"Wikipedia article" box falsely shows invalid URL

Open Spaceboy10 opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

Description

Under Request a new service, the Wikipedia article text box will tell you that your link is invalid if whatever after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ contains special characters (!,?,@,#,$, to name a few).

How To Reproduce It

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the Request a new service page
  2. In the Wikipedia article box, put the link to an article whose title has a special character, it won't work. But it will take it if you remove the characters.

Expected Behavior

It should accept my link, because it is valid.

Screenshots

Having technical difficulties, will add later
