Yes, apostrophes are not allowed in page titles for this reason:

see bug 465029

Comment 2

(I'm leaving this an independent bug because it would be nice if we could use SOME of the forbidden characters in titles if we could figure out why they're banned and correct that.) So this bug will cover fixing the KB so that apostrophes are allowed.

As far as I remember, when we first created that page, there was not such a problem and links looked fine. I do not know if this could help to track the problem…

Actually, it's usually a better idea to just keep the English title of the internal links, e.g. in this case ((Options window)). The actual visible title of the link will change automatically to the target language if the article is translated. This means less translation work, since you don't have to worry about direct article links.

As per bug 465029 comment 6, this should be fixed once we upgrade. Perhaps we should mark these "fixed with upgrade" bugs somehow?

This seems to work...

Chris (others?) can you take a look at this?

Comment 8

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

Toni, the links in <http://support.mozilla.com/ca/kb/Taula+de+l%27etiquetatge+wiki> look fine to me. Am I missing something?

Comment 9

[Paul Craciunoiu [:paulc]]

Although in bug 465029 we are adding ' to the bad characters list. Cheng, (or anyone) could you detail why we can't have ' in titles? A test case that fails maybe?

<http://support.mozilla.com/ca/kb/Taula+de+l%27etiquetatge+wiki> and <http://support.mozilla.com/ca/kb/Finestra+d%27opcions> were both created last year.

Resolving as WFM. Toni, if you experience this problem again, just re-open this bug, thanks.
