[edit] names with spaces

I tried to change my name to "Paul Murray", but after filling in the template it seemed to be saying that I was trying to change it to "Murray Paul Murray", or something.

How do I change my name to "Paul Murray"? (Paul.Murray is taken)

You place an underscore ("_") between Paul and Murray, as in Paul_Murray. This will prevent the links from breaking. The system does not recognize usernames with underscores, so you will still be renamed to Paul Murray. Essjay (Talk) 03:28, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
