:::"Mayoi no Mori" is actually an ''incredibly'' common generic description in Japanese media iirc, comparable to [[Dry Dry Desert|Karakara Sabaku]], so I wouldn't put too much stock in it myself. As for your first question, see [[Smithy Factory (world)]] for an example.

::::Not least of which would be the [[Toad Town#Names in other languages|situation]] with [[Toad Town#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|the ''Super Mario RPG'' equivalent of Toad Town]], or you can count {{world-link|8|bowser3|World 8-Bowser's Castle (Super Mario Bros. 3)}} in several releases of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' for the earliest instance.

:::::That's the point I was making, bring up some other place(s) for splitting/merging/moving using Japanese naming and there come the rationalizations why it doesn't sound like a strong reason to. At least Mayoi no Mori is used as a name in like two games, Karakara Sabaku is instead caught in policy bureucracy. Also Smithy Factory is a bad example since 1) SMRPG doesn't use an in-game system for naming locations and 2) it's a name from a strategy guide.

(''I started this in response to KCC's comment just above but this turned into more of a general point, and it's not exclusively aimed at him'') I was initially going to add a longer reason for my oppose vote but this attitude from some people on the support side (and the proposal itself) is exactly what switched me off from doing so, and I'd imagine plenty of other people on the oppose side are in the same boat. There's no need to be so condescending about this, especially considering it's a trivial thing which basically boils down to each voter's opinion whether the two being different in the Japanese version should matter to us or not. | (''I started this in response to KCC's comment just above but this turned into more of a general point, and it's not exclusively aimed at him'') I was initially going to add a longer reason for my oppose vote but this attitude from some people on the support side (and the proposal itself) is exactly what switched me off from doing so, and I'd imagine plenty of other people on the oppose side are in the same boat.
