Why do I keep getting an error message when I try to add a free space page to a photo?

Question

I am trying to add Space:Conner_Family_Photos_%26_Sources to 

https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Conner-5719 but keep getting this error message:

Unable to find a Person or Space record for Space:Conner_Family_Photos_%26_Sources

Hi Rebecca. I have added it for you. The trick (due to Melanie Paul) is not to use %26 in the ID

Space:Conner_Family_Photos_%26_Sources

but instead replace it by the "entity number" & like this:

Space:Conner_Family_Photos_&_Sources

This sort of complication is a good reason not to use punctuation marks in the titles of space pages.

Thank you for the star, Rebecca!
