User:SchreiberBike/Workspace/Italics of websites in citations and references

My intent is for this page to have the wording and plans for an RfC and for discussion to take place on the associated talk page. Feel free to edit below and to discuss changes at the talk page.

The proposal below is to be posted at Help talk:Citation Style 1.

The rfc will read, putting it in "Wikipedia style and naming" and "Wikipedia technical issues and templates".
