What are the restrictions for a redirection

There are few restrictions that apply to your redirection:

• Your source may contain any of the following characters: a-z A-Z 0-9 % - . & _

Known problems

Forwards with spaces (%20) cannot be deleted

Solution: rename the source to something that does not contain a space (%20). Go to the redirection page and click on the edit button right from the target. Remove all %20 or all %xx from the source field of the forward and press "Edit". Now, you can delete the redirection.
