Capital Letter I on trwiki is interpreted by search as i instead of ı
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When you enter "KINA" into the search box, you are redirected to "Kina" instead of "Kına". In the Turkish alphabet, the letters "I" and "İ" are distinct, so the corresponding uncapitalized versions need to work accordingly, without a conflict.

Let me report something that I think may be related. I recently realized that we have both of the following pages at trwiki:

https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:%C4%B0pboptions
https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Ipboptions

Only MW:İpboptions was working, so I merged the pages under that name. This concerns all the interface messages that start with an "I". They only work when the page has an uppercase dotted İ as the first letter.

I can no longer reproduce this problem, so I guess it was fixed at some point. Yay!

@Deskana: The MediaWiki page I mentioned above is still under the name of https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:%C4%B0pboptions. Is this something we should be concerned about?

As a general rule, if something works and doesn't seem to cause any other issues then I'd say you shouldn't worry about it. I don't see any issues, but I am far from an expert in this area. :-)
