Description:
Range:
This problem concerns bots, and is present on SR.WP, but could be present on all wikis that use language conversion.
Time of occurrence:
By the best of my observation, it came along with a new method of login authentication.
Description:
As probably yet known, an article on SR.WP can have title either in Cyrillic or Latin script, but a simple user can also type the title in the other script to get the proper content. For example:
The article called "Вектор" could be also called as "Vektor", and the bot would be getting the contents of the article.
This is how it worked for the bots previously: they could request title in either script and get the right results. Since the things changed, the bot MUST pick the right script or it will get result as if the page didn't exist.
Can this be brought to the previous state?
