Hi!

I also run an own Mediawiki, but the problem is that many browsers do not encode the brackets correctly if you copy and paste the URL. Actually only Firefox/Seamonkey seems to do it right.

For example:

The correct link URL for pasting into a mail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_%28disambiguation%29

The URL displayed in the browser, and copied by most browsers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_(disambiguation)

The problem now is, that many mail clients (such as Outlook Web-App) won't recognize the ) being part of the URL and just will open https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_(disambiguation on click - which does not work of course.

So this might be a failure of most browser or mail clients - but can this be solved via Mediawiki?

I was thinking: Maybe this can be solved by having a plugin for sharing the link. So that people who have troubles sending the link, can create and share the link with this plugin.

E.g. like https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiShare

Anyone having any suggestions or experience?
