' vs ’ in article name references
editI absolutely prefer ' to ’ as an apostrophe character in texts on Wikipedia, but when referring to an article, shouldn't the actual name of the article be used? Even if it has a type error, spelling error or similar. Am I overly nitpicking? -- Henriok (talk) 06:28, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- I presume that User:Citation bot is following Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles of works § Typographic conformity, which points to Wikipedia:Manual of Style § Typographic conformity (MOS:CONFORM), which says:
- Convert apostrophes and quotation marks to Wikipedia's style:
- These should be straight, not curly or slanted. See § Quotation marks.
- Convert apostrophes and quotation marks to Wikipedia's style:
- That section of the MOS should also cite Wikipedia:Manual of Style § Apostrophes; they both say that straight, not curly, forms of those punctuation marks.
- If that's what the bot is doing, the right place to discuss that is on Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles of works.
- If that's not what the bot is doing, and it's changing those characters due to an overzealous interpretation of the MOS, the right place to discuss that is on a page such as User talk:Citation bot. Guy Harris (talk) 07:00, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
