I do agree that the suggestion makes more sense than our current format - having the title in bold and page in italics is kind of arbitrary and just extra hassle - though it'd be a colossal amount of work implementing the change. The only things I'd change that in the case of anthologies, maybe have the main title and short story in the same order as game levels or comic issues just to keep the same logic consistent, rather than have the short story come first. Also, in regards to citing Phoenix Logs or other similar sources, I think it would be more consistent with the format (with e.g. game level citations) to put the quotation marks on the specific entry being cited, as in <code>Phoenix Log – "Atriox"</code> rather than <code>"Phoenix Log" – Atriox</code>. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 00:01, 5 September 2017 (EDT) | I do agree that the suggestion makes more sense than our current format - having the title in bold and page in italics is kind of arbitrary and just extra hassle - though it'd be a colossal amount of work implementing the change.

:Yeah, definitely a lot of work, but I wouldn't recommend anyone going out of their way to make the change, only doing it when creating new articles or rewriting current ones perhaps. And the reason I have the short story listed first in the citation is so the format makes it clear that the page listed is "page x" within the anthology, rather than the short story itself. But I agree with the Phoenix Log suggestion, it makes more sense that way. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 00:46, 5 September 2017 (EDT) | |||
