The system appears to be trying to italicise the middle of the URL query string?

This is an apparently legal URL to YouTube, but Discourse doesn’t like it much, making it impossible to share any links with two separated underscores in the query string?

There was a similar issue in this topic too Links with multiple dots aren’t linking right
The other workaround in the topic @Moin linked should let the link onebox:

Gah sorry for not using search on this occasion. Feel free to merge with prior reports or delete this Topic.
Appreciate the quick workaround!
