In normal text and headings, the word ''and'' should be used instead of the [[ampersand]] (&); for example {{xt|January 1 and 2}}, not {{!xt|January 1 & 2}}. Retain an ampersand when it is a legitimate part of a proper noun, such as in ''[[Up & Down (album)|Up & Down]]'' or [[AT&T]]. Ampersands may be used with consistency and discretion in places where space is extremely limited (i.e. tables and infoboxes). Quotations (see also [[MOS:QUOTE]]) may be cautiously modified, especially for consistency where different editions are quoted, as modern editions of old texts routinely replace ampersands with ''and'' (just as they replace other disused [[glyph]]s, [[Typographic ligature|ligatures]], and abbreviations).
