: I have to agree.  I originally wanted to have Japanese names included in some of the guides that I started but they kept getting erased.  Because honestly, you can sometimes find out a lot more about a game by Googling the Japanese name in Japanese than in Romanji.  I propose that we add an optional Japanese name field in the infobox so that I could, for example, add パックマン to the [[Pac-Man]] guide.

:: I would support that. In fact, I would like to see more Japanese support on SW as a whole. In the future, maybe we can add a http://ja.strategywiki.org or something; they certainly love strategy guides in Japan. <span style="border: 1px solid #888; padding: 1px">'''[[User:Echelon|<span style="color:#6f6f6f;background-color:#eee;">ech</span>]][[User_talk:Echelon|<span style="color:#6f6f6f;background-color:#eee;">elon</span>]]'''</span> 14:55, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Revision as of 20:55, 2 February 2007

No JIS?

I have to disagree on this one. I, for one, can read Japanese, and I always find it entertaining to see characters. Besides, I am very certain that StrategyWiki will grow to include import video games. To alleviate any sort of confusion that '???' renderings bring about, we could have a section similar to this and a matching template to go with it. Thoughts? echelon 14:20, 2 February 2007 (CST)
