So I had migrated everything from Gakusen Toshi Asterisk (and it's character page) to Asterisk War since I believe this wiki uses the official English whenever possible (I checked with the forum thread first just to be safe) and then indexed it. The problem stems from the fact that I later discovered that the official English name for the series is The Asterisk War. Since I'm unsure as to what to do, I felt like I should ask here. Should I migrate everything to the appropriate name and add the wrong pages to the cutlist, use a custom title to fix the error, or just leave it be?

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

In this scenario, I believe it would be correct to move everything again, fix all your redirects, and cutlist the pages not spelled with a The (except maybe the one in the Light Novel/ namespace, since that might be a needed redirect regardless). In essence, you'd be setting the wiki to the state it would be in now if you had been aware of the proper title from the beginning.

she her hers hOI!!! i'm tempe
