A problem has arisen on the en: pedia, where some templates have a leading colon on their name. They show up in special:allpages, but administrators cannot figure out how to delete, move, or even view the logs. See [[Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 June 26#Smiley templates]] http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=9&namespace=10 [[Template::)]] looks normal, gives special Bad title [[Template::-)]] might be a redirect, gives special Bad title [[Template::_AFL_Arenas]] looks normal, gives special Bad title images: :AcousticGuitar.jpg looks normal, gives special Bad title http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=9&namespace=2 [[User:]] appears empty :83.109.166.142 special Bad title :BL :DragonflySixtyseventy 2 :harinair :jhbadger :wlievens http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&from=9 :CueCat, completely inaccessible
I forgot to mention, could a developer please remove the bad templates as requested. I'm not sure what should be done about the others. And of course, there's probably a software fix involved....
Those are all invalid titles, hence the problem...it lies with the data set, not the software.
I'll do a bad-titles sweep shortly...
