Something strange is going on here. This is fixed in really old changes. See for example Change I36e6abf5: (Bug 39485) Encode params for ItemByLabel and ItemByTitle Also there are old bugs about this; Bug 39485 - Add item link is broken on Special:ItemByTitle, Bug 42149 - Broken link in the invitation for users to update the item
Looks good to me, cannot reproduce. Is this still the case? (if so, set status back to NEW)
Yes, it is happening in production right now: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ItemDisambiguation/en/train_line ItemByLabel is now called ItemDisambiguation. You can see that both the link and visible text are broken. And the message is straight from code: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllMessages&prefix=Wikibase-itemdisambiguation-create&filter=unmodified&lang=en&limit=50 That fix looks correct. Looking at the code, it seems to have been lost in a merge somewhere along the way.
Change 71763 had a related patch set uploaded by Aude: (bug 42358) url encode label in item disambiguation create item link https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/71763
