{{Wrongtitle|title}} Category:Articles with unsupported titles Pages that don't fit into the subcategories

Unusual Page Titles/Problems[edit]

Mu operator, Pi, etc.
Starts with a lowercase Greek letter. There isn't much need to treat lowercase Greek letters the same way as Latin letters, but the wiki does so anyway.
3 (Soulfly album)
The correct title can be, and is used. However, the character isn't widely supported, and isn't well known as the album's title in English.
Apple IIGS
The name uses small charcters, not subscript
Wumpscut:
Is this really a Template:Namespace problem, or are the instructions just incorrect?
Alpha¹ Capricorni, etc.
Superscript generally isn't allowed, but ¹,²,³ are exceptions because of better support


Standardized Edit Summaries[edit]

  • changed unsupported title template
  • superscript ¹,²,³ allowed, per [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)#Subscripts and superscripts|naming conventions]]
