Yeah that didn't actually work. It's still showing as "[]".

Gonna go for a long-shot and request "[\\\\]". This will probably not work. But just to check.

It didn't work, but I learned that just putting in the custom wikiword seems to null out the customization.

That's good to know, I think? We needed a way to do that for Capitalization reasons?

Tested with Fanfic.The Wards Of UA, but Fanfic/TheWardsOfUA still produces The Wards Of UA while Fanfic/TheWardsofUA produces The Wards of UA.

Bracketed Backslash now appears to show as, uh, nothing,

Indeed. I can't link to it.

VideoGame/BracketedBackslash is now: "Bracketed Backslash".

Dot Test... VideoGame.Bracketed Backslash...

I suspect making the Custom match the base would fix it...

...

So, Bracketed B Ackslash... Capitalization matters.

So... if we wanna clear a capitalization, we need to put the Blanker at the exact one we want blanked.

That "blank" entry happened because of someone accepting a as the custom wikiword.


Huh... the backslash is missing from here as well. So obviously I was wrong about the backslash nulling out the customization. Interesting quirk.

Oh, yeah, backslashes in queries get interpreted as escape characters and eaten, so you have to double up if you want to actually use them.

[=/=]... If that was a Custom title, would that be a slash or have the brackets and equals too?
