Linking to wiki pages with special characters in the name ie. "é"Barony of Þórbrandrsson

I'm trying to link to my town Chaméno Méros in the wiki... The following DON'T work:

[[Chaméno Méros|Chaméno Méros]]

[[Chameno Meros|Chaméno Méros]]

[[cham-no-m-ros|Chaméno Méros]]

[[:Chaméno Méros|Chaméno Méros]]

[[Chaméno Méros]]

What am I missing? I looked in a previous campaign's wiki, and the links to Barony of Þórbrandrsson look normal.

Special characters definitely break things - try a direct link using href rather than textile markup.

You can use character codes when dealing with special characters.

In your case you want the code & eacute; without the space

 

 [[Chaméno Méros|Chaméno Méros]]

The HTML character codes didn't work, so href link it is. That'll teach me to use Greek place names. Thanks guys!
