This might be true perhaps; but the crux of the matter is that I shouldn’t do more than the traditional human-oriented escaping of the addresses, which relies extensively on plain and friendly backslashes, instead of devilish and time-consuming machine-produced percent-codes.

Remarkably, apparently either the server or the client replace backslashes in Markdown links with forward slashes, which is completely bogus and nonsensical.
The correct link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racetrack_(game)
Also interesting that you’re the first person to raise this issue after two hours and ten upvotes.
There’s a pen-and-paper game called Racetrack, in which people can move a certain amount according to acceleration/braking, turning and inertia. It simulates the physics of actual racing remarkably well, better than many video games. There are both web and mobile implementations of the game.


I’m happy to report that Wikipedia seems to have dropped the ‘m.’ prefix, and finally detects the device capabilities instead.
