Thread:Project:Support desk/Problem with the Question mark at the end of URL

Hi, my site http://wecheck.org is a fact check site and each page is a question. For example: Did Mitt Romney ever work as a garbage collector?

http://wecheck.org/wiki/Did_Mitt_Romney_ever_work_as_a_garbage_collector%3F

The problem is that when I paste the URL for the page into most comment boxes the %3F gets stripped and the url becomes invalid. I guess there may be two approaches to fixing it

1. Wiki Answers pages simply don't use the question mark in the URL

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_can_a_kid_learn_computer_programming

It would look strange if the top header text did not have a "?" so they must add it programmatically. Is there an easy way to do this using something like +"?" Although how would it know it was the correct type of page and not apply it to other pages that are not questions? Maybe I could use a pre-built form for the question.

2. Do something with the URL encoding, possibly with mod.rewrite. I am no expert at this so any guidance is most appreciated.

I would really appreciate any help. Thank you for your time
