TASK DESCRIPTION As a Wikidata editor, when I search for a label and find no matching item, I want to create a new item for this label, in order to use that new item e. g. in a statement elsewhere. **Problem:** On Wikidata, the search page includes a link to Special:NewItem if there are no search results, with the label for the new item pre-filled with the search term. (This is done by customizing an interface message at MediaWiki:search-nonefound <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Search-nonefound>.) However, sometimes the label is escaped incorrectly; namely, an apostrophe turns into “'”. This issue was first reported on the contact the development team page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Contact_the_development_team#Apostrophe_bug> (permanent link <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:PermanentLink/1278838839#Apostrophe_bug>). **Example:** Example search link <https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=NoSuchItemExists'AndNoSuchItemShouldEverExist> **Screenshots/mockups:** **BDD** GIVEN AND WHEN AND THEN AND **Acceptance criteria:** - The “create a new item” link on the search page always produces the correct label (the one that the user entered). **Open questions:** TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263258 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE Cc: matej_suchanek, Ayack, Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Aklapper, Akuckartz, darthmon_wmde, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331
