This is going to be so much fun.
So what's the best way to deal with this? Make a new one with proper title, copy paste the entry, and turn this into a redirect?

According to The Other Wiki, Bandai Namco Holdings was the parent company for Bandai Namco Studios (developers) and Namco Bandai Games (distributors) until 2014, when the distributors were renamed to Bandai Namco Entertainment.
Presumably our article was named for the distributors. It probably should have been named for the studios. (Since it's a creator page.) And in any case, should definitely be renamed now.
Not really a repair shop issue, though.

I always thought trope naming issues are posted here.
Anyway, so the idea is to redirect then?

Ah, gotcha. A natural mistake. Trope naming issue do come here, but this isn't a trope.
For work and creator pages, we always want the correct name. So renaming them to correct errors is a free action, just as Work Pages Are A Free Launch.

All right, I'll create Bandai Namco Games work entry and copy paste the entry in Namco Bandai, then change that to a redirect. But what about links towards Namco Bandai?

For the basic page move, I strongly recommend reading How To Move A Page. There's a little more involved than just cutting and pasting the main page. Not a lot, but there's a few things you at least need to check.
As for the wicks? Hmm. Ordinarily, the answer is yes, all the wicks should be updated. But in the case where a company changes its name? Older works may be labeled with the older name, so suddenly I'm not so sure. Our default policy is intended to cover renamed tropes and actual errors in work/creator names. This isn't an error....
Honestly, I'd like a second opinion about the wicks. Maybe even a third. :)
All pages which do indexing should be updated in any case, though, because of the way indexes work.

I'd leave the non-index wicks alone.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
I think it's fine to leave wicks unmoved in such a case. Indexes must be moved as well as discussion and subpages, of course.

And done. Old name now redirects to proper name, updated Indexes containing the old name to have the proper name.
Man looking at its history, using both Namco Bandai Games AND Bandai Namco Games... goddamnit Bamco.

Goddamnit Bamco, indeed.
I'm going to lock this since we're evidently done.

So why is it Namco Bandai? Shouldn't it be Bandai Namco Games? Hell even the trope image uses Bandai Namco!
