		+	== Database error when searching for a string containing '--' ==
		+
		+	Self explanatory - I found this while searching for the string "--more--". Seems to work with any string that contains a -- in it (but only the double dash, a single dash "-" works fine). Here's the error text I got after searching:

		+	== community.wikia.com links in odd places. ==
		+
		+	This comes from my interwiki cleanup work. We have an interwiki prefix, "w", which expands to "http://community.wikia.com/wiki/$1". It is used in some odd places.
		+
		+	* [[Template:GFDL]] -- links to wikia for the text of the Gnu Free Documentation License and for the FSF (and their FSF page is blank).
		+	* [[NetHackWiki:policy]] -- says "follow wikia policies where applicable" and links to four of them. Perhaps we could write our own policies, copying the parts of wikia policies that we like?

		+
		+	Hi guys, new user. Sorry if this is the wrong section.
		+
		+	I can't post new topics to the watercooler. I am logged in, I type in a topic in the field provided, click the button, and get sent to a page: "No such action". Is the watercooler just down all the time? I see that some people have occasionally been able to post in the last couple of months where I have been trying.
