Description

On [en] wiktionary, there is an xslt file (for use with the xslt option of the api) called [[wikt:mediawiki:extractFirst.xsl]]. Since the software update, it appears that pages in the mediawiki and mediwiki talk namespace have their first letter case insensitive, even on wikis where normal pages can begin with a lowercase letter.

Thus it is now impossible to access [[wikt:mediawiki:extractFirst.xsl]] as it gets converted to [[wikt:mediawiki:ExtractFirst.xsl]] (Which does not exist).

Version: unspecified
Severity: critical

Looks like its caused by r57558 . If some namespaces switched capitalization, shouldn't a maintence script be run to fix the broken pages that started with a lowercase letter?

btw, this affects user pages too.

There are problems when running cleanupTitles:

A database query syntax error has occurred.
The last attempted database query was:
"UPDATE page SET page_namespace = '-1',page_title = 'HlÃetlictramet' WHERE page_id = '4799'"
from within function "TitleCleanup::moveInconsistentPage".
Database returned error "1062: Duplicate entry '-1-HlÃetlictramet' for key 2 (10.0.6.27)"

cleanupTitles.php was unable to handle such cases. Fixed in r64966.

Done.

I don't see the change done on wmf-deployment nor 1.16wmf4. Shouldn't it have passed through it before being run?
Should I do myself the backport?
