Please rename SNES to "Super Nintendo Entertainment System" and make "SNES" an alias. Sure, a lot of people just shorten it to SNES every time they say it, and everyone knows what you're talking about, but it seems lazy and unprofessional to make the official page title for the Super Nintendo platform an acronym.

Similarly, NES should be renamed "Nintendo Entertainment System" and "NES" should be made an alias.

@deusoma: You're probably right. I went ahead and changed the PSP page too.

Tron (franchise) should be TRON in caps. If you check IMDB, the TRON movie is listed as caps.

http://www.giantbomb.com/haunt-the-real-slender-game/3030-41688/ This game should have the aliases Haunt v.1.1, and Slender: Haunt

I misread the name of a new game submission.

Please rename Dusty's Revenge to Dusty Revenge (game page) as well as the Dusty's Revenge (franchise) page to just Dusty.

Senda - Misspelling of Sedna, the character's actual name, which is what the page should be renamed to. (proof here)

Disgaea Dimension 2 - Rename to "Disgaea Dimension 2: A Brighter Darkness". That's the full name of the English release of the game according to this Kotaku story.

I came here to mention this as well as to request the change to the North American names for the other two announced games from NISA: The God and Fate Revolution Paradox should be changed to the "The Guided Fate Paradox" and Toki to Towa should be renamed "Time and Eternity". If the original names could be maintained as aliases, that would be fantastic.

As an aside, I tried to find the Time and Eternity page for forever last night, as that has been the name given to it for months, and ended up requesting a new game page for it. Sorry about that. Probably not the place to request this, but If a mod here could also reject that request at the same time, that would be great.

I don't remember if there was an official ruling on this or whatever, but shouldn't Silesia have its alias and page name switched? The title of this song (essentially the Kingdom's theme in the original game) is as close to an official name from Nintendo as I can remember.

Actually, all of the kingdoms in the Fire Emblem franchise have officially translated names. You can set your "home" in your Awakening StreetPass profile to use real locations, or if you scroll down far enough, countries and continents ranging from Talys and Archanea to Crimea and Tellius. So a lot of the location pages will need to be straight up renamed.

Artiface Studio has a space at the beginning of its name which is causing it to be ordered incorrectly when sorting alphabetically. The space should be removed.

I had hoped that the new site would trim leading and trailing spaces automatically, but apparently not.

Let's rename RGB separation to just color separation; there's a lot of games that seem to go down the CMY route, so 'color separation' is more accurate.

The following Fire Emblem character pages should be renamed to match their offiicial localizations in Fire Emblem: Awakening:

And some locations need to be similarly changed:

#288 Posted by Hailinel (18149 posts) - 2 months, 23 days ago
#289 Posted by dungbootle (2247 posts) - 2 months, 23 days ago

Rename:

Paris -> Priam

Eudes -> Owain

Official English names.

Mistyped the title of a new game page: Devil Survivor 2: Breaker Code should be Devil Survivor 2: Break Code.

Came in to correct this further: "Break Code" was apparently a misprint in the announcement, the actual Japanese game title will be "Devil Survivor 2: Break Record."

Arma 3 should have the alias Arma III added since 2 primarily went by II and Bohemia (the developer) uses both III and 3 interchangeably in promotional materials.

Densha de Go! for DS is actually named Densha de Go! Tokubetsu-hen: Fukkatsu Shouwa no Yamanotesen with the alias Densha de Go! Special Version—Revived! Showa Yamanote Line

if the — character causes search problems perhaps go with "Version Revived!"
