+`params` passed in `getStaticPaths` are no longer automatically decoded.
+
+### [changed]: `params` aren't decoded anymore.
+In Astro v4.x, `params` in ` were automatically decoded using `decodeURIComponent`. 
+
+Astro v5.0 doesn't automatically decode `params` in `getStaticPaths` anymore, so you'll need to manually decode them yourself if needed
+
+#### What should I do?
+If you were relying on the automatic decode, you'll need to manually decode it using `decodeURI`.
+
+Note that the use of [`decodeURIComponent`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/decodeURIComponent)) is discouraged for `getStaticPaths` because it decodes more characters than it should, for example `/`, `?`, `#` and more.

+export function getStaticPaths() {

++    { params: { id: decodeURI("%5Bpage%5D") } },
+-    { params: { id: "%5Bpage%5D" } },
+  ]
+}

+const { id } = Astro.params;
