I don't know if this is the correct place for what I'm proposing... if it isn't, try to let me know!

(1) How can you change the way in which an existing page's title is displayed? Specifically, the page for LeBron James is displayed with his name as "Le Bron James" instead of the correct "LeBron James".

(2) I'm pretty sure I can do this one myself... but the page for Johnny Halliday has his name wrong. He has always spelled his stage name as "Hallyday". (In fact, I was the troper who changed the page text to reflect his correct stage name.)

I Wiki Worded the Le Bron James page, but it looks like we need to actually move the John Hollyday page and make the misspelling a redirect (to preserve inbounds).

Or are we fine with just wiki wording the John Hollyday page and making the correct spelling a redirect?

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

Never use a custom title to change spelling, except if diacritics or ligatures are involved. Redirect the page to the correct spelling instead.

~KY Cubbie: This is a bit too general a thread. I recommend that you ask about any such change in Ask The Tropers.
