Revision as of 18:24, 2 September 2019
Regarding your song page formatting changes
While we believe your edits were made in good faith, your revisions to pre-existing song pages, along with your page move of Passionate PPP Ōgiri to Passionate PPP Ogiri, have been reverted for the following reasons:
- Major formatting changes such as changing templates to wikitables should be discussed in either the Japari Library Discord server or the japari-wiki channel in Japari Park beforehand.
- Page moves should be discussed in the same channels unless there is valid reason to believe that the change does not need discussed, such as a typo or a change in canon.
- The removal of diacritical marks such as the macron (as in Ō) is incorrect interpretation of the Japanese and results in the removal of the long vowel sound from the romaji transcription. Doing so causes the information on our wiki to become inaccurate.
In the future, when considering changing the formatting of a page, please discuss it beforehand and explain how you believe the changes would be an improvement rather than doing so on your own. Additionally, when altering the Japanese, please consult a translator or Japanese speaker to ensure your re-interpretation of the text is correct. Head Librarian Charlotte 17:27, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
An update
Once again, your edits to the song pages have been reverted. The reasons for doing so are listed here:
- Once again, major formatting changes should be discussed in the proper channels. Simply because I did not specify changing the styling on the romaji in my earlier warning does not qualify it as a "minor" formatting change - it is the bulk of the pages you are editing.
- As an aside, the current romaji format is fine. The style we have in use is intended for easy readability, which the all-lowercase format assists. The style was reconsidered by staff upon your most recent changes, but ultimately it was decided that the format we had in use is preferred. The implementation of your format is also arbitrarily decided (SAABARU for example is not a Japanese word).
- Removal of information such as categories and links which did not need removed. Yes, even red links - the existence of the link means that we hope for such a page to exist at some point. The same applies to changes in images and removal of maintenance templates that are not resolved in the edits you are making.
We strongly recommend that before making any further changes to formatting in the future that you discuss it beforehand, explain your reasoning, and receive input. The wiki is a collaborative effort, and decisions of these nature are not to be made solo, no matter how much you personally think it will be an improvement. As this is the second time I have had to warn you, any further edits of this nature not discussed in the proper channels will result in an immediate removal of your editing privileges for an indefinite period of time.
