hey Dave, would you be available to check out the issue where titles with periods don't work? I've been meaning to check it out for days but haven't had the time, and it seems pretty important. See this convo with Khris: http://portlandwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:UserBoard&user=Kotra&conv=Khris.soden
