Package: wiki.debian.org
Severity: minor
Dear wiki admins,
Encoded URLs are not functionnal. For instance, http://wiki.debian.org/fr/UTF-8
is reachable, but http://wiki.debian.org/fr%2FUTF-8 gives the following error:
Not Found
The requested URL /fr/UTF-8 was not found on this server.
This causes problems with generated URLs, for instance ikiwiki's ‘debwiki’
shortcut.
Cheers,

The server is within its right to handle or refuse such URLs. If you
or some software you are using constructs or manipulates URLs, then
it has to be done correctly taking the server implementation and
rules into account!
Thus most of the time it is not safe to manipulate URLs.
Closing as not a bug.
