To change a work page's name, create a brand-new workpage under the corrected title and copy-paste the entire work page to the new one.

Do not blank the old page. Put it on the cutlist, explaining in your reasons that the work has been translated and you've moved the content to the official title. The cutmasters will take care of removing the old page.

The next step would be to correct all the wicks across the wiki to the new title... which won't be hard, seeing as it has all of five.

You will also need to move the subpages, such as YMMV and Characters, to the new title as well.

I believe it would be better to turn the current page into redirect. Better than cutting a page. Especially if it's an official English title too and if the work has been published under it before.

Turn the work page into a redirect and cutlist the subpages after moving them to the new title.

I've gone ahead and gotten the ball rolling at LightNovel.Accomplishments Of The Dukes Daughter, but the original work really needs some Cross Wicking. There's only five, only one of them isn't an indexing wick or redirect, and that one is a pothole in a fanfic page's Shout-Out entry.

Also requesting a mod to please move Discussion on the Common Sense Work Page to Accomplishments

I forgot to check if there were any reviews to move.
