Line 15: ::Does the link to your new page have <b>bold tags</b> (<b>) in it? Knowing exactly which pages you're talking about would be a great help. -- [[user:Brion VIBBER\|Brion VIBBER]] <i>sorry Brion -- you mighe want to check the recent changes, but the ones I can think of off the top of my head are Gustavus Adolphus (AKA BGustavus Adolphus/b) and BMaximilian I/b holy Roman Emperor -- I viewed the source, and for some reason there are complete HTML tags in the code -- these appear as I've just described on the page titles. David Parker and I think Lars have re-created the pages (namespaces?) properly by adding the correct title (with underscores in the spaces) after '/' in the navigation bar.</i> [[JHK]] :Okay, my ''guess'' at what's going on is that someone created the page from a link that turned up in the search page. The search page is horribly buggy and, among other mortal sins, puts bold tags around located search terms before the page extracts are wiki-interpreted, thus creating links with bold tags in them. Previously, the tags would actually slip into the page title, sometimes unnoticed. Now, the < and > are stripped out, the B and /B are clearly visible, and it ''should'' be noticible to the person editing the page. In the short term, please read the title when you're editing a new page! If it looks completely wrong, start over. The search page is being rewritten, so this can be fixed in the process... [[user:Brion VIBBER\|Brion VIBBER]] This isn't good. Checking now to see if it works if i remove all content first... Nope -- still happens -- Creates a new page which comes up correctly under search (where the bolded part shows bold), but the tags remain in the actual page title. :I'm not sure I follow. If I go to [[Bgustav/bus Adolphus of Sweden]], I get redirected to [[Gustavus Adoplus of Sweden]] and everything looks fine. The messed-up title appears only in the URL bar, because when you follow a redirect you get the new page with the old URL. If I'm looking at the wrong thing, let me know. 2002/2/10 [[user:Brion VIBBER\|Brion VIBBER]] Also tried logging out, but the system won't log me out because of the cookie thing. Advice would be nice! [[JHK]] :We're working on it. :( '''Edits when not logged in are considered "minor"?''' This, in my mind, is a horrible idea. I hope that's a bug, not a feature. [[user:Koyaanis Qatsi\|Koyaanis Qatsi]] ::Ack! That's the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do. Expect this to be fixed sometime soon... [[user:Brion VIBBER\|Brion VIBBER]] 2002/2/10 '''Most Wanted''' 2002-02-10 Line 98 ⟶ 104: I've noticed that "Orphans" gets confused by whether a title contains spaces or underscores between its words. If an article is created with underscores, but all the links to it have spaces, then it is listed as an orphan. I've noticed that in the URLs, the strings "%20", "_", and "+" can be used interchangably. "Orphans" should be updated to treat all three the same.
