This is technically about input validation on the form. It's an easy fix technically: a simple Javascript can look for spaces in the article tag (a very simple regex) and then warn the user to type the name in CamelCase instead of plain text.
Alternately, if there are spaces in the article tag the server could automatically compress it into CamelCase format during processing.

That is also a good solution, and probably more effective. We'd have to watch out for punctuation like commas, hyphens, and apostrophes in order for it to be effective.

New TRS will now have spaces stripped out of the article name.

Did you do that for IP too? It's a problem there as well.
Test thread
says yes.
Awesome. That's perfect! But will it remove punctuation as well?

I don't think so, but I didn't try.

Morgue'd the test thread and briefly created one of my own. Result: No, punctuation is not stripped out.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1395849598041001300
This is why I was wanting this to work for punctuation as well. Could we add that to the code, please?
We'll See About That changes to We'llSeeAboutThat, rather than WellSeeAboutThat as it should.

I can't blame people unfamiliar with IP and TRS for not knowing to do this, but it seems a lot of newbies keep not inputting the article title of the thread in CamelCase as they should. So when I click on the title to see what this trope's about, I'm redirected to the main page. This is an extremely annoying problem and is beyond frustrating. I'm tired of having to inform the thread creator of how to properly input the article title in the thread. Can we please add a message to the "Make a New Article" page telling tropers that they need do this? It would save everyone a lot of unneeded frustration.
