'Specific' delimiter

When i renamed page to the actual - the problem occurs.
If use specific template - it's count as Bar of Bronze - and because of (,) Iron or Steel are become separated
Any ideas how to fix? or just move page to Bar of Hard Metal again?
P.S Found the solution for link(using ask Hard Metal), but it's still show Baf of Bronze etc =\
Same problem on Nuggets.

I think changing the used delimiter in the related templated could fix it (don´t try please, it will break other stuff). But in this case I expect that might not only be the only problem. So I will have to think about that for a moment.
Trying to use/implement a pagename that includes a generally known system delimiter is kinda asking for problems. Wish you had made a note/question about that before actually started to do so. :(
Ps: I can do global name changes when needed.

Well for me that was not clear that can cause a problem, before i start doing it ^_^ sorry

Roger, no problem. I can't know for sure what other do or don't know.
After taking a peek, using "Bar of Hard Metal" instead of "Bar of Bronze, Iron or Steel" for the moment seems the best solution (for use with 'specific' property).
Personally I think "Bar of Bronze, Iron or Steel" is a somewhat oddly picked name by H&H dev's.

Actually i decided to change it, because met some people in discord, not even newbies! who actually can't find this page coz of different from game name. Anyway with "specific" it would be ok even with Hard metal i guess, will move now.

They can's find which page? "Bar of Hard Metal" or "Bar of Bronze, Iron or Steel" (?:redirects not working for them) aha, got it.
Anyway,
I looked at some potential solutions to support processing page/names with a comma in them. But a coded solution, although possible, makes things probably way to complicated.
So far the best and easy solution seem to be to just use an escaped comma (when needed) for a comma that's part of the page/subject-name.
ie: "..., Bar of Bronze, Iron or Steel, ..."

(Changed remaining " of Bronze, Iron or Steel" cases to " of Hard Metal") --.MvGulik. 07:02, 3 November 2018 (EDT)
