Curious. Re:
The following characters are not allowed in page titles:
# + < > [ ] | { } &
What about myths & legends? That has a &. What does the above mean, then? - Qermaq - (T/C)

- # is an anchor.
- + will not be accepted by MediaWiki. It shows up as nothing in a page title.
- < and > are HTML tag indicators.
- [ and ] are MediaWiki link indicators.
- { and } are MediaWiki template indicators.
- & is currently allowed in titles. — Lapper (talk) 01:12, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- I know this is old, but according to this, You can use a + in page titles. — MichaelXX2

[edit] Underscores in titles
Okay, how come sb_email_22 gets its underscores to show up as underscores—even when it wants one to be a space—and strongbad_email.exe shows it as a space when it wants it to be an underscore? —AbdiViklas 16:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Both titles have the same problem, underscores can't exist in the title either. They can appear in the specific link if your display is set up right, but the title of the article won't display the underscore. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 16:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Abdi: You mean the difference between sb_email_22 and sb email 22/strongbad_email.exe and strongbad email.exe? The articles themselves just have spaces in the titles, but when linking to them, the underscores will show up if they are used in lieu of a space. -- Tom 16:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I was looking at the url in one case and the title in another! —AbdiViklas 17:15, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Abdi: You mean the difference between sb_email_22 and sb email 22/strongbad_email.exe and strongbad email.exe? The articles themselves just have spaces in the titles, but when linking to them, the underscores will show up if they are used in lieu of a space. -- Tom 16:36, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Just thought you might want to know, I changed the display titles using the {{DISPLAYTITLE:correct_title}} thing. I hope that's okay, and are there any other pages that can be changed like that? Unfortunately the category links will probably still have the wrong titles. Ed smildE 19:12, 30 December 2007

[edit] Extra info
HTML stuff like em dahses and middots will appear in a page title. However, I'm not sure if all of them will...— Seriously (Talk) 17:51, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure they will. The list on the project page is considered to be an exhaustive list. — It's dot com 17:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Where is this project page? I've been doing something at the fanstuff wiki that's essentially a list of all of these, so it would be a huge help. — Seriously (Talk) 18:03, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Look at the tabs at the top of the page... What do you see? — It's dot com 18:19, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
