Talk:Ridván

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In attempting to move the previous "Ridván" entry to this "Riḍván" location, I seem to have messed up and now none of the old links seem to go anywhere. I apologize profusely for the screw-up. I'm attempting to patch this the long way 'round, and welcome any advice for future page-movings, since I'm not sure exactly what went wrong. If more experienced folks think it better to simply revert or know a better way to fix this, be my guest. I'll certainly take no offense.

Yea. The "Riḍván" renders ok in the body of the article, but not in the title. For example, at the top of my screen now I see something that looks like this:

[edit] Editing Talk:Ri   ván

at the top, and it has an utterly nonsensical name in the URL: "Ri%E1%B8%8Dv%C3%A1n" I tried to "move page" and fix it but it won't work. The "̣" character should probably be disallowed from titles because I had to fix the redirects from Ridvan and Ridván too. Actually it's not a true character, just modifies the previous character by putting a dot under it. It would be wise to move this article back to Ridván with a {{wrongtitle}} message addressing the "ḍ" like this:

The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is Riḍván.

...but the system won't let me do it.
