Page titles or namespaces that need capitalization fixes

Go To

This thread is here to process pages that have been discovered with the wrong capitalization, such as Ymmv instead of YMMV. Both namespace and title errors are fixed here.

Please put the request into "* NameSpace.Foo to Namespace.Foo" format.

Please list out any subpages that need fixing as well. You can use the auto-disambiguator to check the capitalization of all the pages under a given title. For example, to check the capitalization of pages under the title "Foo", you can go to A.Foo (or any other non-existent namespace under that title).

If a request or several are left unprocessed for some time, click the holler button on the upper-right of the post to send a request for moderator assistance.

A little question now that we have this tool: what about titles using partial or complete ALL CAPS?

My understanding was that it shouldn't be done, as ALL CAPS in a title is reserved to indicate acronyms (like with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or The Man from U.N.C.L.E.). Plus they're usually pointless because the title often requires a custom title anyway.

Seeing the Super Mario 64 example above, it seems to be acceptable to request change for these. So, is it wrong if I request changes for the following?

[up][up] You're correct. All caps in a wikiword is reserved for acronyms.

BRATS Of The Lost Nebula is located at WesternAnimation/BRATSOfTheLostNebula, but the custom title makes "Brats" title case. The page image has "BRATS" in all-caps, but are the wiki words not supposed to have words in all-caps unless it's an acronym?

Some search results are giving the title as B.R.A.T.S. of the Lost Nebula, but I can't tell if that's an actual in-work acronym or a misinterpretation of the title.

[up]I have doubt it fits in the WesternAnimation/ namespace too. Puppet Shows mostly belong in the Series/ namespace, even if using some animation.

All caught up.

ALL CAPS in a title is reserved to indicate acronyms
That's my understanding as well, with "Em-star-aiy-star-ess-star-aitch" popping into my head every time it happens. For Brats, I'm making a decision based on the Muppet wiki and deciding that the "acronym" and all-caps are inconsistent stylization choices. It's a problem that I've seen occur since the 1930s, so nothing new about that. Also, muppets, so I'm in favour of it moving to Series.Brats Of The Lost Nebula (waiting on consensus for the namespace move).

Note that pages like Non-Standard Game Over will not display correctly with the new capitalization, due to the custom title bug. The alternative is to move it back to Main.NonstandardGameOver and change the custom title to "Non-standard Game Over".

[up] Agreed, which is why I made the move in the first place.

PlayingWith.Bestiality Is Depraved and Main.Bestiality Is Depraved apparently have their pages under Bestiality Is DepraVED, and are using a custom title to hide it.

~crazysamaritan - So, the custom title blanking bug wasn't actually a bug?

Can we still use it to clear out custom titles like Fanfic.The Wardsof UA thing?

I know it's just an archive, but Iamnotmakingthisupdiscussion really need to be properly capitalized.

And Archive.Trope Over Dosed if that is allowed. (Also submitting custom title to Complain About Shows You Dont Like Discussion to see if it'll be accepted)
