::The film title, Star Trek Into Darkness, is grammatically ambiguous in light of traditional use of the series title Star Trek and raised questions concerning the stylistic intent of the title's authors with respect to possible interpretations of the title's constituent structure and orthography.{{cite web|last=Carter|first=Jeff|title=JJ ABRAMS HATES COLONS, WILL 'STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS'|url=http://geekleagueofamerica.com/2012/09/10/jj-abrams-hates-colons-will-star-trek-into-darkness/|accessdate=2 February 2013}}{{cite web|last=Yamato|first=Jen|title=Star Trek 2 Gets A Title: Where Does It Rank In The Franchise?|url=http://movieline.com/2012/09/10/star-trek-2-title-jj-abrams-sequel-star-trek-into-darkness/|publisher=Movieline|accessdate=2 February 2013}}{{cite web|last=Melrose|first=Kevin|title=Star Trek Sequel May Have a Title, But Nobody Knows What It Means|url=http://spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2012/09/10/star-trek-sequel-may-have-a-title-but-nobody-knows-what-it-means/|accessdate=2 February 2013}}{{cite web|last=Kaye|first=Don|title=J.J.

{{cot | Collapsed Justification for Inclusion }}

• Community Principle: It may be the rules and standards need revising or expanding; perhaps what the newcomer is doing "wrong" may ultimately improve Wikipedia.

----------------------

• WP:SUBJECT - If publicity regarding an article is significant, that information would not be included in the article, unless it is relevant to the topic of the article itself.
• WP:UNDUE - Treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. It should be easy to name prominent adherents.

----------------------

• WP:TOO_LONG! - Content should not be removed from articles simply to reduce length.
• WP:COMMON - Even if a contribution "violates" the precise wording of a rule, it might still be a good contribution.
• WP:BURO - Do not follow an overly strict interpretation of the letter of policy without consideration for the principles of policies.
• WP:BEBOLD - Just do it!

----------------------

• Author Statement: The new paragraph is a brief, Encyclopedic, accurate, well-sourced, relevant, and neutral overview of the inherent ambiguity in the phrase Star Trek Into Darkness that deftly handles the topic without putting unnecessary emphasis on Wikipedia.
• The Author's Manifesto: "You can edit this page right now" is a core guiding check on everything that we do and we must respect this principle as sacred. Most rules are ultimately descriptive, not prescriptive; they describe existing current practice. They sometimes lag behind the practices. The spirit of the rule trumps the letter of the rule. The common purpose of building a free encyclopedia trumps both.
