Forum:Musictheory Wiki- page naming problems

Okay, so I'm trying to create a page for the G# Minor Scale as a redirect for the B Major Scale, but every time, "G# Minor Scale" goes to "G". How do I fix this? --Thenewguy34 11:12, May 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * I do not think you can. The # symbol in page titles means "sub-header". So "G# Minor Scale" Looks for the ==Minor Scale== sub-header on the "G" page. You may have to resort to naming the page "G Sharp Minor Scale" instead. Rappy 17:45, May 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Per Rappy, # is an illegal character for a page name. However, you should be able to use ♯ instead. For example, see C♯. — Mathmagician 18:03, May 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * IMO, ♯ is more difficult to use to get to the same page. Wikiapedia uses G-sharp for the name of their page. As I mentioned above, the best option may be to simply spell it out. Rappy 18:38, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
