Why can't I embed this link in an answer

Hi,

I would sometimes like to include the following link to an Ifixit discussion sheet regarding the myths of rice and water damage in electronics when I answer a question regarding water damage to phones. However when I copy and paste its' URL in my answer it firstly shows up in red not in blue like other links do and when you click on it in the answer it doesn't lead to the correct page.

Here is the link.

https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Don%27t_Put_......

but it doesn't lead to this

Hey Jayeff,

It looks like our markup text parser is missing the trailing ellipses in that URL. A temporary workaround would be to link to the wiki like this:

[https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Don%27t_Put_Your_Device_in_Rice._Here%27s_Why...|Don't Put Your Device in Rice. Here's  Why].

Alternatively, since this is a link to a wiki on our site, you can use a wiki link like this:

[[Don't Put Your Device in Rice. Here's Why...]]

Both those options will appear like this: Don't Put Your Device in Rice. Here's Why.

I'll pass this along to the dev team to see about a more permanent fix. Thanks for the heads up!
