Nori Mori: While the custom title problem is an issue, I'm not sure why you're so worried about that particular Darth Wiki page. The custom title displays properly on the page. It only has three wicks, and Unpublished Works aren't supposed to have wicks outside Darth. Those three wicks are within Darth Wiki. If the work is ever published (as in, become available to th public), it will have to be moved to a different namespace anyway, so you'll be free to submit the custom title for that namespace and have it work properly. Therefore, I don't think you beat yourself over a broken darth wiki custom title.

[up] I'd still prefer that the links on those three wicks showed up the way they're supposed to. Is that so wrong? And if I wait for it to become published before it has a working custom title, I'll be waiting for years, probably. It's not like I'll be finishing it anytime soon.

[up][up] I wondered if that's what he meant — I'm just amazed he doesn't seem to know already about the namespace bug, people have been going on about it for a while, trying to get his attention.

Then, you can pothole the borked title into the correct one. [[DarthWiki.HalfLifeWorldLine Half-Life: World Line]] will give you Half-Life: World Line. The general problem may take a while to fix.

I know I can pothole it. I'd just really like to fix it so that I don't have to do that. :(

So is this all fixed yet now that the website has been migrated to a more memory-reliable server?

Looks like some of them were just undone again. Or maybe it was just my pages (World Line and my troper page). I dunno. Here's hoping my custom title request works this time. *crosses fingers*

UPDATE:

Nope. *sigh*

I think it might be a good idea to have a sandbox page for pages that need custom titles added or restored, but I'm afraid that some moderator will cut it because tropers can just use the custom title tool themselves (and get no indication that it is working or will continue to work).

I've noticed that for some works the custom title just doesn't work if it has punctation.

[up][up] Was it defined as "VideoGame.StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople" or "Videogame.StrongBadsCoolGameForAttractivePeople"? Notice the different capitalization of "VideoGame". The first breaks custom titles, the second does not.

I've noticed that on normal-type pages, the custom-titles work with braces. See, I don't know, Removing the Rival. It's a problem endemic to YKTTW.

Custom titles don't appear in YKTTW, same as they don't appear in Ask The Tropers, Lost and Found, and YKTS.

As it turns out, braces only work for some titles.
