Hi!

I also run an own Mediawiki, but the problem is that many browsers do not encode
the brackets correctly if you copy and paste the URL.
Actually only Firefox/Seamonkey seems to do it right.

For example:

The correct link URL for pasting into a mail:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_%28disambiguation%29

The URL displayed in the browser, and copied by most browsers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_(disambiguation)

The problem now is, that many mail clients (such as Outlook Web-App) won't
recognize the ) being part of the URL and just will open
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_(disambiguation
on click - which does not work of course.

So this might be a failure of most browser or mail clients - but can this be
solved via Mediawiki?

Regards
Martin
