I'm not sure where this stems from. In fact Im not sure if it's mediawiki, parser functions or just a "you shouldn't be trying to do that". Basically I wanted a system message to include a link to the delete log of the relevant article. The pagename is provided in "$1", and I wanted the system message to include "[{{urlencode:$1}} $1]" as a link. Poor coding perhaps, but as the message allowed piped links I had hopes it might work. The revision of the system message is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Missing-article&oldid=289791845 I then clicked the link for an oversighted revision <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=289767780&oldid=289682224> to see if it worked. The piping worked, as in, the resulting error gave the correct (piped) display name. But the URL it hyperlinked to was <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete&page=%7FUNIQ2013e14f31611b6d-nowiki-00000001-QINU%7F> Something's not quite right there....
Updated permalink for the relevant parser code: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Missing-article&oldid=289795680
<TimStarling> you can't urlencode a URL <TimStarling> oh right, you're skipping the rest of the URL <TimStarling> good fun <TimStarling> presumably the article name is wrapped in <nowiki> <TimStarling> I seem to remember that was done in a few messages
Noting the same error occurs for: [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=delete&page={{urlencode:$1}}}} blah] as well. The piped text is fine, the hyperlink points to: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete&page=%7FUNIQ47869a6929f0a2d4-nowiki-00000001-QINU%7F
{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=delete&page=$1}} didn't work either
