In the skins Classic, Cologne blue and Nostalgia, the url when clicking the move link on many page names with percent-encoded characters is wrong and causes the error message:
"No target
You have not specified a target page or user on which to perform this function."
For example, on the article Lay's at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lay%27s
two correctly working move url's would be
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MovePage/Lay%27s
or
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MovePage&target=Lay%27s
but in Classic, Cologne blue and Nostalgia it is
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MovePage&target=Lay%2527s
It says %25 instead of %. It can happen for each % if there are more. The percent-encoding of % is %25 so maybe the url has been percent-encoded twice in a row.
In all other skins in the English Wikipedia, the move url is the correctly working
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MovePage/Lay%27s
