Question mark problem?

There appears to be a problem with this template: in Shotgun I tried to update the former to the latter:

• The TootsieToy Dakota, via the Wayback Machine
• [{{{3}}} archive.org] (archived 🗺)

Might this be caused by the question mark in the URL (which I don't recall in any other archive.org links I recently fixed)?

And another one:

• A discussion of thingrunning (with demos) on the Compet-N web site (archived)
• [{{{3}}} archive.org] (archived 🗺) at Compet-N

Apparently it's the equals signs that must be encoded:

• A discussion of thingrunning (with demos) (archived 🏛) at Compet-N

In theory this can happen whenever a URL is an unnamed parameter, but that's very rare here, because we create link templates to avoid typing full URLs.  :>    Ryan W (talk) 23:40, 10 February 2016 (CST)

Ah, thanks. I tried encoding the question mark but then gave up (too soon). --Xymph (talk) 02:41, 11 February 2016 (CST)

One may also use Template:= as in, {{=}} => =
