Open ubahnverleih opened 9 years ago

ubahnverleih commented 9 years ago

the category search is case sensitiv this makes no sense. I think its an api problem.

looks like http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allcategories&acprefix=Cultural%20Monuments is case sensitiv

OK the Poblem in the Mediawiki API source: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/f62bc7536e8c1766ce5a2a616a8b9dcf6046b000/includes/api/ApiQueryAllCategories.php (search for prefix)
