| | Posted: | | | | Sorry if this has been discussed already.
Disney/Pixar's latest animation Walleee is just about to be released in DVD and Blu-ray.
If I have to guess, name of this movie can be cause some ping-pong on contributions.
I don't know is the poll needed but I hope that it doesn't make a harm.
Actual question is, how to write the title name ???
- WALL or Wall
- sign before E => Bullet, middle dot or regular hypen-minus | | | | Last edited: by JaLe |

| | Posted: | | | | If only because IMDb uses a stylized graphic character we should not.  The official site generally uses a hyphen in any text representation of the name. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | I would always try to follow the DVD/Blu-ray cover so looking at the link that tweeter gives, it would be WALL•E |

| | Posted: | | | | New filter has been added to replace • and · with - in the title only.
In addition, " -" will be replaced with "-" (space before dash removed) | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative | | | | Last edited: by Ken Cole |

| | Posted: | | | | So, Ken, if it's submitted as Wall(dot)E it'll be Wall-E when it comes out the other end? I can just imagine people resubmitting and banging their heads against the wall trying to get that dot to stick!  | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | In the case of profile updates, it will show with the dash in the contribution submission page, so they can see it before it is submitted. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

In addition, " -" will be replaced with "-" (space before dash removed) Oh, this is why my recent contribution of my full audit of the movie "Go" wanted to change the German title from "Go! - Sex, Drugs & Rave'N'Roll" to "Go!- Sex, Drugs & Rave'N'Roll". It is quite common for German movie titles to have an additional tag which is usually put after the title with " - " in-between (not to be confused with episode title). Would you remove this automatic replacement again? Would very much be appreciated. Thanks! | | |

In addition, " -" will be replaced with "-" (space before dash removed) This was a bad change since it breaks a lot of profiles where title includes original title and localized title for example: Title: The Village - Kylä Original Title: The Village Title: This Girl's Life - Erään pornotähden elämä - Original Title: This Girl's Life ..and so on... There are plenty of those EDIT: You create and remove filters faster than I type  Thanks for removing that one Ken. | | | | Last edited: by Kulju |

EDIT: You create and remove filters faster than I type Thanks for removing that one Ken. That's one of the server-side changes in 3.5 - a filter system that's easy to update without interfering with the live site. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |
