I just finished editing a story of mine. After going through and manually inserting italics, bold etc into the Wikia editor, I pressed submit, only to find I've used "illegal" characters. Such listed are s, !s and ?s. However, I've seen other stories online here which feature these character plenty. Is there some kind of action I should be taking?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
