Dionus' timeship?

There may be a point in the style-guide suggesting this, but it seems fundamentally silly to me that we should propose to go with "Dionus' something" to discuss elements and plot details of a series literally called Dionus's War, with the "S". What do other people think? Scrooge MacDuck 15:12, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

I proposed a change to the style guide quite some time ago which led to nothing coming of it. If the forums return, I'll definitely be bringing it up again, especially since we have to say "Fitz' noun" when every book I've come across says "Fitz's noun". Jack "BtR" Saxon 15:15, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
I'm not sure this is so radical as to necessitate a Forum thread if we can build a consensus on this talk page — particularly if the proposal is to amend the policy with something along the lines of "On this point, default to what stories/titles use if they do use something else than what the guide would prescribe, the guide will just serve as the default if necessary".

In which case, I'd support it. I'm always having to go back over what I've written to change "TARDIS's" to "TARDIS'" and the page name of Vera Juarez' brother pains me. Jack "BtR" Saxon 15:21, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
I support that amendment. I can't see any downside. Bongo50 15:25, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
