Forum:Writing of "D." and "Will of the D."

Heyo. Something I noticed because of a recent talk page question on the Will of the D.: There shouldn't be a dot after "D". It's not there in the original and - correct me if I'm wrong - it's not even said to be an initial/abbreviation of a full name. So all instances in the wiki should be changed from "D." to just "D", to be in line with how the Japanese presents it.

Now, before you complain about "yeah but Luffy's name is written like that": It's not, at least not on the wanted poster. And from what I know, we generally follow how the Japanese original writes the names (see "Zoro" vs "Zolo").

Furthermore, the translation of Dの意志 should simply be "Will of D". The "the" implies that it's about a certain, specific will the D-Family held or holds, which is not the case. Yes, the D-holder have similar personalities and views, but not one single goal/characteristic/whatever. Best example would be Blackbeard, I guess. Plus, we already have the Category:Will of D.. Oh and Dの一族 is also just "Family of D", not "Family of the D". • Seelentau 愛 議 16:03, September 28, 2019 (UTC)

Nothing I can really find that supports what we have now. I support. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 19:21, September 28, 2019 (UTC)

I'm fine with ditching "the", but characters names should stay as is. Chapters 910 and 925 clearly show the spellings "MONKEY D. LUFFY" and "MARSHALL D. TEACH", periods included. Wanted posters just use the dot separators for all parts of a name, like how Japanese usually handles western-style names. 20:19, September 28, 2019 (UTC)

Ah, you're right, I never noticed that! Alright, I guess that settles it then. Quicker than I thought. :D But should the same be done for "Will of D.", "Family of D." etc.? Meaning, whenever the "D" is mentioned, it should be followed by a dot, even in places outside of character names? • Seelentau 愛 議 20:24, September 28, 2019 (UTC)

That seems to be the way it's done currently, so I'd say it's simplest to just keep it like that. 20:55, September 28, 2019 (UTC)

Okidoki. Please move the page and template, I can't :/ • Seelentau 愛 議 21:11, September 28, 2019 (UTC)
