Seriously, can someone please sort the wiki out so that the # works in searching? So that, for example, searching Luster Dragon #2 actually comes up with the correct monster. Battlemaniac (talkcontribs) 20:02, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

It's a symbol... and it could be quite difficult to get it right unless Dinoguy found a way. I also wish that Wikia Staff would not have changing all Wikia too much - they made them look like they were born from the loser. --iFredCat 20:12, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
This is unfortunately, not possible. # is used by the wiki software to jump to a paragraph heading in articles, and is therefore reserved, and unable to be used for article names.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 20:45, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
That's why I considered that symbol as "difficult part" to fixing into the mother computer. So all we can do is to put in "Luster Dragon" then click on #2 in the search list. --iFredCat 20:57, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
Of just type Luster Dragon 2.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 21:04, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
The hash anchors aren't just used in wiki software, it's part of HTML, so they won't be able to do anything even if they wanted to.
Luster Dragon 2 is fine. -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 01:55, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
That being said, if you get to "Article A" by searching for "Article A #Z", the former needs a hatnote pointing to the latter (I know some such pages do have such a hatnote, but I've never tried to find out if all of them do). ディノ千?!? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 21:44, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
Great, this would take dozen of computer scientists to get it correct. --iFredCat 21:51, June 18, 2012 (UTC)
