When to use italics. Added non-Yu-Gi-Oh! specific examples of when to use italics and quotation marks, since they're not that commonly know.
* Monster (when used by itself or after types of Effect Monsters, such as Gemini or Tuner)
* [[Remove from play]]
==Italics==
In prose terms which should be written in italics, include:
* Books
* Games
* Films
* Musical albums
* Rōmaji text
* Series
* Sets from a game
Shorter works such as episodes, chapters and musical compositions use italics instead. Traditional games like [[chess]] and scriptures like the [[Book of the Dead]] are not written in italics or quotation marks.
==Quotation marks==
In prose, card names are always terms which should be written in quotation marks. e.g. "[[Dark Magician]]". When a portion include:* Card names** Portions of a card name that may refer to a group of cards is used, it is also written in quotation marks. e.g. "[[Elemental Hero]]".* Chapters of longer works * Episodes of TV series* Instrumental compositions* Songs
If the last word in a sentence is within quotation marks, the period is only placed inside the quotation marks if it is part of the material being quoted. If the period is not part of the quoted material it is left outside. The same applies for other commas, question marks and exclamation marks. This practice is known as '''logical punctuation'''. In the United States and Canada, it is more common to leave periods and commas inside the quotation marks irrespective of whether it is part of the material being quoted. This practice is known as '''traditional punctuation'''.
