778482 - Link annotation marks existing page as "new" when URL-encoded non-English characters are present

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, defect)

Description

[Les Orchard [:lorchard]]

This doc:
    https://developer-new.mozilla.org/fr/docs/CSS/widows

Uses this template:
    {{ Xref_cssinherited() }} 

Which contains this link:
    <a href="/fr/docs/CSS/H%c3%a9ritage">Héritée</a>

And that link is incorrectly annotated with class="new" by Kuma, though page does indeed exist:
    https://developer-new.mozilla.org/fr/docs/CSS/H%C3%A9ritage

The reason, I'd guess, is because "CSS/H%C3%A9ritage" is used as-is in the DB query. Instead, this should be decoded from the URL as a UTF-8 string like "CSS/Héritage" and then *that* should be used in the DB query for doc existence check
