Hello, I'm a long time lurker and first time poster. If I'm posting this in the wrong section, then please, go easy on me >_<

Basically what I wanna know is, what do you do when you want to link a trope, but there's a dash in the URL, thereby making it a bit hard to link to without the dash cutting off the trope.

Use the override, it should be mentioned in Text-Formatting Rules. Wrap it in {{ brackets, but remember to type it as you want it displayed.

Thanks for your help...I knew about the bracket trick, I just got confused about where to put it tongue

However if you get a URL thats too long the forums put a dash and a space in it like "- " which you have to delete every time you click on it. Pisses me off to no end.

Or you can tiny url it. That solves all the problems at once.
