:Have you seen how I arranged the information in [[User:Anatole_serial/Nue_Houjuu_(Template_Test)|This Sample Page]]? It's more streamlined and organized, without having many small-ish Main Sections, and taking all the subsections that are too small into a more general area.

::Mmm... yes, that looks better than the Mokou page right now. Still, I think the reason is because not enough information is put into the Nue page rather than too much info in the Mokou page. I tried [[Kogasa_Tatara|this]]; but I must admit, it's basically your layout, with minor tweaks.[[User:Jimreynold2nd|Jimreynold2nd]] 07:57, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I think this was mentioned at some point earlier, but can we change the Japanese character titles in the infoboxes back to English so it's more immediately apparent? It seems kind of odd to leave them in Japanese, in my opinion. [[User:NForza|NForza]] 14:54, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
:Well, from what I've gathered based on looking at [[Sakuya Izayoi|Sakuya's]] edit history, the [http://en.touhouwiki.net/index.php?title=Sakuya_Izayoi&action=historysubmit&diff=211419&oldid=211016 character titles started out in Japanese]. I'm all for changing them to English while preserving the use of [[Template:H:title]] though. Just switch the two parameters around and it'll be fine. [[User:K|K]] 21:17, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah, that would be fine, too. [[User:NForza|NForza]] 11:14, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
:::Done. [[User:K|K]] 19:44, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

:::Pretty much. Side note - currently we use kana spelling (most names), sometimes modified/no macrons (Gensokyo) [[User:Kiefmaster99|- Kiefmaster99]] 16:18, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Regarding recent edits, I found that some edit using '''yūrei''' instead of '''yuurei''', so is this the new guideline of writing such words? - [[User:KyoriAsh|KyoriAsh]] 04:54, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Why do we use "Gensokyo", anyway? The guidelines ''specifically'' say things like that are bad, and yet it's there as a giant exception to mislead and confuse. [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 02:04, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
:It's A) the most common, popular spelling. And B) used in PCB. But frankly, I wish we would, as well. Due to our romanization policy it's the most accurate fit. Also, as seen when we previously changed some spellcard and song translations from what's popular to what's accurate, much to the dismay of the internet, we've shown that we don't really care for what's popular, anyway. Furthermore, even with our own romanization standards we basically disregard what ZUN wamts and what's used in official Touhou already. So IMO making Gensokyo the exception is kind of arbitrary and that it ''should'' change. [[User:UTW|UTW]] 12:31, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

::::Second point is needed because it supports the fanon. It seems quite important to talk about whether or not things are supported or not supported in canon - as for all other fanon.--[[User:Tosiaki|Tosiaki]] 02:07, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

:::::There is nothing special about being an interesting companion (could apply to any/most characters), plus in fanworks anyways this is very subjective. [[User:Kiefmaster99|- Kiefmaster99]] 02:09, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
::::Perhaps it doesn't sound quite special due to the translation. The original Japanese had something more like "it is fun together with her."--[[User:Tosiaki|Tosiaki]] 02:15, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
:::::Well, any fanwork author can twist characters to be like that though.
:::::On a different note, there is no need to assign titles to fandom facts, or if we are, English convention is preferred. Adding "ability to the extent of" would be awkward if the rest of the English fandom doesn't use that term. [[User:Kiefmaster99|- Kiefmaster99]] 02:26, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
::::Well, given how the canon is important for doing derivative works, it seems important to note if such things do exist in canon, and if one doesn't really need to twist anything (since it is actually canon).--[[User:Tosiaki|Tosiaki]] 02:33, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
:::::Then the same could be said about her clothing, use of Master Spark, etc. Save it for things that may seem weird to a person. [[User:Kiefmaster99|- Kiefmaster99]] 02:39, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
::::The reason why it is given is because it is given right after talking about how in canon, she has been stated to be an annoyance and doesn't get along with magicians. This is to show that in canon, it can actually go both ways.--[[User:Tosiaki|Tosiaki]] 02:42, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
:::In any case, notability seems to be subjective. I remain unconvinced, but other editors may think otherwise. [[User:Kiefmaster99|- Kiefmaster99]] 03:33, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
== Group column (Lyrics article) for compilation albums ==
I've come across various lyrics pages from compilation albums, like the ones from ''[[とらのあな]]'' or ''Reitaisai Official Compilation Arrange CD Production Committee''. However, they all have a different content in the "| group=" column, for the Reitaisai ones it's only ''Reitaisai 7 Official Compilation Arrange CD Production Committee'' (e.g.[[Lyrics: -Ultired-|this one]] or [[Lyrics: U.N.オーエンはJIMANGの彼女なのか?|this one]]), but for the Toranoana ones I and [[User:Tegamin|Tegamin]] have decided for ''Toranoana/CIRCLE NAME'' (e.g. [[Lyrics: Cloud nine|here]]) because we thought it would make sense to put both, the album publisher (which is Toranoana in this case) and the circle's name due to the category (which will appear on the bottom too).
Even so, we noticed edits by [[User:Quwanti|Quwanti]] who has deleted the ''[[とらのあな]]'' labels, so that the circle's name is the only one in this column. And now we're confused, which one is right? Is there a reason for the changes? And does an official guideline exists and if not, I'd propose to discuss one. Otherwise it's quite confusing to us editors. [[User:Mai88|Mai88]] ([[Usertalk:Mai88|talk]]) 15:55, 28 August 2014 (CET)
:This is also applicable on those compilation albums who are published by a single circle who has its own songs, but also include tracks by other artists ([[現夢|two]] [[ありす†ほりっく|examples]]). Anyway, I propose to put in the "|group=" field just the circle who has actually made the song and put the circle/label who has published it in an album as a category (with [[Category:]]).

== Signature policy ==
Does this wiki have a signature policy like many other wikis? ([[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Signatures|Wikipedia:Signatures]] is a good, comprehensive example.) ‐⁠‑'''''[[User:SilSinn9801|<font color="red">Silent Sinner in Scarlet</font>]]''''' ([[Special:Contributions/SilSinn9801|SilSinn9801]])⁠[[User talk:SilSinn9801#top|&#x1F4AC;]] 02:05, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
:I'd say WP's signature policy extends to here, just not explicitly spelled out.  Feel free to propose additions to the guidelines in that sense, if you'd want.  [[User:Mami|Mami]] ([[User talk:Mami|talk]]) 02:20, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
