Just to pull the Python post over here for visibility:

> When I click the flag icon under a post, a dialog pops up and the “our [community guidelines](https://meta.discourse.org/guidelines)” link doesn’t work. Tapping it doesn’t do anything, and when I open it in another tab, I get a “400 Bad Request” error page. Example URL: [https://discuss.python.org/t/my-code-as-a-for-loop-that-dont-work/%{base\_path}/guidelines](https://discuss.python.org/t/my-code-as-a-for-loop-that-dont-work/%25%7Bbase_path%7D/guidelines)

I can repro the issue with ‘[community guidelines](https://meta.discourse.org/guidelines)’ here on meta as well. I’ll slip this over to #Contribute > Bug. 👍
