The Trailing punctuation in trope custom titles
thread, as well as many, many discussions over the past ten and a half years, have made it obvious that we need a centralized discussion thread for page titles. I intend for this thread to be a place to both discuss titles and request they be changed.
(If you're looking to capitalize an existing wikiword, there's a different thread for that.)

Your request for FamilyTreeSeries is declined - if you want to rename it to The Family Tree Series, that needs a move request for adding "The", not a custom title.
See How to Move a Page for more details.

Your request for FireToWaterAFathersLove is declined - if you want to rename it to Fire To Water: A Father's Wish, that needs a move request for the wish/love change, not a custom title.

Your request for RegularShowS02Ep22OverTheTop has just been declined - if you want to remove the 0 & p and rename it to Regular Show S2E22 "Over the Top", that needs a move request, not a custom title.

Your request for ArthurS15E7MuffysClassyClassicsClubBestEnemies has just been declined - if you need to add a 0 and rename it to Arthur S15E07- "Muffy's Classy Classics Club" / "Best Enemies"", that will require a move request, not a custom title.

The page title for Batman vs. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seems to contain a spurious definite article.
(Don't know if this is the correct thread to point this out.)
On a different subject, Pitfall! is custom-titled with an exclamation mark, but that was only used for the first game as far as I can tell.

Your request for CatFishAndTheBottlemen has been declined, at least for the moment.
If Catfish should be one word rather than two, the better option may be to take it to Page titles that need capitalization fixes.
Using a custom title is likely to confuse people, as it will only be applied if the capitalization matches the page name - which means they'd still have to use capital F in CamelCase every time it's linked.

Manga.Story Of A Dumb Prefect And High School Girl With Inappropriate Skirt Length has the incorrect Wiki Word of The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length

Is that possibly due to the length of the full title? This ATT suggests that using custom titling to display the full title is okay when the entire thing is too long to use.

Your request to rename RileyMcDaniels has been declined.
What was the aim of renaming it to "Riley [=McDaniels=]"?
We don't put that sort of markup in page names.
Sorry, I do want renamed from Riley McDaniels to McDaniels without a space between the c and d. I just forgot how to format that in the request. So I need to resubmit?
he/him
Please - sounds like you just need to request "Riley McDaniels"?
Done, although nothing has happened yet

Shen vs. Kai has three words in the custom display that aren't present in the page url. I'm under the understanding that this isn't allowed, so I assumed that this was an older change that just sort of passed under the radar?
Yeah, that's not allowed. I put in a new one.
How sweet it is
~viatorem, your wiki word request for Messages for Dad will be rejected; you're replacing the title with words not in the name. I'm not sure why you submitted the request to replace the page title with Wham Episode?

Probably a copy-paste fail. In any case, I've submitted the intended title, Messages for Dad.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

Ah, sorry, i'm still new and grappling with how everything works here...
I wanted to add an extra separate page named wham episode, just like awesome, nightmare fuel, etc.

It means you've mistaken a custom title request form with creating a subpage, for which you need to edit the URL address to be the empty page you'll be editing.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what that means...

What's going on with Music.Fleetwood Mac White Album?
It appears as Fleetwood Mac (Fleetwood Mac (White Album)).

Someone approved someone's invalid custom title.

The Wii Baseball World Cup (WebVideo.The Wii Baseball World Cup) is incorrectly moved by custom title.

Fixed. You can just submit a corrected title if you see a case like that.

Declined the request for Frankenstein2004. If you want to change it to "Frankenstein (2004 miniseries)" rather than just "Frankenstein (2004)", that's going to need a page move, not a custom name.
