 * I have a page with a numerical name, for which Wp adds -2 for the permalink.
 * Why?
 * And is there a way to remove it?

 * Do you have another Page or Post with the same title? If not, have you tried 
   emptying your Trash recently?

 * There’s nothing with the same title, and nothing in the trash.
 * And if I create another numerically-titled page – with a ridiculous amount of
   digits which remove any possibility of thre being an earlier page similarly-named–
   it still adds the -2.
