Yes, I mean that URLs of the pages in the wiki. I don't care which one
is actually used in the final URL. "_" may be prettier than "%20", but
the problem is that external links used "%20" (as you have noticed).
We can fix our links in our own webpages but we cannot fix those out
in the wild. So yes, the lack of automatic redirect from the pages
with spaces to the ones with underscores is the real problem. Creating
new pages with spaces that redirect to the ones with underscores is a
possible workaround but it is a tedious task.
