When we don't, people copying/pasting from their URL bar will have funky strings that MMV doesn't understand. From Fabrice: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightbox_demo#mediaviewer/File:How%20to%20Make%20Wikipedia%20Better%20-%20Wikimania%202013%20-%2011.jpg/3 So, we'll just urlencode it first. Easy enough.
Maybe use anchorencode? Looks nicer, and that way people can use [[foo#bar]] notation to link to the lightbox.
Is this still relevant now that the %20 bug has been fixed? If so, please move it to mingle.
I created #206 for this (partially) a while ago: https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/cards/206 I think the bug can be closed, the lack of encoding does not cause any error now.
