Description

In the ILDH, there are two documents "Why is this important?", and "What is the approach?" which can cause problems as the URLs include a "?" which can cause problems when parsed on services like Twitter.

Some possible solutions:

  • find a different encoding for the "?" used in Floe.php (i.e. use %3F unicode).
  • maybe there's a MediaWiki function to escape characters?
  • change the name of the documents to not use the question marks
