Description
It's a known problem that the site has problems to save game titles like Legend of Zelda, The - Link's Awakening. For some reasons the site changes the name to Legend of Zelda, The - Link''s Awakening after saving. But it's still possible to rename games correctly so they are shown correct on the site while using the HTML code ' instead of '.
The problem is that you can't add any hashes to games with this symbol in the name because if you do it the toolkits create a new entry with the name of the selected game before the symbol. So in this case every time you try to add a hash to the game a Legend of Zelda, The - Link entry will be created.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Reproduce the title-saving and hash-creation flow with the given game name, then trace how the toolkit handles the apostrophe; done means saving preserves the title and adding a hash does not create a truncated duplicate entry.
