Incorrect autocompetion for hash wikilinks with percent sign

Bug graveyard
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a note with a heading in it, which includes a percent sign, such as ## the 30% rule.
  2. In the same note, type [[# to trigger the autocompleter for a hash link.
  3. Choose the 30% rule heading from the suggestions.

Expected result

[[#the 30% rule]] should be inserted into the document.

Actual result

[[#the 30 rule]] gets inserted, with the percent sign missing.

Interestingly though the link works when clicked, despite having an incomplete hash value.

This is not a bug. Links are sanitized.

Thank you for the quick reply @WhiteNoise! The help only mentions the removal of <script> tags, so I wasn’t suspecting security reasons here.

What is the rationale behind this? The autocompeter sanitizes the heading content, but I can manually go back and reinsert the percent signs (or periods etc.) into my links.
