It's one of those oddities with the wiki's URL parser, which like most of the software doesn't understand Unicode. To handle those URLs, use a shortener like http://tinyurl.com
or try a non-Unicode dependent redirect if Wikipedia has one.
Edit: On the other hand, something is definitely breaking the parser there in YKTTW. Never mind, this is a genuine bug if it's causing HTML entities to screw up on our side. You can still work around it by using tinyurl but it does need to get fixed.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Update: Eddie is aware of the YKTTW parser issue but doesn't have an immediate fix to offer. Use ASCII redirects or tinyurl as a workaround. The wiki software just plain doesn't accept Unicode.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Yes. It is a parser bug. I said that. Eddie does not have the wherewithal to fix it now.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"This has now struck at least one Wordpress link. Here.
I thought I had entered a bad link. Didn't realize it was a known bug.

So whats up with this?
Every time someone links to a wikipedia article with an URL containig non-standard letters in a YKTTW the link ends up as a "enter changes" that redirects to wikipedias Bad title page. It's also impossible to edit replies containing these links.
Sometimes this also messes with the next reply where the edit button, date and the start of that post also links to the Bad title page.(see link 2)
