Board Thread:Support Requests - Getting Technical/@comment-5454372-20130821210553

Hi,

First off, I'm no longer an admin on the wiki where I'm posting this from, but I'm wondering if anyone has an answer or technical explanation for what happened here:

http://starwarfare.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Kman0208:PVP_in_single_player_mode%3F

Put shortly, a common issue we experience on the Star Warfare Wiki is that some users create a main page for what would be more suitable as a personal blog page. We've previously had no problem having admins rename a page so that it is moved into the original creator's blog space, but a typo resulted in the wiki generating the above result: a user with a name strongly resembling what should be the URL for a blog page.

The typo that caused it was that a colon was used instead of a forward slash after the username. We have since tried correcting that typo, but it still seems to lead to the same result (as seen below):

http://starwarfare.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Kman0208/PVP_in_single_player_mode%3F

At any rate...does anyone know of a way to fix this, or at least have a technical explanation on how the wiki's somehow misreading the "User blog" prefix as a "User" page?

Otherwise, yay -- we broke Wikia!! o____O
