Need to retitle article for the Movie "Self/less"
We need to reassess how to title the main-page article Self/less, the 2015 science fiction movie because the slash in its title is being interpreted as a subpage of the article Self, as this talk page demonstrates. Perhaps in the title the slash needs to be a space with a tophat explaining how the movie styles it. Love Robin (talk) 22:34, 1 October 2015 (UTC)


 * , per WP:NC-SLASH, "Therefore if an article has a forward slash in its name, its corresponding talk page may display a redundant subpage level-up link at the top (for example, Talk:Providence/Stoughton Line has a link to Talk:Providence at the top)." It says this but offers no solution. Doubt there is anything we can do. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 23:24, 1 October 2015 (UTC)


 * After reflection on it, My suggestions are to retitle, in order of preference, as "Selfless", "Self-less", or "Self less", and then state in the opening paragraph how it is styled as. There may be a disambig page to address, and *maybe* we can make this page a redirect? Love Robin (talk) 00:49, 2 October 2015 (UTC)


 * But why do anything at all? WP:NC-SLASH mentions Providence/Stoughton Line as an example, with Talk:Providence/Stoughton Line looking like this talk page does. From what I can tell, reviews of this film include the slash in reporting the title, so it is not like converting an all-uppercase title into something titlecase-based.

 * There are plenty of articles where the title is not an exact match for the actual. For example Scorpion (TV series) which is noted as stylized as . At any rate, this is the purpose of talks, to discuss things. Love Robin (talk) 01:56, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
