Description

When trying to use the NewPage macro to create a new page from a template whose name includes an accentuated character, moin is unable to find the correct template:

[[NewPage(ModèleDeBrouillonDeLaGazette,Nouveau brouillon,Gazette Linux/Brouillons)]]

I therefore get the following error message (BUG1):

[Template Mod%C3%A8leDeBrouillonDeLaGazette not found]

• I found a close case: an accented category page (like CategoryÁrea) does not appear in the combobox of the editor (BUG2).

  • Actually, this is configurable (and thus considered as a usability issue/feature ), see HelpOnConfiguration. It would be possible to use the uppercase regex there that works for every unicode character.

    • Great. Can you help with those regex for those of us that knows nothing about them?

      • I think the correct solution is to have a default regex that fixes that bug. Until then I recommend ConfigMarket.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Template with a name including an accuentuated character. For example: CaféTemplate.

2. Create a corresponding NewPage macro. For example:

    [[NewPage(CaféTemplate,Test,WikiSandBox)]]

3. Use it

Discussion

BUG1 happens because in querystring template=pagename, the pagename gets double-URL-quoted (should be URL quoted, once only). Strange, I only see a wikiutil.escape() call (but that does only handle <, >, & and " and does not urlquote) - where does the urlquoting happen? Why double?

BUG2 is a configuration issue.
