Description Tim Trent 2007-03-11 23:09:33 UTC Look at the page and note users: G & B S George & B S Click either. The former goes to http://train.spottingworld.com/User:G_%26_B_S but is displayed as "G" The latter goes to http://train.spottingworld.com/User:George_%26_B_S but is displayed as "George" Rather odd and aggravatinh Comment 1 Rob Church 2007-03-12 13:18:57 UTC Sounds like a bad rewrite rule.
