Description:
Not all of the 'standard' parser functions work in 1.6.10 and nobody seems to care. Apologies if you do care, but in the meantime here is the bug.

Sorry if this bug got reported before - I searched 'parser functions 1.6.10' but got loads of apparently unrelated bugs. i.e. none were complaining about missing functions.

I define 'standard' parser functions as classified here...

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Parser_function_extensions

So perhaps this is really a 'MediaWiki.org documentation' bug... can a wiki have a documentation bug? Oh well...

Specifically urlencode does not work in 1.6.10. All the other 'standard' parser functions do.

I had a stab at a workaround here http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Urlencode

but it doesn't play well in constructs like...

Thanks for your consideration,
Your fan,

Dan.
