Customize title across namespaces

When we submit a request for a custom title, can there be a flag to indicate that the custom title should be applied for all namespaces where the Wiki Word exists? Currently they have to be submitted as separate requests.

Seconding this. Since we're moving stuff to their proper namespaces, I think something should be implemented so that customized titles don't need to be re-customized when being moved to another namespace.

We do kinda need this unless we use ptitles in CamelCase namespaces and I don't think anybody wants that.

I really shouldn't reply to these threads when I'm tired.

Uh, you kind of need them to not do this since it will propagate to works that don't have the same customization.

Hence a flag for it, only to be used if there if all works with the same unpunctuated title have the same punctuated one (ie >95% of the time).

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

No, by "flag" I mean a checkbox option on the processing form. If it's selected, the custom title gets applied to all instances of the articleName across all namespaces. (Possibly extending to the creation of new subpages?)

If it's not selected, the custom title only applies to the specified namespace/article (current behavior).

I've also noticed that customized titles attached to namespaces don't show up customized. I've sent a request to customize VisualNovel.Fate Stay Night, for example, so that it would get customized to appear as Fate Stay Night, but instead it still appears as Fate/stay night.

It's only on namespaces where the namespace is a Wiki Word. Does Fate/stay night work right?

Yes, actually. In fact the custom title seems to be displaying properly now.

Bringing this back to attention. Seems to work on the pages themselves, but the Wiki words on another page not showing the customized punctuation/grammatization is another issue it seems.
