Coding Japanese Text[]
While most browsers can read Japanese text nowadays, coding can be used just to be on the safe side, with a nihongo template.
The code:{{nihongo|'''Romanized Title'''|Japanese text|Phonetics}}
For example: {{nihongo|'''Project.R'''|プロジェクト・ドット・アール|Purojekuto Dotto Āru}}
makes
Project.R (プロジェクト・ドット・アール, Purojekuto Dotto Āru)
Word Preference[]
As an English language resource, this wiki will use English words for common Japanese nouns. There are still points of contention but when applicable we'll add them to this list.
Common Nouns[]
- henshin- use 'transform'
- senshi- for Sentai rangers, use 'ranger' instead as established in Gokaiger
- gattai- use 'combination'
- taisen- use 'war' or 'wars', unless its an official Romanization for the title, such as Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen and all other sentai names.
Proper Nouns[]
- As names usually, this wiki will stick to the original. i.e. Sentai names.
- While 'sentai' means task force, this wiki refers to it as the franchise title, despite being a common noun. This applies to season and team names as well.
