Forum:CT Archive/Naming policy change

I think there should be a rule to use in titles (unless when it's specifically determined). Titles of books, movies, or games usually have a subtitle, like:

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

Star Wars Dark Lord: Rise of Darth Vader

Normally, 'Star Wars' is separated from the rest of the title in italic, but since the Wiki writes the whole title in italic on articles, there is nothing separating the brand 'Star Wars' from the rest of the title. Sometimes, titles are found without any type of ponctuation, or use the colon twice (which is not very correct, gramatically). I suggest that we use the colon to separate the brand 'Star Wars' from the title, and use a dash to seperate the title from the subtitle. Using the examples above, it should stay like this:

Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Star Wars: Dark Lord - Rise of Darth Vader

Or when there is no subtitle, just use the colon:

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

What do you think? Many companies use this style on their catalogue. Alexrd 18:09, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
