Common Name rules are in effect for this release. The name you put can be put into alt-name.
Hi Tripredacus
Thank you for your answer.
That's the point. Actually, the games' official names are Super Genjin and Super Genjin 2. Chou Genjin and Chou Genjin 2 should be the alt-names...
Once again, thank you for the reply.
re:
https://vgcollect.com/item/42783You can put the actual text in box text.
In description you can put the actual title like so "front title: 超原人 - スーパーげんじん" but you can't put in a translation there.
Alt-name should be 超原人 - スーパーげんじん, Super Genjin, Super Bonk
(box title, translation title, localised title)
Unfortunately, since this is so limited, I would not think it would be worth to create a common name exception, since that takes a community vote. Otherwise, if you can get GameFaqs to use the correct title, then we can use it here too.
We aren't interested in having to teach people how to read or translate foreign languages. Also it takes a burden off of site staff from having to weigh what is important for non-natives and native speakers, and having to have some sort of understanding of the language in question, translation, transliteration and romanization.
Fortunately (for native Japanese speakers) the common name rule only applies to
releases that can be found on GameFAQs. Releases that are not, which then would have no point of reference, can be named in the way you are thinking.
But basically understand that when we say this about how titles should be put, we aren't saying that you are wrong. We just have to accept that the community is not that interested in correctness of titles. And the rules in the style guide are mainly to work around the site's limitations. For item names, we only have 1 thing we can put, so we have to make a rule about it. Otherwise, people would put a name in (maybe from the box, or the spine, or the title screen, or what it says on gamefaqs, or a romanization, or a translation, or a transliteration) and while it may be correct, someone would come along and change it to something else.
I recently found out that Wii Sports has two standard variants with different disc numbers, packaging numbers, and box text. I had created a new listing for the missing variant earlier this afternoon and put in much effort in transcribing the heavy amount of text for both item listings. Now, the item listing I had created has been deleted. The item listing I had originally created was here. Is there any reason why Wii Sports in particular cannot have two separate listings to detail the variances between them despite the three reasons listed above that give reason for it to exist?
Here is an image of the original listing's back packaging, with back item number C\RVL-RSPE-USA-2. This variant was packaged with the black Wii.
Here is an image of what was the variant listing's back packaging, with back item number 62022A. This variant was packaged with the white Wii.
Yes, there are multiple versions of Wii Sports. In EU there are at least 4 and in the US there may be at least 2 also. I didn't see the entry, so I can't say. Another DB Admin must have done something to it.
