While we can do this, it's not inherently necessary — one of the basic purposes of the new system is to allow pages to be renamed without moving them to a new URL. Certainly if you have the time and inclination, you may wish to do this, but bear in mind that you'll have to do the whole deal: move the article and its subpages, fix the wicks, and PM a mod to move any discussion pages or reviews. Also note that if external sites link to a ptitle, we can't just cut it.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I generally lean more towards replacing the ptitles, especially if there are other reasons for changing the article URL anyway (such as moving a work from Main to a Media namespace.)
Visit my contributor page to assist with the "I Like The Cheeses" project!On a related note... The Ptitle Replacement System says that "[t]he index needs the URL of the page, or a redirect to it." However, doing so for Aren't You Going to Ravish Me? and This Bed of Rose's renders the ptitled articles indexless, thus the only option left - besides returning to using ptitles on the indexes - is to move everything to the normal title and discard the old ptitle (after fixing the wicks, of course).
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.That's because I already fixed them; look at the history for each page and its Ptitle redirect, and you'll see evidence of the transplanting. I made the change because I tried to apply what the passage I quoted recommended to do, only to find that it doesn't work.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.If a page has its content on a ptitled URL, you have to list that ptitle on the index. That's the only time you're supposed to be wicking to ptitles now.
Any other time you wick, you use the non-ptitle redirect. Or if you swap the page's content to the non-ptitle version, then you also change the wick the index as well.

It's OK, I wasn't replying to you, I was just confused as to what Marq FJA's point is. Unless he's just saying that the wording on the The Ptitle Replacement System page needs to be clearer regards when to use ptitle URLs on indexes and when not to.

Apparently I am adorable, but my GF is my #1 Groupie. (Avatar by Dreki-K)Last night I discovered that Ptitle0bt4sr44 (Sorcery) had no alphabetic redirects whatsoever. I've moved it to an alphabetic Wiki Word (with matching requests for custom titles), however I might have put it in the wrong namespace. Can somebody check my work?

An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.The namespace should be Video Game, however, the custom titler doesn't like CamelCase namespaces.
I misread the page. I think CYOA should still fall under Literature. I need to stop replying while I'm tired. I saw the iPhone app thing and thought it was a videogame.

I thought Game/ was for board games and other non-video games?

I knew TabletopGame/ was for RPGs, but I didn't know it was for board games too. (Feels weird somehow, even if it's technically correct.)

Now that we have the "customize title" feature and it's working very well: Should we replace the current ptitle pages by pages with customize titles and cutlist the ptitles or not? What's the position of the mods?
