[rowiki] Quotes at the end of the title of an article cause a syntax error of the internet address
Open, LowPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Description
Impossible to copy/paste correctly a Wikipedia article internet address, whose title ends with a Romanian quotation mark, on a Safari web browser used on Iphone.
The last quotation mark disappears (it is probably misinterpreted). The problem is the same for ALL articles whose names end with a Romanian quotation mark. When the quotation marks are in the middle of the title, the problem does not occur.
Examples: [[:ro:Teatrul Național de Operetă și Musical „Ion Dacian”]] ; [[:ro:Sala Sporturilor „Lascăr Pană”]] or [[:ro:Teatrul de revistă „Constantin Tănase”]].

The results obtained: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sala_Sporturilor_%E2%80%9ELasc%C4%83r_Pan%C4%83 or https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teatrul_de_revist%C4%83_%E2%80%9EConstantin_T%C4%83nase

I tried to rename the title by removing the quotation marks (the title does not contain quotation marks in the French or English versions of Wikipedia), but a specific rule of Romanian Wikipedia requires them to be kept:
https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Titluri_de_articole#Articole_despre_institu%C8%9Bii

So I Created an alias to circumvent the issue. The alias can be use for those using Safari but it is only a workaround, and it means to create an alias for each RO article in this situation.

Wikipedia version
I have stated this behavior on the Romanian Wikipedia (ro.wikipedia.org)

What should have happened instead?:
The Wikipedia article address should be copied correctly and paste properly on Safari browser too

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Safari (any version I suppose) on iPhone.
No issue on Chrome, Chromium or Firefox (on Iphone).

@Albacore60 can you provide more details on how do you copy? What page are you on? Do you copy the address from the address bar or from a hyperlink in the page?

Gemini suggest that sometimes Safari can convert simple quotes to curly ones: To disable on iPhone/iPad: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard and turn off "Smart Punctuation".
