I've been recently wondering about vanilla objects that has tilde ("~") in their names. This character is not shown in-game, and from what I've been able to guess, he's some sort of forced carriage return or splitting of the name field. The example of item with tilde in his name is "Cursed Viper~Bane Cuirass" with ID "SEEnchEbonyCuirassResistPoison" (it is from SI, but there are also ones from stock OB). Is it mentioned somewhere on the site? If not, then maybe someone should check it further and add such mention? - [[User:ZuTheSkunk|ZuTheSkunk]] 03:40, 6 June 2010 (EDT) | I've been recently wondering about vanilla objects that has tilde ("~") in their names.

== About removing bylines on mainspace articles == | |||
I don't think waiting any longer than we already have would make removing bylines any more appropriate. In two months we have given the original authors 5 years to respond; that should be plenty of time for anyone to formulate a response. I can't recall any author who has responded to this message. | |||
However, [[:Template:Byline|the byline notice]] does not specifically warn against removal. It merely says: ''"Current rules do not allow bylines in mainspace articles"'' and calls for the original author to ''"comment on this in the Talk page."''. | |||
Despite this I'm '''not opposed''' to the removal of bylines from all mainspace articles. Even though we did not specifically warn against removing them at some point none of the authors have responded. That signifies nothing but disinterest, in their articles, or the byline policy. | |||
