Apparently, renames need to be submitted to the TRS forum:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=renames
At the moment, that forum is at its 50 thread limit, so no new thread can be posted until some of the backlog has been worked through and the related threads closed.

Another resource recommends recreating the page as the new name, and then asking for the old name to be deleted here:

I'm going to go with this approach, recreating the pages with their new names, and then requesting that the old pages (names) be deleted. Then I'll request custom WikiWords.

I've been looking at the custom WikiWords used on some recap pages. The basic pattern is: Name of Series S#E# "Name of Episode"
In the case of The Chosen, the episodes would have custom WikiWords that look like this:
The custom part is putting "TV Series" in parentheses to match the main pages, removing spaces from the season and episode tag, putting the episode name in quotes, and (if needed) correcting the capitalization/punctuation of the episode names.
The episodes in the main seasons are easy enough, but what about "The Shepherd" and "The Messengers"? I moved them to their chronological locations in the Recap index, but the recap pages still have Bonus1 and Bonus2 in the names. Custom WikiWords can't be used to rename pages. Should these episodes be listed with their current names, like this?
Or should we rename them first, and then create custom WikiWords based on the new names, for example:
Thoughts? Comments? Questions?
