In order to get these to display unescaped, without an unsightly (i.m.o.) %20
(or similar) in them, it seems the only option is to use the [1]
and [1]:
structure (Like in http://meta.unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1403/search-comments-from-other-commentors-on-question-answers-you-authored-or-hav), which I feel creates unnecessary overhead for more people than a change to the URLs that SE control, that could be made:
- Swapping the spaces out for
_
's - Using the SE sub-site's sub-domain name instead (i.e.,
http://data.stackexchange.com/diy/queries
) instead - Removing the spaces, like
http://data.stackexchange.com/theoreticalcomputerscience/queries
and all but one :s of the meta http://data.stackexchange.com sections
What does the community think?
Also, some sub thoughts:
- Perhaps having the metas indented under their respective sites. They might be easier to find, if nothing else.
- Not sure why http://data.stackexchange.com/mathematica%20meta/queries has a space, while other metas don't
- Not sure why http://data.stackexchange.com/christianity%20stack%20exchange/queries or http://data.stackexchange.com/christianity%20meta%20stack%20exchange/queries has Stack Exchange suffixed to it
