Coul we put refrences(episode names) on the bottom of the page it would be less crowded and make a little more sense not that it doesn't make sense. Also the Star Wars wiki and Marvel database have in universe style can't we do that on this site?--The 10th Doctor 23:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- I personally prefer the titles where they are now, myself. I never noticed them making anything crowded, plus it's a lot handier than having to scroll up and down the page repeatedly to find out episode names in relation to events. --Colleyd 04:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)Woof
- I don't think we should adopt the Footnote system, I agree with Colleyd it's a lot more handy and easier to follow to the pages they're referencing when the page link is right there.
- Not to dismiss the Wookipedia out of hand I had a look, and it seems even busier (than our current format) (specifically I looked at Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. The marvel database page seemed to have a much more fluid approach to dealing with in/out of universe information.
- Additionally footnotes are used in the out-of-universe (real world) pages see The Dark Dimension, where there is more import to have everything referenced using the footnote system. --Tangerineduel 14:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
