Can somebody please add a feature so that if somebody tries to add a translation that includes the characters <tt>(</tt>, <tt>)</tt>, <tt>[</tt>, or <tt>]</tt>, the translation will be rejected and the edit will fail? I've seen IPs try to add translit in parentheses, thus causing a redlink. Thanks! --[[User:Metaknowledge|Μετάknowledge]]<small><sup>''[[User talk:Metaknowledge|discuss]]/[[Special:Contributions/Metaknowledge|deeds]]''</sup></small> 18:30, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

: I think it's probably better to detect and fix these cases ourselves, after the edit has been made. Rejecting the translation will probably not end up with the result we want: either they won't add the translation at all, or they'll work around the problem in some less-than-ideal way. —[[User: Ruakh |Ruakh]]<sub ><small ><i >[[User talk: Ruakh |TALK]]</i ></small ></sub > 18:40, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
::There are some legitimate entries with commas in the title, that's the problem. [[User:Mglovesfun|Mglovesfun]] ([[User talk:Mglovesfun|talk]]) 19:35, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
:::Maybe we should use a warning/reminder, like we do for entry names starting with caps. [[User:Chuck Entz|Chuck Entz]] ([[User talk:Chuck Entz|talk]]) 19:45, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
::::That sounds way better. [[User:Mglovesfun|Mglovesfun]] ([[User talk:Mglovesfun|talk]]) 19:46, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
::::: A warning would also be great. Does anybody know how to do this (or should I try and possibly break it)? --[[User:Metaknowledge|Μετάknowledge]]<small><sup>''[[User talk:Metaknowledge|discuss]]/[[Special:Contributions/Metaknowledge|deeds]]''</sup></small> 19:51, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
:::::: Please don't try-and-possibly-break-it; because it's all client-side JavaScript, with client-side caching, you can't even properly test a change after making it unless you know what you're doing. —[[User: Ruakh |Ruakh]]<sub ><small ><i >[[User talk: Ruakh |TALK]]</i ></small ></sub > 22:01, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
::::::: I would much rather not try-and-possibly-break-it. (I would, of course, rather that someone knowledgeable (like you) do it.) But I think clearing my cache would suffice to let me test it, and that is in fact what I would do were I to TAPBI (again, I'm not really planning to). --[[User:Metaknowledge|Μετάknowledge]]<small><sup>''[[User talk:Metaknowledge|discuss]]/[[Special:Contributions/Metaknowledge|deeds]]''</sup></small> 22:04, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
