Subject: Cosmetic: Sign "_" replaced with space for http://links
Original description:
1\. In some article you can find incorrect hyperlink formatting, like this one - \[\[http://google.com/some\_page\]\]
2\. In this case cosmtetic\_changes.py replaces this link as \[\[http://google.com/some page\]\] \(space instead underscore\)
3\. I think it's incorrect, even if article has incorrect formatted hyperlinks
4\. Example you can find in this edit as a result

python cosmetic\_changes.py -lang:ru -always -page:"Микаелян, Сергей Абгарович"

http://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%9C%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%BD,\_%D0%A1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%B9\_%D0%90%D0%B1%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87&diff=prev&oldid=41840249

5\. It lloks, that you can avoid this situation just with moving string
text = self.cleanUpLinks\(text\)
under
text = self.fixSyntaxSave\(text\)

6\. So, it looks, that correct calls should be

text = self.fixSelfInterwiki\(text\)
text = self.standardizePageFooter\(text\)
text = self.cleanUpSectionHeaders\(text\)
text = self.putSpacesInLists\(text\)
text = self.translateAndCapitalizeNamespaces\(text\)
text = self.replaceDeprecatedTemplates\(text\)
text = self.resolveHtmlEntities\(text\)
text = self.validXhtml\(text\)
text = self.removeUselessSpaces\(text\)
text = self.removeNonBreakingSpaceBeforePercent\(text\)
text = self.fixSyntaxSave\(text\)
text = self.cleanUpLinks\(text\)
text = self.fixHtml\(text\)
text = self.fixStyle\(text\)
text = self.fixTypo\(text\)
text = self.fixArabicLetters\(text\)
