2. Now that we have infoboxes containing both genders, it would only make sense to use gender-neutral pronouns.

== Italicizing partial series and abbreviations in titles == | |||
Currently the MoS only speicifies that game titles and such should be italicized in text. It doesn't say what should be done for them in article titles (using the DISPLAYTITLE feature). We should probably close this gap. | |||
The current de facto standard appears to be that titles are italicized if the entire article title is the game/series title, or is only followed by (series) or (universe) or similar. This means titles like "List of SSBB trophies (Yoshi's Island series)" have no italics, while "''Yoshi'' (universe)" does. While I personally think this is fine, it is indeed inconsistent, and perhaps we should change it. | |||

Should the "Yoshi's Island" in "List of SSBB trophies (Yoshi's Island series)" be italicized? | |||

#I vehemently oppose this idea simply because I think it looks bad, especially in cases like (''SSBM'') where the letters lean into the parentheses. It would also be a lot of work with no real benefit.
