This is for the discussion of a random assortment of minor things that may or may not need to be changed. Feel free to discuss the implementation of them under each header. This is just the stuff off the top of my head, so feel free to add new sections for other related topics.
Section
Prana → Magical Energy
Prana has always been a fan-only thing compared to other uses like just generalizing all of it as mana and just going with magical energy. I think going with magical energy is fine for most things. Prana Burst could probably just be Mana Burst like it is often translated. EGGS (talk) 14:52, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
I'm ok with changing Prana to Magical Energy, since that's what Maryoku means. Prana Burst could also be Magic Burst. Sandubadear (talk) 19:09, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
True Assassin → Assassin (Fate/stay night Heaven's Feel)
Compared to Sakura Saber and Demon Archer, "True Assassin" isn't actually a name. He's never actually called that anywhere in the VN, so it's really just something to differentiate him in things like side material. EGGS (talk) 14:52, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
If he's called that way in side material, it's sort of a name I guess. I haven't played tiger colosseum, so I don't know what's his name in the character screen, maybe we could use that (unless it's just Assassin like the other Assassin, which doesn't help at all) Sandubadear (talk) 19:11, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
Altria → Artoria
Both have been used for Saber's name. Artoria makes more sense in terms of naming, and it was used on something more directly related to the creators, an illustration by Takeuchi. Either way, Arturia isn't in the running. EGGS (talk) 14:52, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
Altria seems "less worse" than Artoria. Sandubadear (talk) 19:12, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
The letter D in place of Z
Names like Mitsuzuri, Hotaruzuka, and Yumizuka are all often romanized with a D in the place of the Z, but there are also cases where such names are also romanized with a Z. One should probably be chosen. EGGS (talk) 14:52, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
Z seems better since that's how you read. Sandubadear (talk) 19:18, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
Separate articles for Saber Alter, Child-Gil, and SHIKI Tohno
Like Shiki Nanaya is to Shiki Tohno, they're more like separate characters than just minor alterations like Red Arcueid and Sion Tatari are to Arcueid and Sion. EGGS (talk) 14:52, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
- I vote yes to SHIKI, and maybe to Saber Alter (like both Vlads and both Karnas also have separate pages) but really no to Child-Gil. It's just him transformed into a kid because of a potion, and he can change at will. Sandubadear (talk) 19:16, November 9, 2014 (UTC)
Renaming Karna (Fate/Extra CCC) → Launcher (Fate/Extra CCC)
Because when he is fought, the HP-meter says Launcher, even if he is only referred as Karna throughout the whole game. Gawain is also referred only as Gawain but his page says Saber (Fate/Extra). Sandubadear (talk) 20:07, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
