Italics in italics

Usually when an italicized word is used in an italicized phrase, the convention is to put the italicized word in normal type. Using an example from Italic type#Italics within italics, "I think The Scarlet Letter had a chapter about that, thought Mary." Based on that should the example on the project page be changed from:

The Giver is a 1993 American Young-adult fiction-Dystopian novel by Lois Lowry. It is set in a society which at first appears as a utopian society but then later revealed to be a dystopian one as the story progresses. The novel follows a boy named Jonas...

Note that I've also made "young-adult" and "dystopian" lower case.

For me this frequently comes up with the scientific names of genera or species which are in italics. For example:

The point of the italics in the hatnote is to show that it is not part of the actual article, so any other formatting is confusing. Btw "Fiction" is redundant with "novel" and "society" with "society". Siuenti (????) 23:56, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
I agree with the OP. This has always bugged me, especially given italics is already prescribed in <h1>DISPLAYTITLE</h1> and on disambiguation pages (even with piping where necessary), suggesting italics is preferred even when referring to a Wikipedia article, not just to the concept or term it's about. I think it's a huge inconsistency and they should be in normal type. Nardog (talk) 13:38, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Acceptable use of hatnote?

In many music-related articles, the text will use one of several "shorthand" notation systems to indicate musical pitches, e.g. Helmholtz pitch notation and Scientific pitch notation. For the benefit of readers unfamiliar with the systems, I thought of making a hatnote template or templates that would generate messages like:

Is this an appropriate use of the hatnote formatting? Should anything else be added to the text?--Theodore Kloba (talk) 16:33, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Remove hatnote linked from mainspace to other namespace (usually project page)

The hatnote on mainspace that linked to project page maybe confusing some readers. We should prioritize readers over editors. Just because its Wikipedia doesn't mean that you can link the similar term that only the editors community know, it may violated WP:SELF. Example: Village Pump, Word-sense disambiguation, Sandpit, Style guide, etc. Hddty. (talk) 15:01, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
