When would $1 get evaluated? Who's evaluating $1? Where does the value for
$1 come from?
I take it you don't mean {{{1}}} the Template parameter.

Does anyone have any other ideas how to produce (reliably) an internal
link with a query string?
Attempt 1:
[[Special:Foobar?arg=$1|new special page]]
This fails as
http://mywiki.com/wiki/Special:Foobar%3Farg%3D%241.
Attempt 2:
[{{SERVER}}/wiki/Special:Foobar?arg=$1 new special page]
This produces an incorrect when $1 contains whitespace: only the first
word of $1 is in the link.
Attempt 3:
[[{{fullurl:Special:Foobar|arg=$1}}]]
This fails for the same reason as attempt #2.
Attempt 4:
Try urlencoding "$1" to avoid the whitespace problem:
[[{{fullurl:Special:Foobar|arg={{urlencode:$1}}}}]]
This fails because {{urlencode}} is evaluated before $1, so the literal
string "$1" gets urlencoded, rather than the expanded $1.
Any other ideas? Or is this impossible?
Thanks,
