Non-canonical URLs get rewritten into weird psuedo-canonical URLs in alpha
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In alpha, if I load the URL /index.php?title=Igloo, it gets rewritten as /index.php/Igloo?title=Igloo. You can cause this accidentally by switching to desktop mode and back.

I'm not sure if this is really a bug or a weird feature.

it's a feature but we should probably drop the title parameter.

Really we should be redirecting to the canonical URL but there seems to be a bug around that - bug 65402.

Yes, let's just drop the title parameter if possible.
