Please let's write video game titles in italics like ''Pokémon Scarlet'' and ''Violet'' (instead of non-italics like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet). | Please let's write video game titles in italics like ''Pokémon Scarlet'' and ''Violet'' (instead of non-italics like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet). | ||

Bulbapedia is the only NIWA wiki that does not use italics for game titles, right? The italics game titles are used by Mario wiki, Kirby wiki, Metroid wiki, Smash wiki, etc. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 03:48, 7 November 2023 (UTC) | Bulbapedia is the only NIWA wiki that does not use italics for game titles, right?

: I would agree that we should have included this in the manual of style when setting up the wiki, as it is a convention that makes sense and is followed on other wikis. Unfortunately, nearly 24 years have passed since the wiki was opened, and we currently have {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles, a large portion of which are going to include at least one game title somewhere in the text. Changing it now would be a massive undertaking, and even using bots wouldn't be a great idea, as there are going to be exceptions that we would want to make (e.g. within templates) that are too nuanced for bots to handle. If you can figure out a way for us to easily update every instance of a game title on the wiki, then we can look into this further, but at the moment it will have to stay in the "maybe someday" pile. - [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 22:51, 7 November 2023 (UTC) | |||
