What to do re. posting the following Wikipedia/women's rights/ in Saudi Arabia link in Fluther?

When I hover over the links (both) there’s the number 25 in front of 27.
I don’t know how they got there, but if removed
(the number 25) the links go to the appropriate page on Wikipedia.

@rebbel When I hover I also see 25 ibut how do you remove it since it’s not in the url in my detail?

I am afraid (don’t know for sure though) that it is too late to change it.
About it not being in the url: it might not be in the title of the link (which in your case is the url itself, but could have been, say, “Women’s Rights in Saudi Arabia”), but it possibly/probably is in the url that is used to direct one to the page (here flutherdotcom link:http://www.fluther.com)

I have to cheat

@rebbel I was thinking from the correct page Women’s Rights in Saudi Arabia in Wikipedia I highlight the address bar, there is no 25 to remove. The only place I see the 25 before 27 is in the product of the hovering (at the bottom of the screen) which of course disappears when curser is moved from link. So how do you remove the 25 before posting the link in the future?

Test 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia (failure)

Test 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia (success)

Test 3 (success)

If you just want to post the link, use the actual apostrophe (’) instead of the percent code (%27). This is because the percent code for the % symbol is %25, so your browser reads “Women%27s_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia” as “Women%2527s_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia” (which is not an actual Wikipedia URL). But when I did Test 3, I had to use the percent code because the apostrophe breaks Fluther’s special link formatting.

@SavoirFaire Re. _“use the actual apostrophe (’”) instead of the percent code (%27).
I typed exactly “Women’s right in Saudi Arabia” on Google. I never typed in 25 or the % key or 27.
But the Google search result I clicked on had already %27 in it. I kept removing that,
Now I used the browser only, instead of via Google search and it works.

Thanks @rebbel and @SavoirFaire.

Anytime.

@flo Typing in Google is not the same as posting a link. Search engines are designed to parse ordinary language, but links have to use the specific syntax understood by websites and browsers. Some sites automatically parse punctuation, but others don’t. That’s why you sometimes have to use the percent codes but sometimes don’t have to use them.

Re. my last post I meant that I used just posting the search terms in the address bar, and it works not the browser, since even when using search engines we’re using Gogle or whichever browser.
