Please report bugs in the [[wikipedia:PHP script|Wikipedia software]] here. This is not the place to point out mistakes in a Wikipedia article (you can do that by simply editing that article), nor is it the place to request new software features (you can do that at [[wikipedia:Feature_requests|Feature requests]]).

'''This is an archive only of bug reports from Phase II of the Wikipedia software (used before [[June 20]], [[2002]]). Please see [[Wikipedia:Bug reports]] for instructions on adding bug reports for the current system.'''

Add your new report in the proper section, with a '''bold''' title and a date in (yyyy/mm/dd) numeric format.

Make sure that different bugs get different titles.

Or, if your problem is related to a bug already reported, add your description to that bug's section.

If an issue has been resolved, move it over to the "[[wikipedia:Squashed Bugs]]" page. '''PLEASE DO THIS.'''

(2002/1/28 Cosmetic) special: and wikipedia: pages have title "... - encyclopedia article from Wikipedia". They should not be indexed by search engines or should be indexed with a different page title. This is to "brand" "encyclopedia article from wikipedia" as a source of useful information -- [[user:Chato|ChaTo]]

'''April 1 2002: HTML titles'''

This is more a semantic bug than software bug. The software renders every page with the the title "[page name]: encyclopedia article from Wikipedia". The problem is not every page is actually an encyclopedia article. I recommend that the title remain for pages in the article space (except for the front page), and change it for all other namespaces. --[[user:Stephen Gilbert|Stephen Gilbert]]

:How about saying 'X: from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia' for the other pages?
