HRWiki talk:YouTube underscore issues

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Reason

What is the relevance of this page? I just don't understand why the underscores are important. Someone please explain. I R F 18:25, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Note that ingeneral, we can use internal links to get to youtube videos ([[youtube:somevideoid]]) however, mediawiki filters out underscores as described, the result being that, for example, [[youtube:_Z-C8NU3SVM]] produces an invalid link. — Defender1031*Talk 18:31, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Furthermore, we are keeping track of these IDs so that if a fix does appear in the future, the links listed can be changed. wbwolf (t | ed) 20:48, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Other websites

There are issues with other interwiki links as well. Strong Bad replied to a Twitter user whose name started with an underscore, and the link didn't work when I tried to add it to User:Purple Wrench/sandbox. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 03:13, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
