== Plus sign in internal link ==

Can anyone please tell me how to make a internal link with a plus (+) on the name of the page referred by the internal link? I have tried to make a link [[like+this]] but it won't work. Can anyone please tell me how to link like that? Thanks. [[User:61.94.149.67|61.94.149.67]] 17:32, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, due to [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)|technical restrictions]], plus signs aren't allowed in page names.  When it's unavoidable, the generally accepted solution is to spell out the "plus", for example, the page on C++ resides at [[C Plus Plus]].  Adding <nowiki>{{wrongtitle|title=CorrectTitle}}</nowiki> (remembering to replace "CorrectTitle") to the top of the page in question will add a standardised notice informing the reader. When linking to the page you should use a piped link to hide the incorrect page title, like this: [[C Plus Plus|C++]] - 18:05, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC) [[User:ScudLee|Lee]] [[User Talk:ScudLee|<small>(talk)</small>]]
