Why is Twilight now called Twilight: Los Angeles? Is this some sort of elaborate prank?

Good question...I certainly didn't approve a custom title to that effect.

There are too many works with that title ("Twilight") and presumably someone asked for a custom title on one of these and neither them nor the moderator approving it realized the title collisions (or that custom titles should not be used for that).

I've yanked it.

Twilight: Los Angeles is a play based on a collection of interviews of witnesses to the Los Angeles riots in 1992. The original production was performed by one woman Anna Deveare Smith, she also did all of the interviews.

It was later made into a movie with the same title.

I made the page about two years ago and it was later cut for reasons I have never been able to ascertain. The custom title I requested all those years ago was something like Theater/Twilight:Los Angeles.

Well, that custom title doesn't look yanked to me. Either the change didn't take or it got put back (which, if the case, is more than a little worrying).

This is a bit odd.

BC: Twilight Los Angeles looks like you started it and never got around or got a chance to fill in the details.

The Twilight Diambig page got changed as well.

Along with the red link issue is this a data base error or more of Eddie testing something?

Custom titles currently apply to all pages with the same name, regardless of namespace. So yeah, the disambig page would have changed, along with every Twilight subpage we have. That's not anything new.

Ahh I see. Kinda odd for it to kick in all of sudden. The Page in question was restored back in 2012 by someone called movie007.

There is something jacked up with custom titles, alright. I'll ask in moderator chat.

Got another case of it to report in the meantime. Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. Somehow the namespace got added into the custom title, which is...even weirder than the Twilight problem.

Fixed that one as well.

I think I'll close this topic, as according to private discussion the issue should be resolved. If you find further bad titles, send a custom title request.
