Indeed, in December we've rolled out a change that

uses raw URL-encoding which results in people visiting a lot of
non-canonical URLs. I attempted a fix in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/42766/ - hope to squeeze it in today's
deployment.
And it was deployed. Do we have enough data since yesterday to figure out
how significant was the drop in requests?
