This link [1] gets me the following every time: Jpatokal 05:36, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in

So does [2]. It appears that en:Malacca_ৠstateৡ does not exist. -- Huttite 06:43, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

But this works: http://wikitravel.org/en/Malacca_%28state%29. The link above is directly from the Recent changes page...? Jpatokal 06:47, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

When I look at recent changes I get [3], which doesn't have the %2528 and %2529 characters and instead give %28 and %29 for ( and ). Could this be a browser related setting? -- Huttite 06:57, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)

No, it's silly code in MediaWiki. It has URL-encoded "(" and ")" twice -- once to make "%28" and "%29", another time to make "%2528" and "%2529". "%25" is the URL code for "%". Anywho, there's some code somewhere in Mediawiki that reverses the error, but my code was messing it up. I moved my code out of the way, and it seems to work fine now. --Evan 12:36, 22 Jan 2006 (EST)
