Description:
The normalization equates Ὀξύς (where ύ is U+03CD,
upsilon with tonos) and Ὀξύς (where ύ is U+1F7B,
upsilon with oxia); visiting http://la.wiktionary.
org/wiki/Ὀξύς (with oxia) redirects without notice
to http://la.wiktionary.org/wiki/Ὀξύς (with tonos).
That's rational behavior.
However:
- A wikilink to [[Ὀξύς]] (with oxia) is not
recognized by the software as pointing to an extant
page. The link does "work" in the sense that it
links to Ὀξύς (with tonos), but it will make it
into an edit link, not a regular link. (The
example is the first link in the table under
"declinatio").
The {{sofixit}} solution is to edit the link so
that it points to the tonos form; this works,
though counterintuitive to people with polytonic
keyboards, who may expect a page they thought they
created with oxia [which mediawiki silently
converted to tonos] to be linkable to with oxia.
