Now URL link text in "More"->"Link to" shows "Thread:Base_page/Thread's_row_text" format. It works well in English and other similar languages but doesn't in languages like Japanese. For example in translatewiki.net, Link URL shows: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Portal_talk:Ja/MediaWiki翻訳の停滞 but this URL doesn't work well if the browser doesn't support UTF8 encode URL. It should be http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Portal_talk:Ja/MediaWiki%E7%BF%BB%E8%A8%B3%E3%81%AE%E5%81%9C%E6%BB%9E so that anyone can get the correct page.
It looks like the server still responds correctly even without URL encoding: $ nc -C translatewiki.net GET /wiki/Thread:Portal_talk:Ja/MediaWiki翻訳の停滞 HTTP/1.1 Host: translatewiki.net HTTP/1.1 200 OK X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.2-1ubuntu4.10 X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-language: en X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Vary: Accept-Encoding, Cookie Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Cache-Control: private, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:19:18 GMT Server: lighttpd/1.4.26 7ef0 <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang=en dir=ltr class=client-nojs> <title>MediaWiki翻訳の停滞 - translatewiki.net</title> ... Reopen if you can show a server that doesn't respond correctly.
Re-opening this bug. You can see the problem on this posting: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Is_there_a_way_to_disable_localization_cache%3f LQT provides the URL with the question mark not URI encoded. This means the URL won't work if you cut-n-paste it into a browser.
