Creating and linking to a page with an ampersand in the title causes unexpected results. A red link to such a page allows editing, but as soon as the page is saved the "There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page." template is displayed and the page title is displayed truncated at the ampersand. The same brokenness results when following a link to said page -- the page title being displayed is truncated at the ampersand and nothing is displayed.

You have bad mod_rewrite rules. Use an alias instead of rewrite for best compatibility, or patch Apache; see the patch in maintenance/.
