There is a bug in cargo that busted the name list functionality for items, resulting in wrong/random items being returned for {{Il}} (item links).
For the time being, item links will use the exact item name for searching. This will result in some older instances of item links no longer working, in particular when legacy names are used (e.x. Pierce instead of Pierce Support).
Item links still showing incorrect items should be fixable by null-editing, while errors (red text) relating to the items not being found can be fixed manually by changing the parameter to the full name (see the template for details).
Character
A character is a player-controlled persona in the game with a unique name in the game world.

Character creation
After logging into Path of Exile a character can be created though the character creation screen
A character can be created in different leagues. The game recommends to start in the current standard challenge league.
Once the league has been choose, a character class can be selected. The classes differ by starting location on the passive skill tree, the quest rewards they're given, by their base attributes and their general appearance and voice. They also each have different possible Ascendancy classes.
Players can freely choose the name of their character, however it has to be unique on the realm and it is not possible to use non-ascii letters or numbers in the name. The only special character allowed is the underscore. If a character has remained inactive for over a year their name will become available for other players to use when creating a new character.
There is also the option to create a PvP–only character.
By default only 24 characters can be created. After that existing characters have to be deleted in order to create new a one; however this limit can be extended by purchasing additional character slots from the Path of Exile Shop.
The stats found in the subsections can be found on every character, regardless of the character class.
