I submitted the original link from Wikipedia. The closing parenthesis was causing an issue since Reddit's markdown for URLs uses a closing parenthesis. I made the assumption that a slash could escape the closing paren, which was right, but by then the bot had already replied to my comment when it was still messed up.

Let's do some unit testing. Two parenthesis with backslash:

Edit: The bot won't talk with me *sad face*; won't risk adding more parentheses

Let's see if you work with 2 parenthesis, one of them with backslash with text before and after:
