:::Naturally, you put the punctuations inside of quotes, but when using them for terms is a different matter. Actually, one of my English teachers last year talked about this to the class and we had a small debate on it. I don't remember what the class said or he said in the end, though. My problem is doing this ("Woeflower.") is because I honestly don't like it as it makes no sense to me. By putting the period inside of the sentence, it's like you're quoting someone, and not truly ending the sentence. It's a peeve of mine, really. I do it in the US convention for school, because that's what English teachers told us to do based that whatever official society that decides these things. Honestly, it's not that big of a deal. We do use American English, after all, and that is like the only rule I take from the British/International English when writing stories.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 00:09, 31 January 2015 (UTC) | :::Naturally, you put the punctuations inside of quotes, but when using them for terms is a different matter.

==Updating our MOS== | |||
Hey guys. So, honestly, our Manual of Style is super out of date. As a whole, it hasn't been updated in a long time, so I propose that it's time to update it. I've started a draft [[User:KeybladeSpyMaster/Gadget Lab/Project Page 6|here]], but it's by no means complete (we're missing standards and formatting for Merchandise articles and all articles in non-mainspace), and there are some sections that I simply don't know how we cover them or what is expected in them (such as the Items and Equipment and Abilities sections). So I'm hoping we could discuss/define these areas so that we can update our dear MOS and give some more consistency on-site. One of the issues is that even our main games articles are not consistent, so that's part of why I'm doing this. Thoughts? {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 15:04, 7 July 2017 (UTC) | Hey guys.
