Description Kyungjoon Lee 2008-05-27 06:52:46 UTC
Hi,

In the e-mail authentication message, [[Special:ConfirmEmail]] appears as a localized string, such as [[특수기능:ConfirmEmail]].

In the message, 특수기능 is expanded as %ED%8A%B9%EC%88%98%EA%B8%B0%EB%8A%A5
However, when you click on the link in MSIE, it gets expanded to %C3%8D%C2%8A%C2%B9%C3%AC%C2%88%C2%98%C3%AA%C2%B8%C2%B0%C3%AB%C2%8A%C2%A5

Consequently, the authentication will fail.

Workaround: use [[Special:]] without urlencoding

Tested with Gmail and MSIE6. Could this be a Gmail problem?
Comment 1 Kyungjoon Lee 2008-05-27 06:53:59 UTC
User workaround: copy and paste the link instead of clicking on it.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2008-05-28 01:02:14 UTC
Sounds like it's probably the same as bug 6957...

I can confirm this with ko.wikipedia.org, Gmail, and IE 6.0 on XP SP 2.
