Hi @Xiplus, thanks for taking the time to report this!

Link is: https://pl.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:BlockList/%25C5%259Awi%25C4%2599tokrzyskie3
Should be: https://pl.wikinews.org/wiki/Special:BlockList/%C5%9Awi%C4%99tokrzyskie3

Looks like double encoding.

Wondering if this is the same underlying issue as T251962

Line is probably in ./includes/specials/SpecialCentralAuth.php:

self::foreignLink(
	$row['wiki'],
	'Special:BlockList/' . urlencode( $row['name'] ),
	$this->msg( 'centralauth-block-editing-' . $type, $value )->text()
)
