::As far as the titles: the boxes certainly aren't in any sort of sentence case...but thinking about it more, I suppose these are pretty clearly set titles, so title case does actually make sense. (If that seems obvious, sorry; it often comes up here that some random term could be assumed to be capitalized—but we can't ''assume'' that. I kind of had my wires crossed, in short.) That said...I still think we should maintain consistency, one way or the other... (FWIW, it's also a huge assumption to say that the box has the most accurate form of the title. What you put for the series 1 title should illustrate that very well all by itself. There's a good handful of different ways that some of the sets are described differently in different contexts. I would say that the only thing that could be really "accurate" would be an order form or invoice or something for shops that actually bought the cards.)

::For the Archives, I'm not sure if a direct override is possible. But if you just want to make a gallery on some site or upload a ZIP somewhere, someone else could simply do the uploads as a sort of "proxy" for you. But, myself, I didn't exactly "want" to do other things either when I discovered I couldn't just upload at the Archives; but if you really want to upload there, then you can put in some time to find a bit to do. There's a whole [[a:Archives:To-do list|to-do list]], as well as a [[a:Category:Pages needing attention|Category:Pages needing attention]].

::I don't really see how it's that huge of an assumption to take what's printed on the box as the set title. The topps company typically prints the title directly on the box.  An order form could just have something abbreviated for convenience. Either way I don't seem to have the capability to change page titles.
