Forum:Names with long vowels

Recently several articles renamings to names containing letters for long vowels: Meitou was renamed to Meitō, Ryuuma to Ryūma. (plus there is an old case of Kāshī). I think some discussion regarding such names is needed, and then a global policy should be worked out. While they are probably more correct romanisations of japanese names, they are inconvenient to many users to type; also, such names were not used in this wikia before, we even have names like Very Good. What do you think? Ruxax 22:42, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Its been discussed before related to Kaashi, and the main point is... Not every user can write those names. I for one don't know how to write "Kāshī" without copy + pasting.  And to be quite honest... I'm actually sick of editing and having to write that.  This slows you down.  We don't KNOW if their more correct then another. And as I recall from Kashii, we never got a say, it was determined that Kāshī was correct and none others were... We didn't even VOTE on it.  One-Winged Hawk 23:20, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Is not difficult to type a macron just remember some keyboard shortcuts. But if this is a real problem then someone should unhide the characters on this template. Tipota
