Description:
Non-breaking spaces in wikilinks should produce a link as though they were normal spaces -- that is, the text [[Foo bar]] should be a link to [[Foo bar]], but with a non-breaking space in the link text. This would simplify the wikitext of links when non-breaking spaces are needed in the link text for display purposes, in a similar way to various other linking simplifications already in use.

This should not break anything, as there should be no need for non-breaking spaces in page titles; I'm not aware that any exist, I can't think of any useful purpose they would serve, and they are already prohibited on the English Wikipedia - and possibly in other places - via the title blacklist.
