#WorkAround If a user copies the URL from the URL bar it will successfully tweet a functional link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Crocodile%22_Dundee

I've seen other similar requests specifically for wikipedia URLs like this one, so I'll also look into fixing the root problem at some point, or hopefully we can get a pull request.

One alternative to relaxing our inline URL parsing rules for all tweets and dms is to rewrite malformed (unescaped) urls when the user pastes then into clients.

The trick is detecting when they are pasting a URL by itself, or a URL followed by text that should not be included. On Oct 7, 2015 1:58 PM, "James Koval" [email protected] wrote:
