:So, this is something that the wiki editing community reached a consensus on last year right after Coco's graduation. We decided against using past tense of "is", because it implies that the subject has passed away. Instead, using "is" with "former" is our agreed-upon approach. You can find this conversation in the #wiki-chat channel on our wiki Discord server. [[User:Aesulus|Aesulus]] ([[User talk:Aesulus|talk]]) 11:04, 5 March 2022 (JST)

== [[w:Hepburn romanization|Hepburn transliteration]] for all names in Japanese ==

I noticed that many Japanese names for [[Hololive|''Hololive'']] members lack something that I, and guys from Wikipedia dubbed as "[[wikt:transliteration|transliteration]]". This is very crucial for wikis whose pages contain a handful of Japanese words (written in Japanese, of course).

According to Wikipedia:

:Wikipedia uses the version of Modified Hepburn described below because it is generally accepted by scholars and it gives a fair indication of Japanese pronunciation to the intended audience of English speakers. People who care about other romanisation systems are knowledgeable enough to look after themselves.

Even Fandom wikis like [[wikia:kamenrider:Main Page|Kamen Rider Wiki]] and [[wikia:ultra:Ultraman Wiki|Ultraman Wiki]] often transliterate a plethora of words, ideas, names transcribed in Japanese. And maybe we should, too, starting with names.

<big>'''Examples'''</big>

* [[Gawr Gura]] (Japanese: がうる・ぐら, Hepburn: ''Gauru Gura'')

* [[Mori Calliope]] (Japanese: 森カリオペ, Hepburn: ''Mori Kariope'')

* [[Ouro Kronii]] (Japanese: オーロ・クロニー, Hepburn: ''Ōro Kuronī'')

* [[Hakos Baelz]] (Japanese: ハコス・ベールズ, Hepburn: ''Hakosu Bērutsu'')

* [[Airani Iofifteen]] (Japanese: アイラニ・イオフィフティーン, Hepburn: ''Airani Iofifutīn'')

* [[La+ Darknesss|{{Hover title|Laplus Darknesss|La+ Darknesss}}]] (Japanese: ラプラス・ダークネス, Hepburn: ''Rapurasu Dākunesu'')
