Description

I've been editing for an hour in Firefox. I've just tried to add a wikilink. The problem is that the label is plural, and the link needs to be singular. No problem: edit the link.

Hmm, "congenital abnormality" is a redirect. The actual article title is "congenital disorder". No problem: backspace over the words. Oops, I took out the space. No problem: type a new one.

Hmm, no space. I can't get it to give me a space! It wants to search for "congenitaldisorder", all one word.

Confirmed on:

  • Google Chrome 41.0.2272.118 m
  • Firefox (unknown version)

Still does not work for me.

The issue is not present in beta and test2.

In production, the link inspector box just does not allow to type white spaces.

I have version 68e127a if that helps. I don't know if that's beta or test2 or neither.
