The General rules section is too messy

I believe the section Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Trademarks#General_rules to be very confusing in its current state. I think it should be reformatted into a table, or more distinct sections. It feels like a bunch of different rules stuck together. FaviFake (talk) 10:05, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. It was more clear before your changes. – The Grid (talk) 18:57, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I changed nothing in the way the content is displayed. Do you think it would be better formatted as distinct sections, or as a table, or something else? FaviFake (talk) 19:14, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would wait until the discussions with xkcd are closed. – The Grid (talk) 14:54, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

...is that a yes? The ongoing discussion on xkcd is not about the formatting of a MOS page, it's about a policy issue. I'm not suggesting we change the guidelines. FaviFake (talk) 15:23, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's a no because you're still changing a page that's relevant to the discussion. – The Grid (talk) 15:37, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh nono I wasn't going to reformat it myself, I never wanted to. I created this section to ask other people if they agreed and wanted to do it themselves FaviFake (talk) 16:00, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict with guideline on citations

Just a note I started a thread at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources#Conforming citations to Wikipedia style regarding guidance which appears to conflict with MOS:CONFORMTITLE, MOS:CONFORM, and MOS:TMRULES, if anyone here is interested in participating. -- Beland (talk) 03:50, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
