===Stop using the "''Names in other languages''" on this wiki=== | |||
<span style="color:gray;font-family:Comic Sans MS;font-size:150%">DELETED BY PROPOSER</span> | |||
First of all, I don't think the "''Names in other languages''" is very useful. It just lists the names in different languages. Second of all, you can change the language on the wiki (I've done it before). And third of all, a lot of users just focus on this section of every article. What I think is the "''Names in other languages''" should only be on articles of games. Why can't you just change the language on the wiki and see everything in that language? I think it should'nt be on articles that are subjects to games, I think it should only be on articles on games (''Mario Kart 8'', ''Paper Mario'', etc.) | |||

====Support==== | |||
#{{User|ShyGuy8}} Per my proposal. | |||
====Oppose==== | |||
#{{User|Gabumon}} There is no reason to arbitrarily remove valid, relevant information from articles. | |||
#{{User|Walkazo}} - Stripping legitimate, interesting information from thousands of articles is a ludicrous idea. | |||
#{{User|Boo4761}} Per Walkazo. Can't say anything else why I'm opposing other than what Walkazo said. | |||
====Comments==== | |||
Why remove content from the wiki? Are you saying that direct translations are an ideal replacement, even when we have translation variations within languages (differences between French Nintendo of Europe and French Nintendo of America? Translations might help more international readers and also provides information for the curious and those playing games in other languages. It's removal of meaningful content for no gain specified, so I don't think this proposal will go anywhere. This is a pretty big change, so you need very strong reasons if you expect people (like me) to support. {{User:Mario/sig}} 00:03, 8 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
1) <b>...<i><u>What</u>?!</i></b> 2) If you're referring to the affiliated [http://www.mariowiki.net/wiki/MarioWiki:Hauptseite German] and [http://www.mariowiki.net/wiki/MarioWiki:Hauptseite Italian] wikis as "changing the language", they're not the same thing as the English wiki and there are a bunch of other languages that the section template includes (not to mention it seems there's more of a conscious effort here to strictly archive the official). 3) This would be ''damaging''. If enough users find the translation/localization process interesting, why take a big part of that away? The section is there to relegate foreign names, so why go through the monumental effort to ''censor'' an important piece of series history? [[:Category:Articles with titles from other languages|If all these articles rely on foreign names,]] do you suggest only using foreign names whenever it's convenient? Etc.

OK, I don't think this will work out. I just thought it was'nt that useful. Okay, I regret making this proposal. I am truly sorry, I just changed my mind on this. I just figured out that if this proposal won, it would be VERY damaging. I don't know what else to say. | |||
