Message: This should do the job:

def removeNonBreakingSpaceBeforePercent(self, text): ''' Newer MediaWiki versions automatically place a non-breaking space in front of a percent sign, so it is no longer required to place it manually. ''' text = wikipedia.replaceExcept(text, r'(\d) %', r'\1 %', ['timeline']) return text

Message: Sorry I am wrong! Indeed It is not a good idea to replace this between <timeline>-tags. Sorry again.

Message: This concerns to non-breaking space before a %-sign. This behavior is quite right because MediaWiki software replaces blanks between a number and a %-sign with non-breaking spaces itself. This request could be closed.
