Bug ID: 65678
Summary: Apostrophe (single quote) in internal links is
percent-escaped unnecessarily (and against the
standards)
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Web browser: ---
Mobile Platform: ---
As an example, on Wikipedia, [[Earth's Rotation]] should render as:
<a href="/wiki/Earth's_rotation" title="Earth's rotation">Earth's rotation</a>
but instead incorrectly renders as:
<a href="/wiki/Earth%27s_rotation" title="Earth's rotation">Earth's
rotation</a>
According to the relevant standards, an apostrophe (single quote) should no
longer be percent-escaped.
--
Note that visiting either an escaped or unescaped URL serves up the correct
page in both cases.
Also note that *external* links *are* handled correctly, for example rendering:
<a class="external free"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation</a>
