Thread:Project:Support desk/Slash in page's title/reply (6)

A note on %-encoded - for the curious. The reason the + can be escaped as %2B but / cannot be is what level the escaping escapes from. The %2B is to deal with how the webserver deals with forms (where + means space), where / is interpreted purely on the MW side.

You can use %E2%88%95 in the url. It will make a very similar (but not technically identical character in the page). For example talk:Sandbox%E2%88%95test &rarr; talk:Sandbox%E2%88%95test.

Last of all, if you disable $wgRestrictDisplayTitle you can make the displayed title be different from the "real" title.
