Second, nothing is said about italicising the series - the section is about game names, titles of an actual piece of released media only. In fact, I think it's better if references to the series aren't italicised, so that every time you see ''Pikmin'', you know it must be the game we're talking about. "Pikmin" without italics, then, could be the species or the series, but those are easier to differentiate between from the context, IMO. <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span> | Second, nothing is said about italicising the series - the section is about game names, titles of an actual piece of released media only.

:You mean that in headings, seeing as we shouldn't format them, we should instead write "Pikmin (game)"? I guess that can be helpful in some cases, as opposed to just "Pikmin". As long as "Pikmin 1" is never seen in this wiki, that's great, as "Pikmin 1" doesn't exist. As for italicizing the series' name, I... sort of made that up. I just thought it'd look better, but after having italicized it in the ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' article ([http://www.pikminwiki.com/index.php?title=Pikmin_3&action=historysubmit&diff=64025&oldid=63910 link]), I figured I should reconsider.

::If you read the policy, you'll see that it was agreed to prefer ''Pikmin 1'' over ''Pikmin (game)'' in ambiguous cases (page titles, headings, etc.); discussion's [[Forum:Policy#Pikmin 1 / Pikmin / Pikmin (game)|here]]. And that's what I was saying we should do. | |||
::Yeah, it does look like a bit too much: I wouldn't italicise Mario or Zelda either. I note this isn't from your edit, but why would IGN and the like be italicised? <span style="font-family:times;">'''''[[User:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#080;">G</span>]][[User talk:Greenpickle|<span style="color:#050;">P</span>]]'''''</span> | |||
