The same way {{PAGENAME}} is encoded in html entities. See also: http://commons.wikimedia.org/?oldid=48378112#testhello
Note, ; is allowed, you just can't have &entity; in a page name. I think the current behaviour makes sense. if someone types abcdé into the search box, i think they should be prompted to create [[Abcdé]].
