MediaWiki message used in e-mail notification of page deletion

I just received the following e-mail notification about the deletion of a page I was watching (after having nominated it for deletion) at the Hindi Wiktionary:

 प्रिय Dcljr जी,
 
 विक्षनरी पृष्ठ Once received kindly add in
 consolidation को Syum90 ने २६ जुलाई २०१७ को हटा
 दिया है, देखें
 https://hi.wiktionary.org/wiki/Once_received_kindly_add_in_consolidation।
 
 
 सम्पादन सारांश: Not written in this project's
 language: पाठ था: '{{delete|nonsense}} Once received kindly
 add in consolidation'
 
 [...]

The link to https://hi.wiktionary.org/wiki/Once_received_kindly_add_in_consolidation। should not contain the final character, "।", since the page title doesn't end with that character. (IOW, to get to the right page after following the link, you have to "manually" remove the final character from the URL and force a reload.)

I know I've dealt with a similar issue in the past (fixing bad links in e-mail notifications), but back then I just handled it "locally" by requesting that an admin change a system message on the wiki itself, rather than changing it here at TWN — and I don't remember which wiki that was nor which system message needed changing. (This time I'm dealing with it here because I can see that none of the wiki's modified system messages is causing the problem, so it must be the default value that's wrong. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to find the relevant message by searching here. It really doesn't help that I don't read the language...)

Can someone point me to the MediaWiki message that's responsible for forming the bad link shown above?

Well, darn it. I was wrong: I did handle it here.

The relevant message is MediaWiki:Enotif body intro deleted/hi. Now I just need to know how to change it.

I would just insert a space between "$3" and "।" (mirroring my solution the last time), but that may not be grammatically correct in Hindi. How can I separate the two strings without introducing whitespace? Would an <!-- HTML comment --> work?

"Quoting" the URL should work.[1] I don't know whether Hindi makes any use of <>, but it's standard syntax for email.

Ah, yes, of course. Thanks. (I've been waiting to see if the change worked [I assume it will] — annoyingly, no pages I've marked for deletion have actually been deleted in the last 2 weeks.)
