As I pointed out to you before, this isn't the dev list, and people here don't determine whether this documented behaviour is a bug or a feature.
What a strange attitude to take toward software development! Developers don't determine whether or not a behavior is a bug. Developers fix bugs reported by users. It's the users that determine which behaviors are bugs.
No wonder relations between MediaWiki developers and MediaWiki users are so bad: the users are letting the developers walk all over them. (Not that this is an uncommon problem with open source software; there often isn't anyone who makes any real effort on the development side to ensure that development is responsive to user requirements, and products often wander off in whatever direction the developers think is interesting whether or not anybody else wants it.)
