Page title

If multiple question marks in a title isn't supported by the wiki, why can this page have so many question marks in its title? Chocolate (Chat with Me) 21:21, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

No answer? Chocolate (Chat with Me) 00:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

That's right. MaverickNate 00:13, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Why did my original question go un-answered? This page should be titled "?????", not "five question marks", because ????? is the real name, and I was asking why it couldn't be called that. Chocolate (Chat with Me) 00:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Chocolate raises an excellent point. We have ??????????, yet we can't have this page moved to ?????, where it belongs? I personally find that ridiculous. I'm Missingno. Master. See my new and improved user page, and comment on it! 01:11, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Then why can we have ?????????? Chocolate (Chat with Me) 02:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Because that has a different issue. There can be two things considered as "ten question marks". Look at the pages before you ask questions that could be answered with a little research. MaverickNate 02:48, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
But "?????" is the real name of the Pokémon here. Chocolate (Chat with Me) 02:49, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Why not just make "Ten question marks" an article with every thing named as "??????????", then keep Question mark (Generation III)#? and leave that as the main article with the other section in the Ten question marks article. eA 02:52, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

There. Problem solved. eA 02:59, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
