[edit] Problem accessing gw1:Guild Wars Utopia
Does anyone know how to delete gw1:Guild Wars Utopia? Trying to access it directly at http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gw1:Guild_Wars_Utopia or http://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=Gw1:Guild%20Wars%20Utopia gets the following error: "Bad title The requested page title was invalid, empty, or an incorrectly linked inter-language or inter-wiki title. It may contain one or more characters which cannot be used in titles.". -- Gordon Ecker 08:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- To fix it, we'll need to have the interwiki link for "gw1" disabled; then the file can be accessed and deleted; then at that point the interwiki link can be re-enabled. Now that "gw1" is reserved as a code for an interwiki link, the system will prevent access to any article that starts with that code. --161.88.255.140 18:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- And an anon knows this? Great. Well, Gordon, I guess they Emily's going to need to put in another request to IT very soon. Calor (t) 19:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Why, shouldn't an anon know that? Lord of all tyria 19:41, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Wouldn't it be simpler to just get IT to delete it server-side? -- Gordon Ecker 21:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Wasn't the page created before the links were enabled? It was probably an innocent mistake from special:wantedpages. Lord Belar 22:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I don't think it would be possible to create one after. -- Gordon Ecker 01:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Take a look at Special:WantedPages. I'm seeing gw1:Flameseeker Prophecies near the top with 4 supposed links, but no pages actually use the link. When I click on the link in the wanted pages it opens the correct page on gww for me to edit. So you guys are right, you can't recreate pages with gw1: in front any more... but those old innocently created pages seem to have left a few interesting remains through the wiki, not just the utopia page. --Aspectacle 03:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

- Just curious, why the sound of surprise that an anon knows this? --71.227.150.109 02:08, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
