Link to wiki page with special characters in title

Added by Roland Deschain about 6 years ago

Hi

I'm trying to link to a wiki page from another wiki page using the 

[[]]

syntax. However, the problem is that the title of my page includes square brackets, for example:
[testing] Some topic

I tried both

[[[testing]_Some_topic]]

and
[[%5Btesting%5D_Some_topic]]

but both don't work. The first one just prints the text without generating the link, the second one generates an incorrect link (the "%" signs are encoded to %25, ruining the link).

Can anyone tell me how I can link to a wiki page which has square brackets in the title?

Hi,

I hope you have found a solution since your post, but I'm answering in case someone finds this on Google (what I did before finding out myself).
The solution is to use HTML codes for square brackets :

[[[testing]_Some_topic]]

HTML codes for all ASCII characters can be found online, for instance on asciitable.com.
