README

This MediaWiki extension controls that the name entered into the Page Form's input title field doesn't contains some specific caracters. If the extension detects a wrong characters, a modal box appears and prevent the user to create the page with the entered title.

Also if there is a blank space at the end of the entered string, the blank space is removed automactically.

We have create this extension to avoid people to create pages with weird characters.
