Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.

Oh, I see the post-duplication bug is still here...
pictures for sad children is the same way, though significantly older.
Oh, god, don't do that. It's so ugly. If someone wants to make a Self-Demonstrating version of the pages, that's... well, dumb, but it's up to them. But the main ones need to be in standard style.

I've unlocked this, because I strenuously disagree with Fighteer. If the official title of the work uses non-standard capitalization, that's what the page should use. It may be ugly, but it's the actual name of the work, the same way we use end punctuation (Theatre/HelloDolly makes Hello, Dolly!) or non-standard notation (Theatre/TitleOfShow makes [title of show].)
The question here is, is it official that the titles are in all small letters?

Madrugada, I think you misunderstand the issue. The problem is not that the page titles are all lowercase, it's that every single capital letter on the page has been turned into lower case.
The title should stay lowercase, and all of the capital letters on the page should be put back on. That's my two cents.
Agree that the title should use the official spelling/capitalization, etc., and that the text of the article should not.
However, I've seen a lot of people blindly follow a stylized version of the name from a poster or cover without checking to see if that's how the name is stylized in general. The most common case is when the poster has the name in all-caps. That doesn't (necessarily) mean the official name is all-caps. The Avengers is The Avengers not THE ⒶVENGERS, no matter what the poster might suggest. :)
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
No, I did not understand that the whole page was changed to that. In that case, I agree with Fighteer — those go in the Self-demonstrating namespace, only, if they go anywhere.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
Was there discussion anywhere (the pages' discussion pages are blank) about changing the entire pages for history of japan and history of the entire world, i guess to be in all lowercase letters, or was that a unilateral move on TheWhistleTropes's part?
