That is a glitch in the system. Also, the source gives the source of Series.

Many have noted the glitch on a few other cases, like here.

Can the page even be cut at all? If not, it must be stuck on the server, unable to be edited, viewed or cut because of the period in its title. At least I have its content saved at Sandbox.Series War Of The Worlds.

(Trying to view the source used to work - which is how I got the source to copy it to the sandbox - but now it just gives the source of Series).

It can't. There are too many dots in the URL. We'll need admin assistance here.

Just as I thought - the page can't be cut because of the period in the title. It probably wasn't created manually but by a bug duplicating an old revision of Series.War Of The Worlds.

Besides Main.Series.War Of The Worlds, there's also Main.Main.Annoying Younger Sibling and Pantheon.Pantheon.Trope Pantheons. These were probably created by the same bug.

Unfortunately, I can't do a title search for all pages with periods in their titles that were created by this bug because search terms for the title search need to be at least 3 characters long to be searchable.
