When attempting to link to Wikipedia via [[Wikipedia:ARTICLE NAME]], spaces are substituted with hyphens. As a result, the Wikipedia page is inaccessible.
Example: https://www.wikihow.com/index.php?title=Sandbox&oldid=24758005

Thanks Bat - I guess this is probably because we use hyphens instead of underscores for links in our implementation of MW. I haven’t done much testing but I think you can get around this, if you really want to link this way, by typing [[Wikipedia:ARTICLE_NAME]]. That being said, really our best practices are to stick to <ref> tags for references, with full URLS in there, so that’s what I’d advocate doing most of the time
