It looks better, and is generally how the dates are written, but I'm not sure if this will cause problems with necessary links and that.

:Actually, you can also make it look like that in page titles. See [http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/711 here] for an example. What I did was I typed a random date into Word, pressed backspace and got onto the small upper bit and typed in the number I wanted. However, if you just type it into Word and copy and paste, it should work. ☆<span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span> 21:43, July 17, 2010 (UTC) | |||

I've been wondering. I've changed a few of the numbers on pages to include the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4ths to look like this: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th. Now, should I continue to change these, or should I not bother. It looks better, and is generally how the dates are written, but I'm not sure if this will cause problems with necessary links and that. Perhaps if we didn't do it to those numbers that needed links, but those that don't link could be changed to that. Opinions? The Thirteenth Doctor 21:23, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
