Description Scott 2014-05-23 15:01:24 UTC 
As an example, on Wikipedia, [[Earth's Rotation]] should render as:
<a href="/wiki/Earth's_rotation" title="Earth's rotation">Earth's rotation</a>

but instead incorrectly renders as:
<a href="/wiki/Earth%27s_rotation" title="Earth's rotation">Earth's rotation</a>

According to the relevant standards, an apostrophe (single quote) should no longer be percent-escaped.

--

Note that visiting either an escaped or unescaped URL serves up the correct page in both cases.

Also note that *external* links *are* handled correctly, for example rendering:
<a class="external free" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_rotation</a>
