Description poccil 2004-10-06 02:47:56 UTC

Previously I asked for an escaped version of 
PAGENAME and came back with one that escaped spaces 
to underscores.  That's not exactly what I wanted.  
What I wanted was a variable that escaped the name 
of a page as though it were a URL.  For example:

  Page name =>  Page%20name

I would prefer that such a variable be named 
PAGENAMEUE.

Thanks.

What is the difference between an underscore and a %20 for a URL to a wiki page?

The difference is manifested when one wants to use the 
variable to express a search phrase as an external link to a 
search engine.  For example, Google will not parse the name 
Page_name in the same way as it would parse Page%20name.

Template:Google is often used with a parameter other than the page 
title, so a generalized {{urlescape:text}} would be useful.

Just to check the status of this feature request.

Comment 5 Bjørn Erik Pedersen 2005-02-04 20:55:06 UTC

I support the suggestion for:

A general {{urlescape:text}}

Comment 6 Melancholie 2006-01-26 03:19:46 UTC

This is possible by typing {{PAGENAMEE}} now! Thus I 
close this bug.
