Custom-title it back to Eight Point Eight: Eight Point Eight

The trope Eight Point Eight shouldn't have been custom-titled, it should have stayed "Eight Point Eight". It's confusing to decide where to put it in a trope list, as a trope that's just a number doesn't fit well into alphabeticalized lists.

And besides, as a number it looks too much like a work title, in my opinion. :P

(As well as I'm already posting this, I'd be in favour of a complete rename, but this topic's not about that.)

I think you want this thread.

It has now been uncustomed titled.

Lock?

No, it hasn't. Eight Point Eight is still displaying wrong.

Arg, forgot to check the wicks.

The page itself has been changed back, though.

Here's the thing. Eight Point Eight spelled out — files under E. But when Eight Point Eight displays as 8.8, the number, it files near the top of the list — numerals file above letters.

I would prefer it spelled out, but can live with it either way.

Numbers go before letters. Thats how it works in every alphabetization system I have ever met. Including this very wiki (See auto indexes like The Contributors)

The problem being that we spell it out. {{8.8}} doesn't do anything. It just sits there. I mean, the whole point of the custom titler is to make it so that we can add in punctuation and non-standard letters. Making the name display as a completely different set of characters is just obtuse.
