What it says on the tin. He never did get it 100% right.

Jason --

Since I just dinged someone else earlier with a threat of a tempban for this, to be fair I have to share the pain. Your recent edit on Even Evil Has Loved Ones included improper markup for a work name -- no link, no italics -- and had an episode name in italics when it should have been in double quotes. This is not the first time I've had to clean up after you on something like this. In this particular case, we have a page for Magnum, P.I. that you could have very easily linked to simply by letting the autocomplete find it for you. With or without a link it should have been in italics -- a common omission in your recent contributions. Also, in this particular case, while we don't yet have a page for the work, we do have an established title/link for the page to be used when it is created: [[Magnum P.I. (2018 series)]] (The new series doesn't have a comma in the title, interestingly enough.)

In any case, you've been very sloppy in this regard, and as I said, to be fair to the other user whom I warned about this very issue, I need to warn you that future markup issues like this will merit an "attention getting" tempban. As Geth noted elsewhere today, we don't have a very large admin team, and we can't be spending all our time cleaning up after contributors. We require user contributions to adhere to our minimum style requirements.

This episode was on the Magnum reboot not on the old one. Has a new thread for the reboot been made yet?

Furthermore that episode was not the pilot. The reboot has been going on almost a complete season already and that particular episode is several episodes in. I do not know what I could have done to lead you to believe it was the pilot.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

...I do not recall how I ended up thinking it was the pilot episode; I have corrected that.

As I noted above, we do not have a page for the reboot series yet, but we do have a proper syntax for the link (and thus the page title), which is [[Magnum P.I. (2018 series)]]. This was used in the markup I inserted.

Sorry about all the confusion. And sorry that I messed it up. The fact is I did not know the proper syntax for a show which did not yet have a page, and was simply guessing.
