		I've been always wondering about apostrophes next to titles written in italics: the are mostly written as ''Final Fantasy Y'''s which is actually wrong as it puts the first apostrophe next to game's number in italics (output: Final Fantasy Y's) and I am trying to fix it to ''Final Fantasy Y''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>*(The coding messed upa display a bit) which will not make the apostrophe be written in italics (output: Final Fantasy Y's), but there are some who change the code to ''Final Fantasy Y's'' which is even more weird (output: Final Fantasy Y's). So I am now wondering if I should really bother fixing it. I know it's kinda trivial, but it's been bugging me for a while. Is there an article you think is of an exceptional quality? Vote for it here!

		Can't say I have ever paid any attention to this. :/ ''Final Fantasy'''s is how I've been doing it, unless there is a bolded part coming.

I do neither. It looks much nicer and much easier to say "[thing] in Final Fantasy Y", or "[thing] of Final Fantasy Y".

I.e. "enemies in Final Fantasy II" over "Final Fantasy II's enemies". Avoids all problems. 79.69.194.177 00:31, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

JBed's right here. Do whatever causes less of a mess. -- Some Color Mage ~ (Talk) 00:33, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

The <nowiki/> tag is useful because it makes it possible to separate apostrophes, like so:

Blah Blah's blahs

But personal preference: Blah Blah's blahs sounds bad. So might as well just use Blahs of Blah Blah as they said. C A T U S E 06:11, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
