RE: Naming Format
I handle nine Wikis in total, eight of them anime series, and I enforce the "last name, then first name" ordering for Japanese names and the usual order for foreign names like (Stephanie Gorgeouspalace in Toaru Majutsu no Index). Chinese names like Shuurei Kou in Saiunkoku Monogatari (Shuurei is the first name) is written as Kou Shuurei to follow how Chinese names of real people are romanized (e.g. Hu Jintao).

Also, the Wikipedia article on Japanese names state that:

"Characters in translated Japanese manga, anime, and video games are special cases. They are sometimes given new Western names (as in Pokémon for example), or they may keep their original Japanese names in either Japanese or Western name order. They may also have non-Hepburn transliterations of their names, or even different transliterations between different editions or between manga, anime and/or video game versions (as in Yu-Gi-Oh!, for example)."

It doesn't say much, but I think I'll just post some tips on naming somewhere. Herald of meridian 12:57, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
