1084343 - ":" doesn't work in texts linking to kb articles

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 749835

Description

[Tim [:pollti]]

When I link to a support article like that: [[<article name> | <text>]] and use a ":" in the text, the link doesn't appear as link:

example:
[[Forum Response Mozilla Gear Store FAQ | Mozilla Gear-Shop:Häufig gestellte Fragen]]

leds to:
https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/haeufige-forumsantworten/revision/78545#w_hacufige-themen ➔ "Vorschau der Änderung" ➔ TOC: "Häufige Themen" ➔ last support article

Yeah, we don't support :'s in article titles for the same reason. It conflicts with media wiki syntax where the ":" is significant.

Hi :)
thanks for your fast reply.
Yes, I also thought that first, but then I saw https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-aboutconfig-configure-tabs-your-browser & https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/buddy-program-localization & https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/warnung-nicht-antwortendes-plugin-bedeutung-und-loesungsmoeglichkeit
Should these titles be changed then?
