The bug appeared while creating http://www.omegawiki.org/DefinedMeaning:Dungeons_and_Dragons_%28450997%29 If you click on the syntranses that contain & (ampersand), the expression is cut off before the ampersand in the adress bar. The software needs to wrap around the & to display the correct link.
The problem here is probably the rewrite rules; it looks like the site is rewriting URLs to a form like index.php?title=$1 ... this will break the parameter when a %26 occurs because Apache forces it to be de-escaped to & for reasons not known to mortal man. As a hackaround on the broken rewrite scheme, you could use the patch for Apache 1.3.x we provide which adds a rewrite function to re-escape the & in the title. See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Using_a_very_short_URL#Patching_Apache A cleaner method with an Alias may be preferable, depending on configuration.
Seems to work as expected now.
