Template:Wrongname/doc

This template 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 2 entertain. The proper spelling of the name involves a pipe (2|entertain, which is not an allowed character in MediaWiki page names.

Usage

To use, simply place the following at the top of the page:

{{wrongname
|workaround=
}}

The variable, workaround allows the user to enter a way to represent the name properly. This generally involves using a tiny template to allow for the proper inclusion of a special character. In the case of 2 entertain, the pipe is rendered using Template:!, thus making the value of workaround: 2{{!}}entertain

Future development

Though at present this template is really only necessary on this wiki for the one page, it's possible that there may be other cases where it will be necessary to use this template, and to create new templates like template:! to allow for the proper rendering of a name.

The following symbols cannot be used in a page title, and would thus require this template, should they be used in the proper spelling/punctuation of a topic's name:

• # - workaround Template:pound (also redirected through Template:hash, for Br. Eng. speakers)
• < - workaround Template:bracketed
• > - workaround Template:bracketed
• [ - workaround Template:bracketed
• ] - workaround Template:bracketed
• | - workaround Template:!
• { - workaround Template:bracketed
• } - workaround Template:bracketed

Sample output

Software limitations prevent us from representing the proper styling of this title, {{{workaround}}}. See here for more details.
