MarioWiki talk:Japanese

Is this a Writing Guideline or not? It is linked to from the policy page yet it doesn't belong to the category.-- 17:24, 8 December 2011 (EST)


 * The page has been under construction and was being developed largely by . But as he seldom appears in the Wiki now, the page is unfinished. You should talk to him about this topic.
 * I'm not sure if there was much that needed to be added anyway. However, I've been wondering if it might be better to make this page just "MarioWiki:Japanese" and reorganize it a bit, since it already has aspects of policy that go beyond plain romanization. On a policy note, I also think we should just use plain Hepburn and allow long え and い to be romanized as ei and ii as well as ē and ī - that's what all the other wikis do, iirc. It might also be a good idea to just let proper names/titles be capitalized in foreignname, since that's how most people try to enter them anyway, and from what I've seen, Wikipedia, Bulbapedia and Zelda Wiki all capitalize names even if they're not used in the article's title. - 00:03, 9 December 2011 (EST)

English capitals
If an English letter appears in Japanese text, should it be written literally in the romanized text (A, B, C, ...) or rendered in Japanese pronunciation (ē, bī, shī, ...)? A gossip-loving Toad (talk) 03:59, 4 February 2016 (EST)
