MediaWiki:Blockipsuccesstext creates a URL containing $1 (the user name that was blocked). Since a space is the delimeter between the actual URL and its description (e.g. [http://someplace.net this link]), if the user name happens to contain a space, the URL is not what you expect it to be. A solution would be to have the software replace the spaces by underscores.
It seems to be wikitext, with wiki links, so spaces should work fine. 'blockipsuccesstext' => '[[{{ns:Special}}:Contributions/$1|$1]] has been blocked. <br />See[[{{ns:Special}}:Ipblocklist|IP block list]] to review blocks.',
The phrase [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=&page=User:$1 block log] is a raw URL and doesn't work properly if $1 contains spaces.
Then don't do that... ?
Well, yes, good point. I was just wondering if there was an easy way to make $1 use underscores rather than spaces, but if thee isn't I won't bother you with it.
Well, underscores isn't sufficient. You'd need a url-encoded version.
