Issue Summary
When page titles start with a dot (.) character, these pages cannot be navigated to using a link as it would result in a 404 error in the browser:

Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new blank Confluence page
- Set the first character of the title as a dot character, for example ".test"
- Add dummy content and publish the page
- Copy the page's URL and paste it on a new tab or simply refresh the newly published page
Expected Results
The link should take the user to the page
Actual Results
The link goes to a 404 page and the only way to get to the page is by removing the title completely from the URL
Workaround
- Avoid using a dot character as the first character in a page's title
- Or remove the title part from the page's URL for example:
