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. Trek can now function as verb, and due to the lack of demarcating colon, Into Darkness may no longer imply a subtitle to the series title Star Trek but instead be part of the phrase Trek Into Darkness. In regard to prior Star Trek film titles, star Simon Pegg dictated "How do you get past the curse of the ":"? You get rid of it altogether. Trek ain't a noun, it's a verb. STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS MAY 2013" Paramount's initial marketing synopsis used Star Trek Into Darkness as a declarative phrase and began: "In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness." In reference to a webcomic lampooning a lengthy debate over the title's orthography, The Daily Dot writer Kevin Morris characterized the situation as "a swirling maelstrom" and recognized director J.J. Abrams' propensity for clever marketing tactics, speculating that "perhaps Abrams knew what he was getting into when he gave his film such a grammatically bizarre title."

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.
