Bug with disambiguation page reached from search option
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When trying to pick a specific topic from a list of Wikipedia pages with the same title, instead of the selected page, the page of the top option opens.
This affects hyperlinks in other Wikipedia articles, so if a hyperlink is for an article with a title shared with other pages, and the desired page is not listed as the top option among disambiguations, an incorrect article will open instead.

Able to repro exactly as in video. All links on "What is life?" disambiguation page link to the george harrison song page.

This is not an issue with the disambiguation page but with the encoding on pages with ? on the title (see T321064, T261027). We currently have a volunteer PR open for this issue https://github.com/wikimedia/wikipedia-ios/pull/4444, so I'm moving it to blocked/waiting until it is merged.
