Thanks! OutOfSpace eats a chocolate cookie... --Outofspace 16:28, 30 May 2008 (CDT)

Nice cleanup on MDB's spam page. That will be helpful. Mindraker 18:10, 29 June 2008 (CDT)

I do what I can Darkzero

OutOfSpace: Some of the names of the things I want to create start with a pound sign (#), such as "# Sounds", and I can't create a page with a name that starts with that symbol. What should I do? Thanks Mindraker 15:06, 5 July 2008 (CDT)

Never mind, I'll hazard a guess on this one. Mindraker 15:15, 5 July 2008 (CDT)

I'm doing some research on it. I don't think MediaWiki (or this version at least) supports it. ⇒OutOfSpace

Well, it's "number", as in "Number of sounds" so for the moment, I'll use the word "number", and I can always go back and fix it. Mindraker 15:20, 5 July 2008 (CDT)

That'll work. When adding a "#" symbol into the title of something, MediaWiki thinks it's redirecting to a section. So, this could be why it wont work.

I had a similar problem with "Ambient + Unshadowed"... wiki thought the "+" was the logical "AND". So, I just made the page "Ambient and Unshadowed". Mindraker 15:35, 5 July 2008 (CDT)

[1] This is interesting. The article is Plus and Minus signs. While searching through wikipedia though, it's listed as "+". So, I'm assuming that you could use symobls such as "%2B" to create these pages. A Google search result should give a list of these.

Thanks for looking that up! It seems like this wiki doesn't have all the snazziness that wikipedia has, yet. I tried the %2B trick, and I think it still interpreted it as the "+" (AND) operator. For the moment, I'll leave it as it is, that page is pretty much blank and more of a placeholder. If we get to the point of editing that page and feeling like really renaming it, we can bug MrDoomBringer about changing the wiki function. Mindraker 05:57, 6 July 2008 (CDT)

Although this wiki isn't perfect, it is "functional". Yes, we certainly could use the bots, spam protection, and other niceties. The more we get into it, the more we would probably like the upgrade (and so would MDB). However, for the moment, as long as we can "work around" the problems, I agree, that is probably not very high on the "To Do" list for Roblox. Mindraker 13:41, 6 July 2008 (CDT)
