Description Daniel U. Thibault 2004-12-12 21:24:26 UTC
If I write [http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/tl'uno.html UNTAET], it remains
as such instead of converting to a proper URL hyperlink (like if I write instead
[http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/tluno.html UNTAET])...

Comment 2 Rowan Fairgrove 2005-02-23 23:39:23 UTC
Okay, it's February 2005 and "a few days" have passed in 12/12/2004. I would
very much like links to Parliament of the World's Religions to find
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_the_World%27s_Religions. No one
writing about it in an article will leave off the apostrophe so the url *has* to
have it. Or a way to redirect from the proper name to an improper url.  Thanks.

The case above seems to work fine, re-resolving.

If you're experiencing a problem with this other page you've mentioned, you're going to have 
to explain what it is. Listing an example of what you're trying to do (that is, the exact wikitext 
you are trying to enter), what you expect it to do, and why happens instead would be helpful.
