I think I may have asked this somewhere two years ago, but I don't remember the answer. How do we resolve the difference between [[TARDIS:Manual of Style#Capital letters#Italics#Series and episode names]] and [[TARDIS:Manual of Style#Citation#In-universe articles]]? One tells us "An Unearthly Child" is correct; the other, ''An Unearthly Child''. It seems to me like serial names are far more commonly italicized, so should we make a move to delete that part of the MOS that says differently? I've got other thoughts about this subject, but let's get past the serial names first.

:Ah...yes. This has been on my to fix list for some time. (It just comes from how this wiki started and how it developed and the changing styles as it all grew, bits of the manual of style based on various things here and there). I'll now fix it to state that story names are italicised. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:25, 23 April 2009 (UTC) | |||
