Hoi,
I do not understand the need for markup in titles. I certainly believe
that when markup prevents correct orthography in titles in any
language, it means that markup cannot be handled in titles and
consequently the markup in titles should not be allowed.
As MediaWiki is about supporting all languages, markup in titles is
clearly at best a nice to have and certainly not a must have.
Representing orthographies is indeed a MUST have feature.
PS I cross-post to the Wiktionary list. As they have as their aim to
include all words in all languages, it affects ALL wiktionary
projects.
Thanks,
GerardM

Since '' can't be round-tripped reliably in wikitext, it's most likely

I strongly recommend you find another way of representing page titles that
doesn't require the use of markup.
You mean a language should change its ortography to comply with
Mediawiki software? That sounds really strange ... and if instead of
Neapolitan we talked about English, German or any other of the "big"
languages? Must these then also comply to the software or do we then
have the momentum when a way is being searched to have these languages
write their titles correctly? Hmmm ...
So what would you do if the English language had this requirement? Would
you also say the whole world then must misspell because the software
does not support it?
Ciao, Sabine
