How do you link a wikipedia page that has parenthesis in the URL?: use %29 instead of the last parenthesis: [www.reddit.com]

Found via: [wikipedia link parenthesis]: [www.google.com]

At AP, if you paste in a url that ends in a parenthesis, AP's software puts that parenthesis outside the link it creates, so you see "])", instead of "]", and it doesn't link to your intended target page.

For an example, if you paste the url https[colon]//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideshow_(automobile_exhibition) into AP, it will show up as [en.wikipedia.org]) instead of [en.wikipedia.org].
