Description Lea 2014-01-03 02:49:20 UTC
There is no apparent way to delete topics that have bad titles, since you have to click inside the topic in order to delete it and entering the topic isn't possible with a bad title. 

I was hit with a bunch of spam posts and can't delete them because they use funky titles.

Error: "The requested page title was invalid, empty, or an incorrectly linked inter-language or inter-wiki title. It may contain one or more characters that cannot be used in titles."

Thanks for reporting this! CC'ing the maintainer.

Jack: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:WikiForum says "Please report WikiForum bugs on the Bugzilla" but only links to generic https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ - should link to a proper component instead.
