It is apparently not possible to enter a URL with spaces and have it automatically escaped, e.g.,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical University of Denmark

should be entered as:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical%20University%20of%20Denmark

On the other hand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/København works ok for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B8benhavn

Also http://københavn.dk works.

see https://test.wikidata.org/wiki/Q132 and https://test.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133

Hello all,

in preparation of next week's deployment to Wikidata.org,

test.wikidata.org <http://test.wikidata.org> now has the new datatype

URL deployed.

If you have the time, we would appreciate if you tested it and let us
know about errors and problems.

The URL datatype should be a big step in allowing to introduce better
sourcing and reliability of the content of Wikidata.

Cheers,
Denny
