localize value acceptance of function <ref name= />
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

This bug is related to bug no. 19115 localize word "references"

still I want to report this bug separately so may be can achive some minimum level to make it more userfreindly.I am going ahead with the request since I am under impression that enhancement can be achived like for various magic words in mediawiki software.

The new bug to accept atleast localisation of <ref name=features /> (reference name) in this fuction in Devnagari Script(Usefull to Marathi,Hindi and Nepali Language wiki project besides such enhancement may benefit many other non roman script languages) .

When I tried to use

<ref name=फिचर/> in devnagari script it did not take it.I had to compusorily give name in english language(roman script).This is bit awkward because I can not use an author's or books name in local language.besides it increases support requirement in wikification and guding new users

so please do localise <ref name= /> to accept value in devnagari and other non roman scripts.

Thanks and Regards

Works for me. Use <ref name="फिचर"/> instead: you have to quote the name if it contains unusual characters (including stuff like spaces), this is how XML works. It's best to always quote the name just to be sure.

Wikitext is not xml. Why are quotes required in this case?

Beats me. The fact is that adding quotes fixes it.

I would be guessing it is encase there is spaces or like so it can easily detect the end of the name.
