I don't really feel like getting into Wikipolitics, but I'll just say that as of 2.5 English, the secret video is indeed "Birth by Sleep" with that exact capitalisation.

:::Here's the difference: "Birth by Sleep" the video versus ''Birth by Sleep'' the game. Remember that game titles are in italics. And I think it's alright to use quotes for the video. That's how we could differentiate the two. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 18:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
{{RikutheBloody|time={{User:Master Riku the Bloody/Sig1}} 19:12, 13 January 2015 (UTC)|angry=What does everyone mean by navi templates? I know what one is, but what are we talking about here? Also, I refer back to ANX219's quote, using "one". My teacher says that when referring to a non-gender, use "he". I don't see any problems. Its not like any guest is going to stare at the picture captions all day, or say anything about being sexist. Right? We should just use "himself", and "he". I heard that was the absent of genders. ~Love Riku.}} | |||

*'''Pronoun:''' "One" is actually a viable pronoun (and actually ''one'' that my friend suggested to me), but isn't that usually used if the sentence begins with the subject of "one"? And by that, I mean this. Compare: "X allows the user to raise the Keyblade above one's head" and "X allows one to raise the Keyblade above one's head". All in all, I still hold that "they" is the most appropriate pronoun to use. | |||
*'''Captions:''' Agreed that character names are used if the command is exclusive; otherwise we go with "the player". | |||
*'''Game titles:''' In a forum long long ago, we already agreed that we could use shortened names (''Kingdom Hearts'', ''Chain of Memories'', ''Birth by Sleep'' etc.) as long as the full name has already been used in that section/page once. When I said "in full", I meant not using the "BBS" abbreviation which I still don't think we should do.}} | |||
{{KrytenKoro|Without wearing too much of a social justice hat, there's ample academic consensus on a "default he" promoting internal sexism. Wearing my pedant hat, I also don't like using "he" if you can be referring to a woman. | |||
"One" just sounds...incredibly pretentious, especially for possessives, and is best used with imperatives anyway.}} | |||
{{ANX219|time=02:32, 15 January 2015 (UTC)|text=One is always going to sound stuck up. (Is there a pun there or..?)}} | |||
