           Summary: Doesn't handle links &with=these&in=it, but says that it
                    can
           Product: CSSValidator
           Version: CSS Validator
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: main pages/translations
        AssignedTo: ot@w3.org
        ReportedBy: t36l8pi02@sneakemail.com
         QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org


This link works:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fw%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DMediaWiki%3ACommon.css%26action%3Draw%26ctype%3Dtext%2Fcss&usermedium=all

On that page, it says that you can also access it via this link:

"
If you would like to create a link to this page (i.e., this validation result)
to make it easier to re-validate this page in the future or to allow others to
validate your page, the URI is:
         
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css
"

But that link doesn't work because the ampersand things are treated as part of
the w3.org URL (and ignored) instead of the wikipedia URL.  The CSS validator
ignores them and gives you the results for:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css

, which is not a CSS document.

It should not give you links that won't work.
