Does anyone else thinks it's ''silly'' to put this template atop the pages for medias like ''[[Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[La planète de Donkey Kong]]''? It makes sense to have something to flag elements like enemies and objects in a game, a sign that says "Hey, we don't have an englisn name for this enemy yet. Maybe someone could check if this thing is mentioned in an english strategy guide or a website?", but putting this template for works of fiction whose "foreign" name is so well-known it would be counter-productive to try to translate it at this point (as with ''Doki Doki Panic'') or a programming block that, due to its very nature, is never going to be translated in another language and given an official english title (as with ''DKTV''), because "they're not in english" is short-sighted and obscures the purpose of the template. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 15:41, 5 June 2018 (EDT) | Does anyone else thinks it's ''silly'' to put this template atop the pages for medias like ''[[Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[La planète de Donkey Kong]]''?

:I agree with this. Drop it from foreign media places with official names like [[Super Mario-Kun]] or your aforementioned examples. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 15:51, 5 June 2018 (EDT) | :I agree with this.

::And maybe, in the future, have more quality control for this template, including using scenarios in which this template should and should not be used. Plus, Super Mario Kun '''is''' the manga's English name, or at least so it says in ''Super Mario Maker, so we could remove the template there for starters. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 18:06, 5 June 2018 (EDT) | |||
