Forum:Space After Colon

How do you force a space after a colon in an article name on Wikia? The MediaWiki software seems to always interpret the words before the colon as a namespace and then strip the space after the colon. See for example Mortal Kombat:Deception. The software won't seem to allow that article to be moved from "Mortal Kombat:Deception" to "Mortal Kombat: Deception", with a space after the colon. —WikiaCitizen (reply) 22:25, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I tried it and failed as well. Interesting problem. Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 22:42, December 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * The software doesn't always remove spaces after colons. For example, there are no problems with w:c:fallout:Fallout: New Vegas. The reason why it's removing the space for the title you're trying to enter at your wiki is simple: "Mortal Kombat" actually is a namespace there, it's the name of your wiki's "Project" namespace. -- Porter21 (talk) 23:40, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
