So, answering your questions:

For me, the use of "il" mostly depends of how big the words of the story title are. Sometimes, mostly when stories contain big words, like The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did makes the infobox look weird, such as Dorothea Ames'

I do think it's good to use prefix before every story. Look at Dalek of human origin: these appeared in TV, Audio and Prose stories. Probably, we'd rearrange the stories if we were to use prefixes only once, but I don't think thats entirely necessary, and would also bring quite a lot of effort to change.

One more thing I'd like to bring to discussion. Anthologies (prose and audio): when adding them to lists, should it be as a new heading, like here (one heading for Extinction, one for Shutdown and one for Silenced) or just using an asterisk, like here?

I'd personally rather have headings for anthologies, as it would mostly create Table of contents, which makes navigation easier for big lists. I mean, it's very harder to find "Infernal Devices" now than it would be if we used headings there.
