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.)

It was brought up in this post. It wasn’t discussed thoroughly but it was brought up. Renaming is just one of the options on the crowner.

Okay, thanks.

I tried to add "Tamagotchi!" as a custom title for Anime.Tamagotchi, but it got applied to all of the Tamagotchi pages (Franchise.Tamagotchi, Toys.Tamagotchi, and so on). Can that be removed?

Might be a good idea to take it to one of the disambiguation threads as well.

Have Annoying Video Game Helper always had a "-"?

No, and the hyphen feels unnecessary.

You Didn't Ask has an exclamation point. I don't think the trope is usually exclaimed.

Submitted the fix.
The quotes in El Spanish "-o"'s custom title don't make sense to me. Does anyone else think so?

It's to indicate the topic of discussion. I think it's fine.

Tropes That Go BOOM! currently displays as "Tropes That Go BOOM!", which I don't think is a good idea. It's an index, so it isn't as bad as doing the same for a trope.

I don't mind it, since it works for the onomatopoeia, but I also think that allcaps in trope titles looks ugly.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Main.Episode Zero The Beginning uses a custom title to display the "Zero" as a numeral: Episode Zero: The Beginning

Add it to the "unnecessarily spells out a number" pile. Still thinking of sandboxing that.
Another one: Film.The Twenty Fourth to "The 24th". The Twenty Fourth
Serendipitous — I was going to ask if Main.Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday (current: Dangerous 16th Birthday) and Main.Bittersweet Seventeen (current:Bittersweet 17) should be numbers.

And Main.Rule Thirty Four, Main.Rule Sixty Three, and far too many work pages to count.

As for the "Episode 0" title, aren't epsiode numbers often written with digits even when they are small numbers? It's at least more consistent to have digits for all episodes rather than switching from letters to digits halfway through the episode list.

I think they all need to be un-custom-titled and possibly moved to a Wiki Word with digits.

We are allowed to use custom titles to replace text with numerals; we just need to ensure the page is moved first, if possible.
(And another one for the pile: Ive Been Killing Slimes For Three Hundred Years And Maxed Out My Level unnecessarily spells out "Three Hundred" in the wikiword.)

The ”episode zero” one still needs a custom title because of the colon, doesn’t it?
Friends forevermore
Yes, but that's unrelated to whether the custom title should convert it to a numeral 0.

I mean I've just checked that TRS and didn't see the quotemarks being discussed, unless I really missed it, and renaming entirely was still an open question.
