Description

At this stage, this Phab task is probably more "FYI" than "actionable bug", but:

I posted a new thread on 9 December 2015 at mw:Talk:Phabricator/Help. The straight single quotation mark in the topic title was percent-encoded upon saving. When I refreshed the page, it displayed correctly.

I've not been able to reproduce this since. It originally appeared in Safari 9 on Mac OS 10.10. I've also not seen any other reports of this happening.

It was definitely %27, not ' or something else?

There are some related things, e.g. T120324: XSS in Flow topic titles and T120291: wikitext in flow titles is parsed (HTML tags like <tt> and templates) on echo notifications, but I think the first was 100% deployed before 2015-12-09 and the second I don't think had anything to do with percent-encoding (don't really think the first did either, but I could be wrong).

Etonkovidova mentioned this in T120291: wikitext in flow titles is parsed (HTML tags like <tt> and templates) on echo notifications.Mar 2 2016, 11:43 PM
