Re: [Wikitech-l] [Bug 17680] colon sometimes URL encoded "%3A" right there in the browser URL entry area

18 Mar 2009

Why does ":" get rendered %3A here? It looks so ugly. Can't anything
be done?

Testing http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allpages
It their URL bars, Firefox, and emacs-w3m show
          http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:所有页面
OK, but then hitting the [提交] (Go) button gives:
Firefox: 
http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3A所有页面&from=&to=&…
emacs-w3m
http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:所有页面&from=&to=&am…

The weird thing is one can do
$ firefox
http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:所有页面&from=&to=&am…
and the colon stays put.
