Surname Capitalization Issue

Question

Maybe I'm just not using the right search terms, but I am not having any luck finding out how to change the capitalization of a surname in a profile.  The URL is correct for https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Martin-64261, but the profile shows his name as "John Martin formerly martin."  Is there a way to correct this without doing a full change of LNAB?

Comments

A quick guess after looking at the profile.  That is the way it is spelled on the edit version of the profile on the line that says last name at birth with a ? mark after it.  Try changing that spelling.  martin to Martin

I have requested to be added to the trusted list, so I can't try that until approved, but wouldn't that be a LNAB change?  I thought we should avoid changes that will cause redirects whenever possible...

It will be a change from martin to any other form in my opinion.  You are right, that you cannot change it unless you
get clearance, and in the mean time some one else may have a better answer.  I made it a comment so people will still read it and not think it had been solved for you.

Hi David. When I recently faced a similar case, I'm sorry to say that I found no way to capitalise a last name at birth that incorrectly started with a lower case letter, other than the full LNAB change process (undesirably generating a redirect).

This is a pity, because as illustrated by your example

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Martin-64261

the WikiTree ID Martin-64261 already has a capital letter, even though the LNAB doesn't. You'd think there'd be a way of fixing the LNAB without changing the ID, but if there is I couldn't discover it.
