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.)
Changed it to the full title. Is it not called Supermarioglitchy's etc. etc.?

What was the custom title at the time of the post? Right now, it looks like it's fine.
Creator.Grev Ltd is currently custom-titled as "G.rev". That's not allowed, right?

Even SMG4 himself just calls the show “SMG4” now.

That would be grounds to move the page, not custom title it.
Canadian Equals Hockey Fan now has an equals sign in its custom title.

In that case, I actually think the equals sign works. It’s not a full sentence so it actually reads as an equation.
But this post by Fighteer says not to do that.

It feels a bit unnecessary. I'd revert.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

I know, and I was one of the proponents of that rule, so I can't really argue against it. What I'm saying is just the equal signs works in the sense that it doesn't look out of place, so I personally wouldn't mind if an exception was made.
But making an exception here risks setting a bad precedent, so I guess it's better to follow the rule and revert. I certainly won't mind that either :)

I re-submitted the old title.

Given the multiple occurrences of pages being "moved" by custom title, should I make a sandbox to assist with cleaning them up?

ComicBook.Dan Slott Spider Man is custom-titled as "Dan Slott's Spider-Man".

Plus it's a "Creator's Title" situation, so it would have to be moved regardless.
You can use the Collisions thread to request moves, if mods aren't watching this...

Moved to where?
I'm helping!
ComicBook.Spider Man Dan Slott, probably
unless it has an official disambiguating subtitle somewhere

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Good freakin' griefer
An _____ was added to On the Next.
Looks like such an unnecessary custom addition.
Your receipt. You can keep the freakin' change.
Angry babby
I think an ellipses would fit better. Most custom trope titles I've seen don't use an underscore like that.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Oversized Garden Ornament
Underscores are decidedly non-standard punctuation and should not be used here. An ellipsis would fit since it actually indicates a missing word.
Lost in Space
Ugh, why are we approving this shit? Get rid of that.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
I noticed that "Romantic" Two-Girl Friendship now has quotes in its custom title. Should they be there?

the Retromancer
Why on earth that happened?
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
(she/her)
Well, that’s what the TRS for that trope agreed upon. I think it was to highlight the fact that the romance in the trope isn’t real.
Macron's notes
Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers is custom-titled to Supermarioglitchy4s Super Mario 64 Bloopers, which is definitely not kosher. Wouldn’t it be easier to just move the page?
