!!No ~np~+~/np~ ~np~/~/np~ ~np~#~/np~ ~np~(~/np~ or ~np~)~/np~ in page names
Avoid special characters such as __+__, __/__, __#__, __(__ and __)__ in page names. Tiki handles that pretty badly.
So a page about ''Visual C++'' is called __''Visual C''__, and a page about ''C#'' has to avoid the character __#__.
The same probably goes for __~np~*~/np~__.
Dash ( __-__ ) is fine.

!!Tags get inserted as duplicate
Sometimes, or often - depending on how lucky/unlucky you are - you find yourself wondering where'd that tag go?

Often, when selecting an existing tag and editing it by using the tag dialogue, it inserts a modified copy rather than replacing the selected.
It always places the duplicate at the very end of the page.
Annoying, but just cut the stray tag and replace whatever tag you were editing with it.
If anyone has a solution, edit this.
It's probably a bug?

!!Images
It seems like impossible to get a Lightbox thumbnail for the regular image tag, but the gallery image tag insists on making your image a thumbnail with Lightbox.
So you need to remove the thumb code from your gallery image tag, if you don't want it to be a thumb.
Solution is to select the tag and use the regular image tag dialogue to set options.
However, for the regular image tag, if you want a pretty Lightbox effect, you need to manually add ~np~''__rel="box[g]"__''~/np~ to the tag. Doesn't seem to be a way to set it from the image dialogue.
If anyone has a solution, edit this.

!!Impossible to manually set a position for pages in a structure
If you need to move a page a long distance in a structure, it's going to take some time.
Solution is to remove the page from the structure, select the page where you want the page to come after, and add it again.
Don't delete the page when removing it from the structure, obviously. :)
Should have been possible to enter a '''position''' for the page, maybe in a later version?
