  • # is an anchor.
  • + will not be accepted by MediaWiki. It shows up as nothing in a page title.
  • < and > are HTML tag indicators.
  • [ and ] are MediaWiki link indicators.
  • { and } are MediaWiki template indicators.
  • & is currently allowed in titles. — Lapper (talk) 01:12, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, how come sb_email 22 gets its underscores to show up as underscores—even when it wants one to be a space—and strongbad_email.exe shows it as a space when it wants it to be an underscore? —AbdiViklas 16:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
