On English Wikipedia, we use a template "copyvio". It has an argument "url" which is used to display a link to the original online article which has been copied. The text of {{copyvio}} is available at: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Copyvio An invocation failed for the URL "http://www.privacyinternational.org/article.shtml?cmd%5B347%5D=x-347-65428". After some messing around we worked out that the problem was the embedded square brackets. I changed it to:
{{copyvio|url=http://www.privacyinternational.org/article.shtml?cmd%5B347%5D=x-347-65428%7... Of course this kind of fix probably wouldn't be easy for the average Wikimedia editor to do--and probably way beyond the capacity of 90% of all Wikipedians. Would this be easy to fix? Am I missing something neat and lovely?
