Wiki Word namespaces never worked in the custom titler. The coding stuff for quotation marks and extended characters appears to be a separate issue.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Oh, great! Now Main.I Am Song is blanked out! If I try to type in "I Am Song", it becomes this: ""I Am" Song". Can somebody please fix it?
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is supposed to show up as, "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!", but I always have to type out the full title by hand, unless I leave out WesternAnimation/. (I also leave out the exclamation point out of laziness.)

lu127: "I dunno how long the camelcase bug has been around."
One post from this same thread says that the bug was "known and being worked on." That was over a year ago, and absolutely nothing has been done about it since then. I expected at least putting a warning on the custom title tool.
Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Adventure have missing apostrophes.
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Send the custom title request as "Videogame/KirbysAdventure" rather than as "VideoGame/KirbysAdventure".

Can you do that for entries that already have a custom title defined?
Moon◊Yep. It tells you that there's an existing one, but then adds the new one to the mod approval queue as usual. If implemented, it overwrites the old one.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Hrmm, might do that for a few of the more egregious cases I come across, then.
Moon◊I am not sure this is the right place, but I have a question about custom titles for pages in camel case namespaces (e.g. VideoGame/). I know that it's a known bug that they custom titles for such pages only appear when viewing the corresponding page and not in wicks from other pages, but some of them also do the latter, such as Dragon Age: Origins and Watch_Dogs. Is there a particular reason for these exceptions, or is it just a side effect of the bug?
They work because they were custom titled as Videogame/ rather than VideoGame/.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up!
EDIT: However, if I look at Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, it doesn't work, even though when I input "Videogame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines" into the custom title request form, it tells me that there already exists a custom title for it. What went wrong there?
EDIT 2: Ditto with Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere and Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven.

The previous custom title is already here - the one with the CamelCase namespace.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanBut the previous/camel case custom titles didn't appear in other cases, such as ZanZarah: The Hidden Portal and Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening. :-/
More to the point, should I just request the same custom title to be set again to overwrite the old camel case one for the three entries I mentioned in the previous post?

Ummm, why am I getting Video Game/ requests? That will just ruin the custom titles.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerBecause not everybody knows about the bug with CamelCase namespaces, perchance?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI've sent a couple of custom title requests based on a simple observation that a custom title applied to "Videogame/Title" shows up correctly in both page titles and wicks, regardless of whether said wicks contain "Videogame/" or "VideoGame/" namespaces as prefix. The whole mechanism is very confusing to me, so if I understood it wrong, please correct me...
EDIT: The requests I sent were all for articles that had a custom title previously applied to "VideoGame/Title".

What's difficult about adding "don't CamelCase the namespace" to the "how this works" folder in the custom title tool's page?

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.That it needs Fast Eddie to do it. He's not available at all times and for every task, we know.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman... Okay, though I find hard to assume that he was too busy to add that simple line to what's already there (especially since the suggestion has been raised several months ago), I'll just accept that as a Hand Wave until further notice.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.I still haven't received any adequate answer to following question: How do I fix existing custom titles applied to "VideoGame/Title" to appear in wicks as well as page titles?
Resubmit under "Videogame", and ignore the "we already have this numbnuts" warning.

Man, if ampersands weren't already known to break, I'd probably try " too.
