Help:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)

From the Super Mario Wiki

Some article titles cannot be named correctly due to software limitations.

Before the opening paragraph of the article, insert {{Template:wrongtitle|correct title}}. This will produce the following text:

The title given to this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is (correct title).

For a list of articles that are subject to these limitations, see Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Wrongtitle.

[edit] Excluded characters

The following characters are not allowed in page titles:

# + < > [ ] | { } &

The following character is allowed but is impossible to link to from a namespace that supports subpages if it is the first character of the title:

/

The MediaWiki software also makes no distinction between underscores and spaces in page titles, so underscores will display as spaces.

[edit] Lowercase first letter

The MediaWiki software is configured to transform the first letter to uppercase, so no page title can start with a lowercase letter. However, attatching {{lowercase}} at the head of the article will display the title in all lowercase letters.
