-> In your original report, you said the `rootpage` was ASCII and started with `./`:
-> `./bugs`. Then you mentioned Chinese characters (any non-ASCII character like é or ¬
-> should behave the same as Chinese here) and attached a patch that alters how those
-> are handled, without affecting what would happen to a `rootpage` that starts
-> with `./`; so I'm confused about what the bug was, and what you are fixing?
+> (For other maintainers' reference: when testing Unicode bugs that
+> relate to page titles, using Unicode that is considered to be
+> punctuation, like ¬ or emoji, will probably not work; page titles
+> treat `[:alnum:]` and `^[:alnum:]` differently.)
