I could rehash all of talking points from all these past decisions, but I think we could just take the simple route here and have Nathan take a look at the offending template and see if we can figure out were the issue is. We don't need to alter our naming conventions, and create a bunch of work renaming articles, when we can fix the template that seems to have done it's job for 10 years now.

I agree with these in regards to changing naming conventions just to accommodate (if that's the correct word) an issue or bug in our templates. If I were to make a comparison, it would be like us having a vehicle, where the tires aren't the most convenient or comfortable to drive with on the local roads around us. But instead of changing the tires, we instead try to change the roads that we are driving on to make them suitable for the tires. It does fix the issue, but it's a bit too much work compared to the other option, and the original issue is still there in case something similar happens in the future.

And let's for the sake of argument go ahead with renaming things that has "Marvel's" as part of their name. It would only be a temporary solution since, what do we do in the event of there is a new show in the future that has a possesive as part of its title? Like some ideas off of the top of my head, 'Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur's Adventures in Battleworld' or 'MJ: Spider-Man's Girlfriend'.

I decided to do a check, and the only shows we have pages for that has an apostrophe that aren't "Marvel's", are Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (Animated Series), Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes, and Forging Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D.. Interestingly for the last one, the right slide shows up in its episode pages, but the DPL error is still present. While the first two shows has both issues. And I'm assuming we won't change those to be "Earths" and "Worlds" instead, or make it ’ instead of ' (since I don't have the former on my keyboard) since I don't know if that would fix it or not.
