How to make working URL links when they have parentheses and special characters

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Come on. I SAID I was going to CHANGE the example. Obviously it is a DIFFERENT link.

The original example went to a valid page when it was truncated by the DU page, but not the intended page. That caused confusion which I described.

So to make a more illustrative discussion, I changed to a different example where the truncation did not lead to a valid page, in order to make the effectiveness of the character code substitutions crystal clear.

Everything I've done is this thread has been out in the open. There is no dishonesty. The original edit is still available in the edit record. The green indicator provided by DU includes a link to the Edit History. But even without the green, you can click on the big number in the Recommendations box upper left to get to the Edit History. There you can click on All to see All of the edits.
