Edit
...Or "episode links" are a template format we use to distinguish episodes from their redirects or alternate meaning titles sharing the same name as an episode. I'm not sure if anyone has actually created an MA Help: page that explains this any better, but I thought I would bring this up because I noticed on your user page you used the original namespace for the episodes you listed rather proper namespace, where they are placed, as you may or may not have noticed, Tin Man and "Tin Man" don't go to the same place.
Your examples (and I am ignoring wiki formatting):
[[The Doomsday Machine]], [[The Defector]], [[Yesterday's Enterprise]], [[Way of the Warrior]], [[The Inner Light]], [[In the Pale Moonlight]], and [[Tin Man]].
Should be:
{{e|The Doomsday Machine}}, {{e|The Defector}}, {{e|Yesterday's Enterprise}}, {{e|Way of the Warrior}}, {{e|The Inner Light}}, {{e|In the Pale Moonlight}}, and {{e|Tin Man}}.
Also for films, [[Wrath of Khan]] can be {{film|2}}.
Just wanted to bring this up to you rather change the links without an explanation, like which is usually done. :) --Alan 15:50, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Re:Vandalism Edit
No problem. I seemed to arrive on scene to see whoever it was just as they were beginning. They've stopped now, thankfully... DaveSubspace Message 22:37, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
