Alright, fine, storylink is banned. That doesn't solve the problem, however...

I STILL request a change in the general rules for episode linking, for I don't believe simply using a normal link will do. It doesn't stand out, and I often see it being used in ugly ways, which are more confusing than informative.

Like your example on the previously linked Manual of Style:

In The Gauntlet, Bradford and Xever are mutated into Dogpound and Fishface.

Imagine a member, new to the franchise, come by and read this. What would their thoughts be? Hmmm, Bradford and Xever went to some place or city called the Gauntlet and was mutated!? Or perhaps, the Gauntlet refers to a special time or event, that occurs every five years, and during this, they were mutated? I could come up with a lot of such examples.

I hope you see my point - it does not stand out in its current looks, and thus it does not, in any way, specify that it links to an actual episode. People are left to wonder, why capitalized letters and whatnot suddenly appears in a link, that looks like all the other links.

And even if you want to keep this simple way of linking, then let's not hesitate to make it official. That's all I want. I want the admins to consider the best possible way of linking to an episode, and then make sure it is used everywhere.
