Description

Please see the history of the article above. Square brackets in URLs cause confusion to the wiki code parser, resulting in non functioning urls.

When [ and ] get replaced by %5b and %5d respectively the URL works without problem.

IABot didn't do anything with this link.

True, but when adding an archive link with square brackets, these characters should be replaced by %5b and %5d because otherwise the link won't work.
