Description Stephen Shep 2008-09-12 17:31:21 UTC
URLs break when there is a space instead of an underscore. 
Example: 
http://www.website.com/09876/WikiProject Foo/
http://www.website.com/09876/WikiProject_Foo/

Would it be possible for the software to recognize a URl and if a space is present treat it as an underscore?
Comment 1 Filip Maljkovic [Dungodung] 2008-09-13 12:41:55 UTC
URLs are conceived as having no spaces, so spaces serve as delimiters. e.g. [http://www.website.com/09876/WikiProject Foo/] would render a link to http://www.website.com/09876/WikiProject with "Foo/" as shown text, whereas [http://www.website.com/09876/WikiProject_Foo/] would render a link to http://www.website.com/09876/WikiProject_Foo/ with "[1]" as shown text. Suggesting WONTFIX.

Comment 2 Niklas Laxström 2008-09-19 08:19:34 UTC
%20 should work in place of space.
