Description:
In my small anime related wiki I had a page named ".hackSign" (without the quotes). Such a
title was accepted and links to it worked nicely in 1.5.0 version of mediawiki combined
together with PHP 4.x. After I have updated the wiki software to 1.7.1 and PHP to 5.1.4 the
links to this page do not work anymore. When I click on them I always get to (an empty) page
titled ".hack/Sign". The same thing happen if I try to enter a page named ".hack
/Sign" or
".hack////Sign" and so on. Setting a redirect to the old page solves the problem, however.
