'''[[User:CzechOut|<span style="background:blue;color:white">Czech</span><span style="background:red;color:white">Out</span>]]''' [[User talk:CzechOut|☎]] | [[Special:Contributions/CzechOut|<font size="+1">✍</font>]] 20:12, June 22, 2010 (UTC) | ::You may be wondering about the practicalities of making these changes, especially considering such things as {{tl|DW}}. Well, changing the instances as they exist right now is fairly easy. You just build a file which contains all the names of all the various stories by type, including markup. So, the file will contain, <nowiki>''[[The Gift (short story)]]''</nowiki>, ''et al'', and you set to replace <nowiki>''</nowiki> with ". That's pretty straightforward, though there is some time involved in creating the master list, of course. Then you have to consider ''future'' use and change the templates accordingly. With most of these templates, it's no big deal, because you simply go to the ones relating to shorter fiction, like {{tl|ST}} and {{tl|TN}}, and switch the single quotes for double quotes. What's slightly harder are {{tl|BFA}} and {{tl|DW}}. There, you have to build a switch thing so that it looks for individual titles identified as being single episodes. Then you tell it that if it finds, say, Tooth and Claw, that it should put double quotes instead of two single quotes. This will require occasional but easy maintenance as new titles are added.
