Description

On simplewiki, the page "Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2010/ASDFGHJKL;" exists:

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/?curid=233152
https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2010/ASDFGHJKL;&action=view
https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_deletion/Requests/2010/ASDFGHJKL;&action=edit

However, when you try to access it using the canonical /wiki/ URL, it forwards you to the page "Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2010/ASDFGHJKL" without a semicolon, which doesn't exist.
