See thread on main dokuwiki GitHub. I am using page buttons to create pages inside my instance of dokuwiki.

Disclaimer: I have never used this plugin myself.

dokuwiki-plugin-pagebuttons/script.js

Lines 141 to 142 in b8e3cec

	var submit_url = pre_url + urlSeparator + page + "&do=edit";
	window.location.href = submit_url;

and

dokuwiki-plugin-pagebuttons/script.js

Lines 163 to 164 in b8e3cec

	var submit_url = pre_url + urlSeparator + newpage + "&do=edit";
	window.location.href = submit_url

show that an URL is constructed that contains the literal string of the page name that the user entered, including spaces or other special characters and then the browser is instructed to redirect to that URL. Since spaces are illegal in URLs they are converted to %20 by the browser.

This does not seem to have changed and there seems no relation to the DokuWiki "Kaos" release. This was always broken.

In order to respect DokuWiki's sepchar setting, and potentially other code in DokuWiki used to convert user input to page IDs, there would need to be major changes made to this plugin.
