Is it possible to create a page that includes a question mark symbol? e.g. to create the page "What is life?"
I was trying with this: "¿Y qué es la felicidad?" and there is no problem with the first caracter but the final "?" doesn't work.
thanks
Pablo

The question mark need to be "url encoded": the code for a question mark is: %3F The name of your page is: Y qué es la felicidad%3F
Nice to help. François

Although, using Firefox and and an EN, UTF-8, MW v1.4, it seems to work fine by just creating a link in a page with a question mark in its title or, if you have the 'search' Go function set to open an edit page for pages not found, it can simply be entered there. The question mark only seems to be problematic if used directly in a URL, as would be expected.
It is stored in the cur table as just 'blah?'.
