Importing Moin 1.9 Content: Link Resolution and Markup #2177

Description

@UlrichB22

Reported by Paul B. on the moin-devel mailng list:

The [...] problem is connected to the interpretation of links, where a trailing question mark is discarded in Moin 2, whereas it is preserved in Moin 1.9 and encoded in any generated link. For example:

[[Test?|Test?]]

...is encoded as...

<a href="/Test%3F">Test?</a>

...in Moin 1.9. However, in Moin 2, the question mark is discarded, both during the import process and also in any attempt to add it manually in the wiki editor. It then becomes necessary to explicitly encode the link as follows:

[[Test%3F|Test?]]

For content where pages may employ the question mark - such as frequently asked questions - links may be written in the concise form and successfully link to the appropriate page:

[[Test?]]

However, in Moin 2, this is not apparently possible, suggesting a change in semantics, perhaps even a regression of sorts.
