Unfortunately, all link targets are treated by the software as a
"Title" object - so interwiki links have to obey the validity
constraints and normalisation rules that an internal link would. So
spaces become underscores, plusses kill the link completely, and
percent-escapes are quietly unescaped. It might be possible to change
this, but it could be awkward because it would require spotting an
interwiki link before any other processing had been done on that
link/target. See also
