Description Prodego 2007-09-29 23:39:01 UTC 
Using imagemap to link to an external URL with '&' in it will break, the & is converted to &. (that is &amp ; in case it renders it) So a link to www.&.com will go to www.&.com (again &amp ;).
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2007-10-01 13:20:46 UTC 
www.&.com is not a valid domain.
Comment 2 Prodego 2007-10-01 19:49:07 UTC 
However, something like "en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=edit" is valid, and also contains an & symbol. I just used the invalid www.&.com to demonstrate how the & is treated.
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2007-10-02 14:54:55 UTC 
Providing a real example would have helped. :)

Here's a sample ....

<imagemap>
Image:Foo.jpg|200px|picture of a foo
poly 131 45 213 41 210 110 127 109 [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Display&action=history]
</imagemap>

I can confirm that the resulting link is double-HTML-escaped, leading incorrectly to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Display&amp;action=history

Have put the example live at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap/bug_11504
