I'd add this query to the URL behaviour: /wiki/[[article]] and
/wiki/{{Template1}} They'd redirect instead of going to [[Bad title]] (they're
forbidden characters in article names:
[[w:Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28technical_restrictions%29#Characters_not_allowed_at_all_in_page_titles]])

No, the request is quite clear. When the user shoves "{{foo}}" in the search box
and hits Go, the thing should be transformed to Template:Foo and looked for.

Yes, *he* asks for it on the Go search. *I* ask such behaviour for URLs too.

You will not receive your request. He may.

So it's been seven years. Nothing happened.

Do we still want it? Because I'm inclined to close it as WONTFIX.

(Also changing component.)

WONTFIXing per above.
