In Czech, the accent marks work fine.
Everything works fine as long as you do not add a slash sign into your page
name. Slash is a no-no.

I think Ive mentioned this here before but its
still a problem
Last semester, we had nine classes in the es.wiki course extension. There
were two problems.
1) as I am the only one (so far) with the permission/flag to create
classes,
I have to add the (real) instructors as
instructors, rather than
creators.
This means that they cannot add students to their
own course.
If a user has been signed up on the course page as the instructor,
they are able to add students to that course, even if they do not have
the 'course instructor' user right. The area to add students shows up
at the bottom of the course page, beneath the summary table and (if
present) the table of students.
That would not be such a big deal if not for
....
2) The link that is generated for students to enter and add themselves
to a
course sometimes works and sometimes not. It
seems to be a problem with
the
use of accent marks in words in the url. I
thought by changing
"Tecnológico
de Monterrey" to "Tec de
Monterrey" as the institution name, Id be able
to
eliminate the problem. However, unfortunately the
url contains the word
"inscripción" (registration) with an accent mark.
I just created a course for teacher training from now through next
semester
with the inscription here
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Especial:Inscripci%C3%B3n/Tec_de_Monterrey,_Ca…
and tried registering under my account, which
worked. But when my husband
tried on his computer with his account he received a message saying that
the
site does not exist. Another teacher has emailed
me with the same issue.
Interesting. I hadn't heard of this problem until now.
I tried replicating it, but I could not. Any idea what was different
between when you tried it (and it worked) and when your husband tried
(and it didn't)?
