Description

On mediawiki.org,

I. Observed: the "Manual:Content namespace" title is suggested.

II. Observed: the search page is opened and the title is said not to exist.
III. Expected: the suggested title should exist.

What exists is "Content namespace" without Manual:, which is a redirect.

Version: master
Severity: normal
URL: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_namespace

This might be another thing that https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/141660/ fixes though.

fixes though.

I doubt it, the patch it follows up to is not live on mediawiki.org.

Still happening, for instance on mediawiki.org I'm suggested the title "Manual:Composer/packagist.org" which never existed AFAICS.
