The Contribution Information help page on Filmography Credits / Characters links to "Ghost Busters" (sic)
On the "Filmography Credits / Characters" contribution information page of help.imdb.com, the section "Character descriptions must be limited to the context of the film" ends with this example:
As a special case of this, if the character name in the credits contradicts the character name seen or spoken in the film (for example, Winston Zedd(e)more in Ghost Busters), we list the character name as it appears in the credit, and note the discrepancy as a continuity goof.It's probably bad practice for the official policies on data formatting to ignore their own rules. While the film's compound-word title may at various times be styled as either "Ghostbusters" or "GhostBusters", it's certainly never two words.

Check the AKAs at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087332/releaseinfo#akas
It's bad to show it as Ghost Busters in the Help Guide
But never say "never"

Yes although everyone thinks of Ghostbusters as this is visible on certain posters the title as it appears on screen is Ghost Busters. It looks like the primary title was at some point incorrectly converted to Ghostbusters. I've returned this to the correct Ghost Busters now though to align with our policies.
Regards,
