Yes, but why should the Wiki have formatting that isn't in FS?

Just have all-italics ala GTD thingy if you need italics; nice, simple and easy to pick out.

Yep. Actually, it's canon, too *judging by the backside of my FS2 retail box*

If we had to consider canon the box:
1.) The Lucifer is encountered also in FS2 (there is one just at the right of the first Deimos' top turret)
2.) The Deimos is a destroyer (the nameplate on the corvette says "..D Deimos")
3.) The Deimos is also an AWACS ship (on the backside of the box there is written "GTA Deimos)
4.) Beam weapons can be used also by fighters ("Learn to use beam weapons...")

Indeed But in this case, we're in lack of any better source of information..

I only follow the way Wikipedia does it, and it's the way it's considered proper English. It's complex, yes, but it's the proper way. Why FreeSpace doesn't italicize these names is simply because FS's engine does not support italics.
