Punctuated Titles

Note:
''The following is a historical document. To learn about the current system for creating punctuated titles, see The Ptitle Replacement System.''

Because of a shortcoming in the TV Tropes software, articles with titles that can't be expressed as a traditional Wiki Word have to use an entirely different system known as "ptitles".

To make a ptitle:

 * Create a link to the title you want, but do it by enclosing the title within ~example text goes here~ instead of . (If you need a page to do this on, use the Wiki Sandbox.) Place the content you want for the page there, then create an article with a punctuation-less title which redirects to the punctuated page's wiki title (as found in your address bar- it's the bit that starts with "ptitle" and is followed by an arbitrary sequence of letters and numbers), as detailed in Creating New Redirects.
 * When you index a ptitled page, use pothole markup instead of ptitle markup. That is, your page's entry on the index should look like this:


 * And not like this :

Because this is such a pain, a title without punctuation should be preferred to one with punctuation when Naming a Trope.
