Period = posting probs

Why do some Wikipedia page URLs include a period at the end of the URL? This is not standard, and causes pages to not post (when a URL is copied 'n' pasted) on Facebook, among other things. 50.54.231.229 (talk) 17:33, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The answer to why is: because the article title includes the period, and the url is always just a lightly-encoded version of the title. But I added a redirect from the version without the period so that those other sites can still link to here even when they strip off the period. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:53, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Can you please supply sources? It would be good to add this to the article, but we can't do it unless we can document it. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:01, 12 March 2009 (UTC)~~ Never mind, it's there now. Thanks for finding and adding this! —David Eppstein (talk) 01:08, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
