::: Using or not using an "s" after an apostrophe is not something we should be trying to write a policy about. This is a bloody Wiki about ''Doctor Who'', not the Oxford Dictionary. Both are acceptable under British English. | ::: Using or not using an "s" after an apostrophe is not something we should be trying to write a policy about.

::: Besides, as it stands, if we go with "s" after an apostrophe ''now'', we ''will'' have apostrophes with and without "s" following them, as we've been doing without them as a convention as dictated by policy, so to save on work, how about we just... allow both? <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 18:29, 16 April 2022 (UTC) | ::: Besides, as it stands, if we go with "s" after an apostrophe ''now'', we ''will'' have apostrophes with and without "s" following them, as we've been doing without them as a convention as dictated by policy, so to save on work, how about we just... allow both? <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 18:29, 16 April 2022 (UTC) | ||
:::: What's so hard to understand about style guides? They're not restricted to dictionaries, every publisher has one, and ours is a fraction the size of {{w|WP:MOS}}.
