	***** According to Wikia staff ~~it can~~ the clearing isn't immediate so while the change was successful it can take some time for it to actually show up (so if you go back to the page later on it should appear correctly). In the pages I've checked myself this has been true. So while somewhat annoying, it doesn't appear to actually be broken. --{{User:Tlosk/Sig}} 01:54, October 26, 2009 (UTC)		***** According to Wikia staff the clearing isn't always immediate so while the change was successful it can take some time for it to actually show up (so if you go back to the page later on it should appear correctly).
