Following special pages seem to have this problem, too:
Watchlist, Log, DoubleRedirects, Allpages, Unusedimages, Wantedpages,
Ipblocklist, Newpages, Imagelist, Ancientpages, BrokenRedirecrs, and
Search.

Generally, all pagename including username should be enclosed by
`unicode-bidi:embed' style.

add unicode-bidi:embed style to all internal links

An alternative patch to Linker.php.

This patch adds "unicode-bidi:embed" style to *all* internal links using
Linker::make***Link().

But style is also added to all links in wiki content.
This patch may not be a best solution.

bug 3888: BiDi vulnerability: RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE - U 202E in titles /
usernames generates a mess

That bug is about creating a title using a RIGHT-TO-LEFT OVERRIDE - U 202E
without Unicode a balanced POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING - U 202C. This could occur
in titles usernames and as an error configuration in MediaWiki messages .

To my understanding such combinations should occur only in "balanced" numbers.

I would like to add a character to our Hebrew Wikipedia
RC page.

I do not know what this character is called, though I
can create it by pressing Ctrl + the "]" button. It
adds an invisible "fixed" space. Adding this space
right after the time displayed in the should fix this
problem we have.

I would also like to add it before and after the date
used in ~~~~ and ~~~~~ functions.

How can I do this? or, more likely, who can do/try this
for me?

Thanks, Yoni
