--- Comment #5 from Daniel Kinzler <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #3) > "there is no white space in the URL" Note that in wikitext, this is also true. It's actually the assumption that led to the syntax for external links as we use it now. > You mean, you want to enforce people to paste encoded urls into the field I would like them to post a *valid* URL (or perhaps IRI), yes. > (note > that I believe browsers these days feed an unencoded url to the copy past > board > for readability of urls). I can't even get firefox to show a URL with a space in it, it always gets converted to '+' right away. And Firefox will *show* https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Вашингтон,_Джордж, but if you copy&paste it, you get https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%B0%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BD,_%D0%94%D0%B6%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B4%D0%B6. So your assumptions is wrong at least for firefox. Now, i'd accept full unicode IRIs, but no spaces. Not sure yet if we should convert to true URL syntax internally, with encoded non-ascii characters. For now, we'll just save the URL as it comes in if it's valid. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
