Revision as of 21:34, 24 June 2017

How should Japanese names be input in English moegirlpedia?

Given names come first, or family names come first?
For example, Mikoto Misaka or Misaka Mikoto? I'm used to the first one, while some users prefer the last one. (However, if it's a name in the history, I would use the last one, too. For example, Abe no Seimei. And if it's a Chinese name written in Japanese, I would choose the last one too, for example, Chō Soran, Riku Suigin)
Use which romaji?
How to show chángyīn? For example, Tomā Kamijō, Toma Kamijo or Touma Kamijou?
Before b, p, m, ん, n or m? For example, Tenma Gabriel White or Tem'ma Gabriel White? Nanba or Namba?

If I come up with some other ideas, I will put here, too.
