All,

thanks for the quick responses.  Here is what I found.  I can add a page with 'alert' in the name and i can add modules to the page.  However, if I need to do anything with the settings of the page or module, the page is redirected without the word 'alert' in the name and of course errors out.  I can use the word in the page title without issue, just not in the page name.  I can do something different for now, but it would be nice to have a fix.  Also, perhaps someone needs to create a list of words that are reserved or that will result in a redirection.  What's weired is that it doesn't matter if alert is used alone or mashed with other words.  As soon as the word is found, the redirect happens.

If using the wiki module, do not use the 'alert' word in the body because everything following it will NOT be saved.
