Talk:Bataan (disambiguation)

To User:Tobias Conradi, okay, Where in WP:MoS did it say that the piping to add italics is wrong? It says in both Manual of Style (disambiguation pages), Manual of Style (titles) and Manual of Style that it's recommended. --seav 22:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * sorry Seav, you are right. I thought it was different on MoS:DP. Either it was changed or it was only stated somewhere else - or it was wholly my mental invention ;-). best regards Tobias Conradi (Talk) 11:01, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

It says in Manual of Style (titles) and echoed on Manual of Style:

Italics should be used for titles of the following:
 * Films
 * Ships

Example
 * RMS Titanic, USS Minnesota (BB-22), Apollo 11, The Legend of Zelda series. Only the name is italicized, not the classification or designation. This link will require a pipe character (a "|"), as italics tags will not work within a link
 * RMS Titanic, USS Minnesota (BB-22), Apollo 11, The Legend of Zelda series

And in Manual of Style (disambiguation pages):


 * There is no need to emphasize the link with bolding or italics, although titles (such as for books and movies) may need to be italicized, in conformance with Manual of Style (titles).

Piping Don't pipe the name of the links to the articles being listed (for example, Moment (physics)). In many cases, this may be all the user needs to distinguish the article.

Exceptions:
 * 1) Use piping if you're linking to an anchor point on the target page.
 * 2) Use piping if the article title differs from what it should be due to technical limitations per Wrongtitle; for instance USS Adder (SS-3) or LATEX.
