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") -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
