Forum:Names of Manga Cards used when they are brought to the OCG

This is just something that bothers me ever so slightly when it comes to the names used for Manga Cards, when said cards are released in the OCG/TCG.

Currently, the Wiki uses the Viz, translated name, if available as the official name of such cards. However, due to how literal the translations are, some cards have their "Official" English name being inconsistent with how the card should be named in the TCG.

An example being "Enter-Mate Corn" and "Enter-Mate Uni". Obviously, the names currently used are those given by the translation team employed to localise the manga which is why they are currently named as they are. However, they are apart of the Performapal archetype, which isn't reflected with the current names.

In circumstances like the above, i.e. a archetype member is released in the OCG/TCG, with a Viz-lated name excludes it from an archetype that its Japanese name would make it apart of, I feel that it should be appropriate that the Viz-lation name be dismissed due to being inconsistent with Konamis naming conventions, and that the inconsistent part of the name be replaced with that which would be consistent, in the above example "Enter-Mate Uni" -> "Performapal Uni".

I would also like to mention that the Manga "Number" monsters, despite Viz using the "No." abbreviation in the manga, were named "Number" when the card pages were made after they were confirmed. E.g. Number 35. I am suggesting that what ever was allowed here be applied in matching circumstances, i.e. inclusion in an archetype that it is rightfully a part of.
