Description

To increase readability and conformance to RFC for Wikipedia links they should be treated specially, like for example ASIN URLs now are.

Only language and article title part should be displayed in link text (like "en: Artist name"), with all %-escaped characters automatically decoded and conversely href for that link should have all non-safe and non-ASCII characters automatically %-encoded.

Only part that deals with converting %-encoding on display is implemented. Characters that are stored as Unicode in link are still not converted to %-escaped form for href attribute.

I would like to express my interest getting this fixed. It is a pain to reuse MusicBrainz data when the URLs are in an inconsistent state - the URLs should be being stored as escaped 7-bit characters in the database - there is currently a mixture of escaped and unescaped utf8.

Some examples of escaped:
