Mastodon: Mastodon removes final dot at the end of my link

[MyNameIsTroll]

When I paste a link with a (dot) at the end of the link, when I click on my link mastodon remove the (dot) and do not redirect me to the right page.

Example, I put this link: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministère_A.M.E.R.
mastodon shows me the full link in the toot but when I click on the link, mastodon sends me back to a fake page because it removes the final point of my link.

EDIT: It's the same on github >_<'.

You can use url tag on github "text" :
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minist%C3%A8re_A.M.E.R.

You'll have to url-encode your link to get the right output:

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minist%C3%A8re_A%2EM%2EE%2ER%2E

see:

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minist%C3%A8re_A%2EM%2EE%2ER%2E

This rule was imported from Twitter, and it's intended to avoid capturing final dot on the end of sentences, like "You can see an example page on http://example.com/test."

Another workaround is appending # to the end of the URL:

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministère_A.M.E.R.#
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministère_A.M.E.R.#

and looks like wrapping with < and > also works on Github, but this won't work on Mastodon:

<https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministère_A.M.E.R.>
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministère_A.M.E.R.
