I'm creating some custom templates and I keep running in to a problem where I get'Page not found'. After a bit of debugging, I discovered that I only get this if my URL contains www.mysite.com/custom_page/?name=donkey_boy.

If I use www.mysite.com/custom_page/?full_name=donkey_boy, the page loads as it should.

Does that mean that name is a reserved word?

I guess this'll solve your query... WordPress Reserved Terms. Just search for 'name', it's there.

Isn't that only variables concerning taxonomies? They mention something about reserved WordPress public and private query variables, but that link is broken. – Steven Aug 5 '11 at 20:48
Yes, indeed this page points to 'Taxonomies' only, but I just meant to bring it to notice that if 'name' is a reserved term here, it may be, in other contexts too. Precisely, it exists as a reserved term in WordPress universe. And the link works fine! ;) – Rutwick Gangurde Aug 6 '11 at 3:16
hmm...ok, I'll look into this. And no, the content in that link is "broken" Trac Error. No node trunk/wp-includes/classes.php at revision 18517 – Steven Aug 7 '11 at 15:16
