           Summary: HTML5 anchor encoding bug (refs only?)

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

"In HTML4 mode, wikitext characters get escaped in the anchor name, e.g. <ref
name="foo [[bar]]" /> generates wikitext like <sup
id="cite_ref-foo_.5B.5Bbar.5D.5D_0-0"
class="reference">[[#cite_note-foo_.5B.5Bbar.5D.5D-0|[1]]]</sup>; note the
brackets have changed to ".5B" and ".5D". In HTML5 mode, these characters
aren't escaped, generating <sup id="cite_ref-foo_[[bar]]_0-0"
class="reference">[[#cite_note-foo_[[bar]]-0|[1]]]</sup> instead, with brackets
inside the attempted wikilink. Since brackets cannot actually appear inside a
wikilink, boom. Anomie⚔"
