Use
italics for the title or name of books, movies, albums, TV series, magazines, ships, major orchestral works, and court cases. If the title is also a link, you should usually place the italic markup outside the brackets, but see the
Titanic example below for a special case.

- ''The [[Mary Tyler Moore]] Show''
- Life magazine, Astounding Science Fiction
- ''Life'' magazine, ''[[Astounding Science Fiction]]''
- RMS Titanic, only the name is italicized, not the classification. This link will require a pipe character (a "|"), as italics tags will not work within a link

- ''[[Symphony]] No. 9 Op. 95 'From the New World' ''
