Help:Title restrictions

Some article titles cannot be named correctly due to software limitations. However, there is a way to fix this problem.

Restrictions on Naming

The MediaWiki software is configured to transform the first letter to uppercase, so no page title can start with a lowercase letter. The MediaWiki software also makes no distinction between underscores and spaces in page titles, so underscores will display as spaces.

The character / is allowed in titles but is impossible to link to from a namespace that supports subpages if it is the first character of the title. The following characters are not allowed in page titles at all:

# + < > [ ] | { } &

Fixing the Title

However, it can seem to be correct by simply using {{DISPLAYTITLE:Page name here}}. For example, the E-Reader page is displayed with a capital E, but {{DISPLAYTITLE:e-Reader}} changes it to a lowercase e. This can also be used to put normally restricted characters in page titles.
