<p dir="auto">Actually what I said about forward slashes is not entirely true. What's true:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>They are valid characters in paths.</li>
<li>Wikipedia even internally doesn't escape them. Example: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2634817058" rel="nofollow">https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2634817058</a> -> look at a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sculptures_by_Tony_Smith" rel="nofollow">list of sculptures often with <code class="notranslate">/</code> in their names</a>. In the page source you'll see <code class="notranslate"><a href="/wiki/Moondog_(3/3)" title="Moondog (3/3)"><i>Moondog</i> (3/3)</a></code>.</li>
<li>But that wouldn't work if the name contains <code class="notranslate">/../</code>. Browsers will go up one path segment and remove part of the name. I don't know if such names are allowed on Wikipedia. Maybe they are not, then they don't have to escape <code class="notranslate">/</code>.</li>
</ul>
