Line 96:

* ''[[The Perry Bible Fellowship]]'' apparently used to run into this confusion, as Nick Gurewitch addressed the question [http://web.archive.org/web/20071111013344/http://www.pbfcomics.com/author.php?link=faq in an old version of the FAQ page].

{{quote|Q: "The Perry Bible Fellowship", or "Perry Bible Fellowship"?

A: ''The'' PBF. Treat it like a rock band though. For instance: "I own a White Stripes album", not "I own a The White Stripes album". }}

* (The) [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|Angry Video Game Nerd]]

* On [[The Other Wiki]], battles have sometimes raged over whether to use the "the" in an article title. ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' (the TV series) has it but ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]'' (the comic book) doesn't. The official [[Manual Of Style]] says:

{{quote| Do not use A, An, or The as the first word (Economy of the Second Empire, not The Economy of the Second Empire), unless by convention it is an inseparable part of a name (The Hague) or it is part of the title of a work (''A Clockwork Orange'', ''The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien'').}}
