InuYasha Wiki talk:Naming policy

Macrons
I feel as though it is slightly ambiguous as to whether or not macrons are required or not. In the Rōmaji section, it states that we use "revised hepburn" for the romanization of kanji, which exclusively uses macrons. In my opinion, the language starts to get a bit confusing in the Italics and Macrons section, where it says "Basically, we use italics and macrons in any unique location, ie: one that isn't repeated and bears some significance to the reader." To me, this kind of indicates that we only use Macrons --and italics-- in special instances, when we should really be using them in almost every article (well, those with character names that have macrons). The only instances in which you do not use macrons are with the English form of words, such as in the English title of anime episodes; for example episode 76 is titled "Target: Sesshomaru and Inuyasha", you do not add a macron here because the English title is stylized this way, without macrons. I think somewhere in the naming policy it should be explicitly stated that macrons are to be used whenever they are needed, in more clear language. 20:30, January 18, 2014 (UTC)
