Cloak

[edit]

I have moved your IRC cloak verification request to Wikipedia:IRC cloak verifications#Erroneous requests. The problem is those silly parentheses. So, ideally, we'd use a cloak Wikipedia/(boxed) - but due to server limitations they only support alphanumeric characters, /, and - in the hostname portion. So I'd then go to give you a cloak Wikipedia/boxed instead - which might imply you're Wikipedia User:Boxed, but you're not. Well, normally we don't mind things being a little off- we substitute dashes for spaces routinely, for instance- but there's already another boxed, and I don't want to be implying you're him. So, the question becomes what sort of a cloak to give you. Wikipedia/parentheses-boxed-parentheses? That's ugly. Wikipedia/bracket-boxed-bracket? Any suggestions? I'm not entirely sure what will end up happening. -Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 20:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
