Wikipedia links ending with a parenthesis inserted in the Overview section do not function. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Oceanic_(1899) The last ")" not included in link, as here. But the same link works when inserted in regular emails.

  Its because the character is not a valid character in an URL according to the standard. You have to encode ( as %28 and ) as %29
