Looks like a glitch in the URL-rewriting configuration -- the full
expanded form works fine:

http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Looney_Tunes_%26_Merrie_Melodies_filmography

(This was previously hidden by another bug which produced an incorrectly
escaped URL.) I'll bang it into place.

Got it. Annoyingly enough, the internal url-encoding function seems to
encode everything _but_ ampersands, so I had to write a quickie external
filter. Sheesh.
