Typo in title

The page's title has a typo in it (Should be Peter's, not Peters's). Is it worth it to redirect the page to remove the typo? Wormsoft98 (talk) 08:03, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This relates to an earlier discussion – should we follow common names as they are written in sources (my opinion) or "fix" them to conform with some perception of what is the most correct spelling. See [1] and browse down to "Genitive of a name ending with "s" in species names". I would be in favour of moving the article – ideally to the scientific name, but alternatively to "Peter's threadsnake" as that is the spelling used by IUCN and RDB, despite this being "wrong" in the sense that the name presumably refers to "Peters".
