Simple answer: You can't. Support for the + character in titles is a recent addition in unstable CVS HEAD, and isn't supported on a release branch of MediaWiki. Obviously, it's up to you as to whether or not you risk using potentially dodgy code on a production wiki... Rob Church On 05/01/06, Chel Ja <cubicle02(a)yahoo.com> wrote:

It's a change made in several PHP files. The chances that the same patch can be applied to REL_1_5 are slim, but check the CVS announce list's archives - http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-cvs. Rob Church On 05/01/06, kaluguran seven <sakura.i8i(a)gmail.com> wrote:

At first sight, it appears to be a fairly simple change - namely this one: http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-cvs/2006-January/013156.html However, just that on its own isn't enough; it seems that the legal title chars are now a configuration option, so you have to add "+" to that list as well. But that list doesn't exist in version 1.5, so you will have to do some hacking after all, and there may have been other changes when that was first made configurable... -- Rowan Collins BSc [IMSoP]

Thank you for the response. I'd probably educate users not to use + in their titles;)
