== Fix my Federation, please (NOW SOLVED - thanks)==

Can someone fix what I've done here: I guess it will be an article move.  I needed to do accented Es in the article title but could only find the HTML code for it, not the ALT-xxx code. The article is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_International_de_Gymnastique#External_links here].  What it should look like can be seen here: [[Gymnastics]] - second paragraph. Appreciate it if someone can sort it out, cos I dunno how to fix it. --[[User:Bodnotbod|[[User:Bodnotbod|<span style="font-family:arial;">bodnotbod</span>]] » [[User talk:Bodnotbod|<span style="font-size:x-small;">.....TALK</span><span style="font-size:medium;">Q</span><span style="font-size:x-small;">uietly</span><span style="font-size:medium;><span style="color:black;">)</span></span>]]]] 21:42, Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)

Damn.  Actually there's more problems.  Firstly I made a mistake and need the article to be moved to [[Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique]] (there's an 'e' I missed at the end of International (not entirely my fault, I was clicking on someone elses red link)... I know how to move an article but I know I'll meet the same accent(?) problem if I do it with this.  

It would also be good to have redirects from [[Federation Internationale de Gymnastique]] (no accents) and [[International Federation of Gymnastics]].  Again, I know how to do redirects, but presumably I'll suffer if I try it with HTML special characters in all of those.

Alternatively someone could put the alt-??? thing here for the character I need and then i should be able to do it myself... maybe. --[[User:Bodnotbod|[[User:Bodnotbod|<span style="font-family:arial;">bodnotbod</span>]] » [[User talk:Bodnotbod|<span style="font-size:x-small;">.....TALK</span><span style="font-size:medium;">Q</span><span style="font-size:x-small;">uietly</span><span style="font-size:medium;><span style="color:black;">)</span></span>]]]] 23:13, Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)

:assuming you aren't using a [[Internet Explorer|really crappy browser]], you can just cut'n'paste the "é" yourself, as a regular letter. -- [[User:Finlay McWalter|Finlay McWalter]] | [[User talk:Finlay McWalter | Talk]] 23:19, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

::Actually I do use a [[Internet Explorer|really crappy browser]], but you can still cut n'paste it.  So...oh.  That should work then.  Damn.  I was hoping to have an excuse.  Right, I'll have a go.  Not feeling confident, mind. --[[User:Bodnotbod|[[User:Bodnotbod|<span style="font-family:arial;">bodnotbod</span>]] » [[User talk:Bodnotbod|<span style="font-size:x-small;">.....TALK</span><span style="font-size:medium;">Q</span><span style="font-size:x-small;">uietly</span><span style="font-size:medium;><span style="color:black;">)</span></span>]]]] 00:12, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)

:::OK, think I've sorted all that out now. --[[User:Bodnotbod|[[User:Bodnotbod|<span style="font-family:arial;">bodnotbod</span>]] » [[User talk:Bodnotbod|<span style="font-size:x-small;">.....TALK</span><span style="font-size:medium;">Q</span><span style="font-size:x-small;">uietly</span><span style="font-size:medium;><span style="color:black;">)</span></span>]]]] 00:22, Aug 18, 2004 (UTC)
