The problem is that your username starts with a number. The wiki software doesn't allow wiki pages whose title starts with a number.

You need to make a new account with a name that doesn't start with a number.

Huh? I can't even go to Tropers.{{99Hedgehog}} (redirects to homepage) but Tropers.ShadowX300 works. I don't get this.

EDIT: oops, ninja. why are numbers allowed as long as it starts with letters?

@below. I see.

Because the wiki software reads numbers as lowercase letters. Wiki URLs don't work if they start with lowercase, but they work if lowercase is anywhere else.
