I Cross-Dressed for the IRL MeetupI (♂) Crossed-Dressed for the IRL (♀) Meetup – fix typo to match name used in news coverage/primary sources, additionally create a redirect without special characters at I Crossed-Dressed for the IRL Meetup. UnscathedWagon (talk) 01:56, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). – Ammarpad (talk) 10:04, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @UnscathedWagon: "I Crossed-Dressed" is broken English. And we generally do not do special characters in article titles unless they are universally used in sources. So this is not uncontroversial at all. No such user (talk) 08:02, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see, we will most likely have to wait and see if any reliable sources choose to use this title instead of the official one then. --UnscathedWagon (talk) 11:43, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose due especially to the special characters (see WP:TSC). Perhaps consider "I Dressed Up Like a Woman and Joined an Offline Meetup", if there are any sources that have that. I'm also not fond of the capital letter after the hyphen, which is against MOS:CAPS. The basic problem is an apparent lack of English-language sources. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:20, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as written per WP:TSC as special characters should not be in the title. As for "I Crossed-Dressed..." or "I Crossed-dressed..." I have no opinion over whether they should be preferred to this title. Link20XX (talk) 14:59, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per WP:TSC, but mention the stylization in the lead. We should also not use the suggested "I dressed up like a woman..." as that's a translation of the Japanese title, not the actual English title of this series.--AlexandraIDV 16:42, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
