Summary

The url encoding for exclamation marks for merge request templates is not working. I'm not sure if this affects any other characters

Steps to reproduce

1. attempt to add a description template that has an exclamation mark in the title to a merge request
2. it fails to be added to the description
3. the web console reports a http error 404
4. when opening the url in the error and changing the exclamation mark to '%\21' (without the backslash) the request resolves correctly
