GitLab wiki page title with special character issue.
Finding:
- GitLab Community Edition 10.8.7 able to show wiki Page content of "Noob version)"
Solutions:
- Upgrade to GitLab that can edit the page, but I didn't log down which version.
- Open the Wiki Page, and remove those characters.
- Then you can clone the wiki page to your local.
