'''{{PAGENAME}}''' should be placed at the top of articles whose names cannot be represented on this wikia due to limitations of the MediaWiki software.  A prime example is the article on [[Project Lazarus (audio story)|Project Lazarus]].  The proper spelling of the name involves a colon after "Project" — '''[[Project Lazarus (audio story)|Project: Lazarus]]''' — but "Project:" is always converted to "Tardis:" on this wiki.  If you tried to link to "Project: Lazarus", the system would therefore try to link to a page called "Lazarus" in the Tardis: [[namespace]].  Thus we have to title the article ''without'' the colon.
== Usage ==
To use, simply place the following at the '''top''' of the page:
<pre>
{{wrongname|workaround=}}

in certain circumstances, an additional variable may be needed:

{{wrongname|workaround=|title=}}
</pre>
The variable, '''''workaround''''', allows the user to enter a way to represent the name properly.  

To remove the instructions for {{tlx|cs}}, include <code>cs=n</code>.

=== Most cases ===
In most cases, characters not permitted in page titles can nevertheless be typed directly into '''''workaround'''''.   So, to represent "Man #2" — a fairly widespread usage in the end credits of [[Doctor Who Universe|DWU]] credits — one would title the page [[Man 2 (episode name)]], and then add this template to the top of it, like this: 
<pre>
{{wrongname|workaround=Man #2 (episode name)}}
</pre>

All the following characters can be used in the same fashion as the pound/hash mark seen above:
* <nowiki>#</nowiki>   
* <  
* >  
* [  
* ]  
* {  
* }
=== Use with pipes ({{!}}) ===
Pipes are special symbols that usually do not print.  They also have special meaning with respect to page titles.  Therefore, they require a slightly more elaborate use of this template.  So far, the only real example of a pipe in a topic's title on this wiki is [[2 entertain]].  Thus we shall look at it as a model of how to handle the pipe case.   

The only way to get the pipe to render is to use [[:Template:!]].  However, because 2|entertain requires this additional ''template'', it also requires an additional ''variable'' to be used with [[:template:wrongname]].  Thus, the full markup '''for use on a page that requires a pipe character''' follows this pattern:
::::'''<nowiki>
{{</nowiki>wrongname<br />|workaround=2<nowiki><nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki></nowiki>entertain<br />|title=2<nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki>entertain}}

In this instance, '''''workaround''''' requires '''nowiki''' codes in order to actually show the <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki> markup, while '''''title''''' '''does not''' include '''nowiki''' codes, in order to show the title properly rendered with wiki code.

== Sample output ==
{{wrongname|workaround=Project: Lazarus}}Note in the sample output at right that the template ''defaults'' to using '''''workaround''''' in two places. If '''''title''''' is defined, then it will replace the first instance of '''''workaround'''''.

== Template classification ==
This template is '''intentionally''' misclassified as "non-article" for technical reasons.
