An odd censoring on the wiki

Hey people on these awesome forums!

So I run a wiki on this website for my current campaign Ending Tranquility and I keep seperate pages for the PCs so they can see their current XP. While writing down a -shameful- bribe today, I noticed something: I cannot write the word ****ss (G U I N N E S S) on the wiki or here. It just becomes ****ss.


Does anyone know how to disable the censoring? The wiki is on private so even if bad language was posted (it won't), people wouldn't see it.

G u i n n e s s is my favorite beer. One of my players went through the trouble to get me one for a session after I went through a tough week. It would be a shame if I could not congratulate him through his bonus XP.

I hope someone knows how to get rid of this, or at least tell me what a G U I N N E is. I tried google, but it won't tell me anything.

Also on a slightly related note: does anyone else not get the toolbar at the top of the screen when creating/edditing a page on the wiki? I do get it here on the forums, but not on the wiki no matter what browser I use. I'm talkin about the B I U buttons. I can click them, but I can't see the images of the buttons so I have to guess where they are.

I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I couldn't find any section that would fit this more.

tl;dr: What is **** and how do I prevent it from being censored.

Yup.  It's censored because part of the word could be considered a misspelled racial slur.  True story, bro.

Well, on these forums, anything could be considered offensive to anybody at anytime.
True story bro.

Google seems to believe it's a mispelling of this country:
