The slash actually is missing from our FSN page, though? Or are there plans to mass-rename it to include the slash and bring in line with Wikipedia's naming?

The slash was removed (by @Looney Toons, if I recall correctly) because of how MediaWiki handles subpages.

If it wasn't for the fact that there are other Fates (the Fates from Classical Mythology, Fate Averruncus from Negima, Fate Testarossa from Lyrical Nanoha, the titular Doctor Fate, and so on), I'd suggest turning "Fate" into a franchise page for Fate/stay night, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya, Fate/Zero, Fate/hollow ataraxia, Fate/Grand Order, and so on - which would let us restore the slash to the FSN pagename.

Since the other Fates do exist, Fate needs to remain a disambiguation page and we can't use it as a franchise page. I think.

Yeah, as I recall we went back and forth on that a few times some years back -- enough so that I forgot which was the actual page and which was the redirect (hence my change and immediate revert).

We experimented with using the DISPLAYTITLE magic word to make the page name look right, but it didn't work, because the slash is part of namespacing and DISPLAYNAME basically won't misrepresent the page by making it look like it's located somewhere else than it actually is. Right now the way we have things, while unsatisfying, is probably the best solution within the context of the wiki and its focus.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
