IIUC this means, tags are separated by spaces, right? Can you please include this bit of Information here and [[Delete When Cooked|DeleteWhenCooked]]? -- [[User:DonRedman|DonRedman]] 21:52, 04 October 2007 (UTC)
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">No, tags are separated by commas. Spaces separate words inside a tag. I updated the syntax description. -- [[User:OutsideContext|OutsideContext]]
</ul>

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">Special characters will get stripped. But I think the server allows all word characters, not only english ones. I haven't looked at the implementation, though. -- [[User:OutsideContext|OutsideContext]]
