"tools"-interwiki should not urlencode "?" and "="
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Author: RSYQFIOJGWZA

Description:
There has been a problem with the magic "Tools" namespace urlencoding "?" and "=". I have compensated for it in edit http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Sr-request&diff=3103234&oldid=3081092 by using "http://toolserver.org/" in the links for "crosswiki-ness" and "crossactivity".

Please see the discussion at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Sr-request#Urlencoding .

Thanks for your report.

A little tech talk – There is no Tools namespace.
"tools:" (just like "mw:", "meta:" , "commons:", 'en:") are interwiki links.

They point to places on other domains.

If such place should be referenced with an additional query string, then the correct syntax is to use {{fullurl:}}, instead of a [[normal link]]. The behavior is expected and intended. Closing bug report as invalid.

I've made some examples here to see how this can be used in Template:Sr-request

If it still doesn't work, feel free to re-open this bug.
