Here is a list of common illegal characters that must not be included in web urls – - – and not used when creating file names that will be used on the web:

# % & * { } \ : < > ? / +

In addition to this list it is prohibited to have consecutive periods in the URL (or file name). It’s also prohibited to start or end with a space or underline, or to end with a period.

Even though it isn’t illegal to use commas or spaces in a url – it is best to not use them for consistency across different server platforms.

These rules are Web Standards.

Sometimes there are instances where page functionality is not operating as it should. The GUI is not letting you edit a page or remove a corrupt web part. Here I will start listing those URL appendices that will get you to the mode you need:

Put a page in EDIT mode.

• Limit the number of nested folders.
• Abbreviate where possible.

Instead of Folders create Libraries with Acronym then rename library to full name.  The original created name never changes.

Append the following text to the URL, directly after “…aspx”

?contents=1

an example would be…

https://gain.paegroup.com/Pages/Default.aspx?contents=1
