What?! You want it to be referred to grammatically incorrectly?! That seems quite inconsistent with your previous complaints. "Perl Monks Approved HTML" isn't even a noun phrase! It is a sentence talking about some action of several individuals.

Are you worried that there are humans with pattern recognition that will fail to find "Perl Monks Approved HTML" (Tags) when searching for "PerlMonks-approved HTML"? I don't believe the vast majority of humans are so easily thwarted by such slight variations in spacing, punctuation, and capitalization.

The node would have been retitled long ago except that there was a desire to not break links that already existed based on the old, grammatically broken title. At some point, somebody will do the inconvenient but not substantial work to grandfather the old title so the real title can be corrected.

There is more "below" than just that one, specific link. And the purpose of the "above" text is not just to try to get the visitor to find that link. We already covered that we want to convey "please write in 'PerlMonks-approved HTML', like the above examples". And you already covered that using grammar correctly is important when trying to convey information.
