Forum:DWM Issue 000/DWM

I was looking on the Series 6 page recently and I saw that someone had tried to create a DWM link but instead of DWM Issue 432, they did DWM#432. I've had a look around the Panopticon archives and I couldn't find any posts or dicussion that concerned the issue. All I'm saying is that it would be a bit easier if we started using "#" than "Issue". I know that the whole point of DWM is that it is a magazine and it comes out in Issues (work it out for yourself) but then again, "#" would be easier and more practical to use. This is just an idea.

 * It's a technical impossibility. Please see the last point in the section tardis:Manual of Style for a detailed description of exactly why we name issues the way we do around here.  A hash/pound symbol simply can't be used in MediaWiki software to name articles.  Now, personally, I don't understand why we don't just drop the word "issue" from things.  I think it'd make a great deal of sense for these articles to be "DWM 34" and the like.  The word "issue" is redundant and somewhat unexpected, especially as it's capitalized.  00:25:43 Fri 18 Mar 2011
