I still say that there should be a way to claim a page if you do have a handle like that. There have been several suggestions thrown out here regarding that. None of them seem reasonable?

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

It's a matter of what Eddie is willing to devote the time to programming, not necessarily its reasonableness.

I suppose. I'm not exactly well-versed in programming, but could something like that really be that difficult or time-consuming to implement? I realize it's not exactly a priority, especially since the wiki always comes first when it comes to these things, but still.

Okay, I was wondering if there's anything I could do to edit my Troper page which sadly, I haven't been editing my page for weeks or so.

You could create a new account actually titled ThreeOneThreeBluestreak and use it either just for editing the page or make it your main account.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I've tried a couple of times, but I'm still unable to log in with Three One Three Bluestreak.

Remove the spaces.

I'm having a similar issue. It lets me make my edits, and when I look at 'preview' I see my edits, but once I hit 'save' it takes me to my page with nothing changed. Any thoughts about what to do? I'd like to link to my blog/fanfiction...

Wait. I believe that for security reasons, new accounts aren't allowed to post external links for some amount of time. Hopefully, it should resolve itself within a couple of weeks, but I don't know the exact length of time that this lasts.

It won't let me add anything new, though it lets me delete..... I'll keep trying.

Bump...I know we're still having problems with special characters and spaces, wanted to make sure whether this was still an issue or not.

Still an issue. The fact that pages with special characters in the URL don't work well does compound the problems here.

The current thinking is to disallow handles which violate the title rules for pages, so closing this as moot.
