Description

When the page
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/Thread:Talk:Article_feedback/Bug%3F
showed up in [[mw:Special:NewMessages]] I wanted to get a link for it and clicked on "Link to". The first link provided is wrong, because it points to

which opens another thread (since the "?" is not escaped as it should).

I'm tagging this with the "javascript" keyword because the link provided when I disable JavaScript is correct.

Hi Helder! Sorry that nobody has taken a look at this report yet and given feedback. I can confirm that this report is still valid.

No problem.

I'm adding keyword "easy", since escaping things shouldn't be hard to do...

OK for GCI.
