I don't believe they are on most pages, I'm guessing that's just how they were formatted on the page you navigated to them from (the site code probably knows to delete spaces and capitalize first letters, but not to uncapitalize every letter after the first). I'll Kill You! and Ninja seem to format normally.

No, Tabs is right. When you hit the Related tab, which ignores whatever formatting the title had when you came in and shows you how it is by default, you get Main.ILLKILLYOU and Main.NINJA

Bad capitalization on creation; not common for tropes, but it happens.

Correcting it can be done through the Pages In Accidentally Miscapitalised Namespaces process.

It's more complex for tropes in Main/ since a moderator must make the final move of re-creating the page, and it's not popular since it wipes out the whole History of the page.

I would say, unnecessary in this case since the custom title takes care of it.

@sgamer Ah, fair enough.

But yeah, I can imagine this coming up before, in that case, and being left as-is for the reasons ^ mentions.

And even so, most people are going to use I'll Kill You! and Ninja, with caps and lowercase, anyway.
