Wikidot normalizes page names in its URLs to fit a specific form. Internally it calls these “UNIX names”, SCUTTLE and other projects have called these names “slugs”. (See glossary)

Wikidot URLs have a number of restrictions. Slugs are only in lowercase, and do not permit any punctuation or spaces, with specific exceptions for underscores (_) and colons (:). The basic transformation is to lowercase all alphanumeric characters, and convert all others into dashes.
Below is a table listing some basic transformations:
