With the Fire Emblem Heroes: Choose Your Legends Page in existence, this seems like a good opportunity to update names on the wiki to their anglicized versions rather than the direct translations from NoJ? I think the inconsistencies can be confusing to newcomers (such as Ryan's page being Raian while Clarisse's page is still Clarisse despite her Kleine NoJ designation). While the CYL website isn't perfect, it seems sensible to use anglicized names where possible on the wiki to me. If Clarisse was listed as Clarisse on the CYL site, formerly referred to as Kleine, and then we updated her name once she arrived in Heroes under the name Clarisse, could we not use that as an indicator that what anglicized names exist on the CYL website should be treated as valid, official English translations? | With the Fire Emblem Heroes: Choose Your Legends Page in existence, this seems like a good opportunity to update names on the wiki to their anglicized versions rather than the direct translations from NoJ?

:I'm pretty sure the reason we don't use the CYL names is that there are inconsistencies between that and actual ''Heroes'' text. Like, with [[Thea]], she's called Thite on the CYL website and Thea in one of Shanna's written quotes. [[User:Xamad|Xamad]] ([[User talk:Xamad|talk]]) 16:02, 16 June 2018 (UTC) | |||
::But would it not make sense to use the most up to date information possible? I.E. CYL1 may have called her Thite, but then Shanna's post-release quote referring to her as Thea would be considered overriding. It's just oddly jarring to me when we have evidence of anglicized names (such as "Ryan") but stick to the NoJ translations until the character physically shows up in Heroes. In Thite/Thea's case, we have the NoJ Thite and we know it's romanized that way, but then we received information via Heroes that her name is Thea. In Raian/Ryan's case, we know NoJ uses "Raian" as the romanized name but CYL lists an even more anglicized name, verifying that it should be Ryan. While CYL doesn't always show the anglicized name, it just makes sense to me to update those names which are veritably different from the NoJ romanizations. Of course this is why I'm asking; I have some history edits for characters I'm thinking of but I'd like to be consistent with how the wiki pursues it. :) [[User:Ferronier|Ferronier]] | |||

:::I agree that some characters may warrant their own gallery pages separate from the main articles.

== Script Pages == | |||
I feel an agreed upon format for the script pages should be formed. As they are now, they all resemble each other, but they all look different and inconsistent. This is by no means a high priority and probably only needs a few people, but I feel a revision would be useful.

So, I just wanted to ask if this was allowed, or if this is not the focus of this wiki. Just to adjust what I should be focusing my edits on here too. [https://fireemblemwiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Raging Raging (Talk)] 06:26, 1 January 2019 (UTC) | |||
