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? —[[User:AbdiViklas|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. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

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) Image:Qermaqsigpic.png 18:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

  • # 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)

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)
