I'm guessing you have a URL pattern in urls.py that looks something like this (to use your example):

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^wiki/Sacramentum_(oath)/', my_view),
)

This won't match, because parentheses have a special meaning in regular expressions. You need to escape them with backslashes:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^wiki/Sacramentum_\(oath\)/', my_view),
)
