wiki page names should be less restricted

[ThurnerRupert]

while pasting this to the browser url:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/asdf/ asd%ç+"*%

creates a new page in mediawiki with this name trac wiki gives an error.

also i have difficulties to write this as valid link into a wiki page, see here, which is written as

['http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/asdf/ asd%ç+"*%' here]

in an attempt to quote it.

The spaces and several other characters in that URL need to be escaped:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/asdf/%20asd%%C3%A7+%22*% here]

Regarding the first part about creating pages in MediaWiki I don't see the problem. That Wikipedia URL actually causes a "400 Bad Request" error for me while in Trac using the same /wiki URL shows the expected "Describe asdf/ asd%ç+"*% here." for the missing page and in my test setup the page was created normally.

Well, I don't think it's a good idea to make it easier to create Wiki page names with "random" characters like in your example, but if the intent was better support for unicode characters, then yes, that's OK, and the ticket is rather #230 as you pointed out.

I'm closing this particular one as wontfix but maybe I didn't correctly understand the intend; feel free to follow-up on your particular needs in #230.
