I'm using Opera, so that's not the problem. 

I wouldn't expect this to work if the brackets weren't URL-encoded, because
that would be inviting the parser to parse the in-URL brackets, which is not
what we want it to do. We only want it to parse the wiki link, and ignore the
URL. 

Right now, it's not ignoring the URL, it's apparently parsing the URL-encoded
brackets to produce a decision to not parse the whole thing, which is where the
problem lies. It should not be messing with the URL at all, it should just
produce the link, and assume the user made a link because they wanted a link.

According to Brion Vibber, it is assuming the user is trying to link to an
invalid title page, which is wrong, and then it is assuming that it's in the
best interest of the user to fail to do as it is commanded, which is wrong
again.

What does "upstream" mean?
