Well, it is the 12th, so I thought I'd check in. Progress has been made, but it's not enough to actually show. My big project has been in making sure the page names look good, because my dataset doesn't have any info on the custom titles. A lot of that is just looking through for works I know -- adding the é to Pokémon, colon-izing everything White Wolf ever made, etc. Ptitles have been virtually eliminated.
On the back end though, punctuation and spacing won't be too important in links, because the software will correct it for you. A link to ["Anime / Kampfer"] will work just as well as ["Anime/Kämpfer"], or even something like ["anime/kAmpFer!"]. This seems to be the best balance of usability and flexibility to me -- and we can now have pages starting with numbers and punctuation.
Sorry this is taking a long time, but I'd much rather do it right than have people showing up at a broken site. Evan will still be working on it while I'm off to Oklahoma to visit my 96-year-old grandmother (and have her beat me in Pinochle), with a little camping side trip in Arkansas. I'll be mostly AFK for that time, but I might be able to put in a bit of work -- but more likely I'll be outlining my not-yet-published fanfic in my free time. When I get back, I'll be done with the data, and working on the wiki code itself, mostly on any custom code we'll need, like [[folder]. And maybe even make a front page that isn't boring!
