Troper page problem..

Go To

Umm, I am new to the site and I happen to be a bit confused about my troper page. I suppose the main problem is that I made my handle lower-case, and my link is:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/snickkerz

But that just redirects to the homepage. I assume that my troper page should be capitalized. Is there a way to change the capitalization of my name, or somehow make the link above edit-able? Any help appreciated.

..I hope I am posting this in the right place.

Oh, it appears that this is my page:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Snickkerz

but in "new edits", when you click my name, you still get this:

That's repaired. By the way, you can use wiki markup in the forums. snickkerz will take you to your page.

The links in the forum/markups and the history pages work fine, but it appears that every troper with a lower-case name get links in "wiki edits" that redirect to the homepage..

You have to format the wick with a leading capital, even if you want your name to display without it.

I'm having this same problem...the lowercase "troacctid" link in my Watchlist doesn't work. [1]

Can I add a "me too"?

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/robster2001 redirects to the homepage (which, as noted, affects the link from my name on the 'wiki edits' page).

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Tropers/Robster2001 works (except for the fact that my Troper page seems to have disappeared, but that's an issue for another day, I guess)...

I am not a mod, and I don't play one on TV.

Titles with lowercase first letters don't work, but it's fixable by logging in again with the first letter of your handle capitalized.

Huh. I know some people have done it successfully...
