I'm confused, bug report seems to be:
*Square brackets are never allowed in an internal link
*The subpage part of a special page name could potentially contain [ or ]
(because it is not bound by normal legal title character rules). So could an
interwiki link I suppose if you're abusing that feature (Are there usecases I
missed here? Please speak up if there is)

Well firefox might not properly encode such characters (Are such characters
even illegal in url's. You obviously can't use them in the host part for compat
with IPv6, but for the rest of the url, I don't see why they neccesarily need
to be encoded) I don't see that as being particularly relavent to this bug.


However, at the same time, I think this is a bug that could reasonably be
wontfixed or at least "lowest" priority. Any solution should make sure that
such links are only valid for special pages and possibly interwikis(?) imo. But
if it works for interwikis, then it should work for normal pages. I suppose it
could just link to the "Invalid page title" page if its not a special page.
(The more I think, the more this sounds like a wontfix to me)


Anyways, with that in mind, removing keyword upstream.


>What does "upstream" mean?
Basically "upstream" is a dev way of saying "Somebody else's problem" (aka
software we use in making mediawiki is up the stream, and software that uses
mediawiki would be "downstream")
