Wikiword / custom title cleanup thread

Go To

The Trailing punctuation in trope custom titles thread, as well as many, many discussions over the past ten and a half years, have made it obvious that we need a centralized discussion thread for page titles. I intend for this thread to be a place to both discuss titles and request they be changed.

(If you're looking to capitalize an existing wikiword, there's a different thread for that.)

Yep— unfortunately, I believe once the page title hits the custom title queue, that's where the capitalisation becomes unfixable.

~williamflattener, if you want to rename Commander Z to Commander Z and the Game Fellows, please follow How to Move a Page.

~gropcbf, custom titling The Settlers 2023 to The Settlers renames the page. The disambiguating year can't be hidden.

~Dragon Emperor 90 - the request to custom title Cardcaptor Sakura Sakuras Rival Appears to: Cardcaptor Sakura S1 E8 "Sakura's Rival Appears"

has been declined, as it would be renaming the page. To include the season and episode number in the page title, the page would have to be moved.

I declined one request from a user who tried to replace their name with "Troper Wall". I sent them a PM with instructions on how to make a troper wall (assuming that's what they want).

Your request to rename MetaGuy to Meta Enby has been declined.

If you wish to fully rename the page, that needs more than a custom title - these changes are mostly intended for styling, punctuation and abbreviations.

~Someone 1981

We've done most of the Law & Order wikiwords, but these three don't look right:

  • LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS10E4Lunacy to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S10 E8 "Lunacy"
  • LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS10E5Retro to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S3 E5 "Retro"
  • LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS11E2Sugar to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S11 E2 "Sugar"the

All three are declined.

For the first two, can you double-check the episode and season numbers? If this was a typo in the wikiword, please resubmit with the correct name - if the page name is wrong, we'll need a move request instead.

For the last one, it looks like there was a copy/paste issue at the end? Please resubmit once it's fixed.

Thanks!

Two of your custom title requests have been declined.

  • CounterSideNPC -> COUNTER :SIDE - NPCs
  • CounterSideAdministration -> 'COUNTER:SIDE - The Administration'''

If you need to actually change the title, rather than just the styling and abbreviations, that's normally a page move request, as we wouldn't use a custom WikiWord for that.

So if NPC needs to become NPCs or Administration needs a "the", you probably need to flag it there. If not, please resubmit without these changes and we'll review it.

I'd like get the "Fifties" -> "50s" pages moved note , but I'm unsure about one of the redirects: The Fabulous Fifties. Should I move that page to The Fabulous50s and make it an additional redirect or something else?

Yes, that's another one I initially missed, because I was only looking at the direct decade pages for some reason.

Characters.Pokemon Weather Trio got changed to have the custom title "Super-ancient Pokémon". (Which is the actual canon name for the group, but then the actual page should be made instead.)

~t99legcentipede

Your request to rename Emma to Emma! A Pop Musical has been declined.

A custom title could be used to add an exclamation mark, but if you wish to fully rename the page, that needs a move request - these changes are mostly intended for styling, punctuation and abbreviations.

In this case, using a custom wikiword would also hit Series.Emma, the original Literature.Emma and all the other Emma pages and adaptations, not just Emma, so it might also be worth posting on the disambiguation thread to see if there's a view on separating them by page name.

Please do not use the Custom Wiki Word tool to alter the title beyond punctuation and capitalization.

It seems that you are trying to bowdlerize 20 Bear Asses into 20 Bears, which is an unacceptable reason to rename a trope.

If they are SVU and it was just a mistake in the requested name, please resubmit with the corrected title.

Your request to rename DropOut to Dropout has been declined.

For that sort of capitalisation fix (changing two words to one), a wikiword change isn't going to be the best option - it's better handled as a capitalisation request.

Your request to rename LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS21E14IDeserveSomeLovingTOO to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S21E14 "I Deserve Some Loving Too" has been declined.

For that capitalisation fix on TOO, a wikiword change isn't going to be the right option - it's better handled as a capitalisation request.

If you submit a new wikiword request once that's sorted out, we can fix the other aspects.
