Hey guys.
There've been some complaints about the forum eating the closing parenthesis when linking pages that have them in their URL.
There are a couple workarounds that aren't quite obvious at first glance, so here are the two I usually use:
Broken: Pasting the URL by itself.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Falling_Skies_(Chronicle) becomes http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Falling_Skies_(Chronicle)
Workaround #1: Putting [url][/url] tags around the whole link.
[url]http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Falling_Skies_(Chronicle)[/url] becomes http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Falling_Skies_(Chronicle) (http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Falling_Skies_(Chronicle))
Workaround #2: Giving the link a label.
[url=http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Falling_Skies_(Chronicle)]Label[/url] becomes Label (http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Falling_Skies_(Chronicle))
Hopefully this is helpful to people. /o\
