Special characters in portlets links?

Maybe I'm just missing something, but when I try to create a link to say "Special:Contributions/$PAGENAME$" and then click on it, it gets URL encoded and doesn't work as it will turn the / into a "Special:Contributions/User%253ARaladic" Is there any way to work around that?

@Raladic Looks like the result of "$PAGENAME$" was being URL encoded twice. I've updated the script so it is not URL encoded when used as part of a page title. Hope that helps! – BrandonXLF (talk) 08:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks :) Raladic (talk) 16:30, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
