Description

2 different links to the search: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Subfader/Links_to_search

In the first the internal page title is "Special:Search/Foo" but should be "Special:Search" imo

Same page
Special pages don't have subpages
If treated as subpage, where is subnavi...
Bad for JS atm where you rely on wgPageName=="Special:Search" to be true no matter how a user may link to search somewhere

You need to add projects to this ticket.

I disagree. We should treat all special pages the same. Either they all should have the subpageless internal title, or none should.

That wouldn't work due to localized special page names anyways. You should be using mw.config.get('wgCanonicalSpecialPageName') which will always be Search.
