Why does ":" get rendered %3A here? It looks so ugly. Can't anything be done?
Testing http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allpages It their URL bars, Firefox, and emacs-w3m show http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:%E6%89%80%E6%9C%89%E9%A1%B5%E9%9D%A2 OK, but then hitting the [提交] (Go) button gives: Firefox: http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3A%E6%89%80%E6%9C%89%E9%A1... emacs-w3m http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:%E6%89%80%E6%9C%89%E9%A1%B...
The weird thing is one can do $ firefox http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:%E6%89%80%E6%9C%89%E9%A1%B... and the colon stays put.

This has nothing to do with MediaWiki. Go complain to the Firefox and/or Emacs developers. We can only output the colons in our HTML, we can't control what browsers do after that.

For the record: I've verified that MediaWiki does indeed output literal colons rather than urlencoding them as %3A, see also the bug.
