Bug: links that include issue titles etc are broken when clicked from outside of gitlab

Summary

Issue links with + or +s appended do not work.

Steps to reproduce

Attempt to go to a link with + or +s appended, it won't work.

What is the current bug behavior?

We perform our internal company project standups via IRC, after which the standup notes are posted into a gitlab wiki.

Some projects are make use of the + and +s formats for making the rendered standup notes more readable in the wiki by automatically showing the title / summary in place of the link text.

However, when these links are clicked outside of gitlab (for example in IRC), they go to a 404 page.

Taking the current issue as an example :

• this link: Bug: links that include issue titles etc are br... (#428295 - closed) • Ayush Jhawar • Backlog will render then work fine
• copy-pasting this link: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/428295+s into your browser will fail

While I think this is is largely a mismatch of expectations of how these notes will be consumed between engineers and project management, it should be an easy fix gitlab-side to allow both to work.

What is the expected correct behavior?

When a link to an issue with + or +s on the end is received by gitlab, it should chop these off the end and go directly to the issue.
