dub Cannot delete a link with an asterisk in the path

If you create a short link with * in the slug, when attempting to delete it, the input validation says it is not valid:

It seems to be an issue with the pattern HTML attribute on the input field.

ENG-607 Incorrect input validation on confirm delete

I tested it. If you create a short link with * in the slug, for example, hrsn.link/* you'll have to type hrsn.link to validate the input.

Yep, that works, however it is still technically a validation issue that probably should be fixed. Either by disallowing the * character when creating links, or by just somehow fixing the frontend validation for deleting a link with the * character in it.

I guess both are needed as there can be existing links with * and user should not be able to create links like this
