-[[Page]] names in [[DokuWiki]] are converted to lowercase automatically. Allowed characters are letters, digits and, within names ((i.e. you cannot start or end names with them, resp. they will be eliminated at start or end of names)), the "special characters" ''.'', ''-'' and ''_''. All other special characters (i.e. other than letters and digits -- whitespace, plus, slash, percent, etc.) are converted to underscores ((or whatever is configured in the [[config:sepchar|sepchar setting]])) . Colons ('':'') are used to identify [[namespaces]] ((This can be changed to forward slashes to more naturally mirror your data filesystem hierarchy: [[config:useslash]] )).
