Weblinks with an ) at the end of the url are handled incorrect by weblinkchecker. That means that the ) is stripped from the url. See example:

$ python weblinkchecker.py -lang:nl -page:Gebruiker:Smile4ever/test Getting 1 page from wikipedia:nl... Waiting for remaining 1 threads to finish, please wait... *[[Gebruiker:Smile4ever/test]] links to http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koe%5C_%5C(rund - 404 Not Found. Saving history...
