Colons in article names
Hi Ken,
We cannot use colons (:)s in article names. These are reserved characters in the wiki software.

Creating alias's to existing pages
I noticed that you created a new page called Microphone Feedback that appears to be a (near) clone of the existing page Feedback / Microphone
Rather than have two nearly identical pages, you can create an alias that points to the original page.
You can create a page (any name you want for example Microphone Tips) and then make its sole contents
#REDIRECT [[Feedback / Microphone]]
Any reference to Microphone Tips will automatically load Feedback / Microphone
So if you want to have a page called Microphone Feedback then you could create that as a redirection page with contents
#REDIRECT [[Feedback / Microphone]]
Then we will just one page to maintain. We can make any required changes in the original page and avoid having redundant pages.
We need to avoid having two (or more) pages that have essentially the same information. It's fine if you make pages that refer to and present the building blocks (like atoms) to create different molecules. But we don't want to have multiple versions of the "atoms". It becomes really difficult to maintain.
