"using one localized term and mentioning others is the same as using translations and mentioning localized names."

No, it isn't. Nobody knows what a "World Void Information Regulation Organization" is, but everyone knows the NOL. Even if a few terms have more than one translation, using an existing term would be much better since it would be something that people have seen before. You're just using a few cases of ambiguity as a pretext to replace everything with new terms that will only cause confusion.

"It's not like we have tons of newcomers every day, no-one cares about the wiki, and who ever will start to learn about a game by reading a wiki with tons of spoilers instead of playing the game first?"

How do you know how many people come here? The vast majority of people who use this wiki will look at the pages without ever posting. Some of the character names have wiki as an autocomplete option on Google, so people are obviously interested in it. You're treating this wiki as some sort of small community existing for the sake of its most dedicated and frequent contributors rather than an accessible reference for the general public, which is what it should be. The fact your attitude is "nobody cares about this wiki, so I should do whatever I want to it" is pretty telling. And of course there will be people who visit this wiki without playing the games first; I do that all the time. E.g. if I see a character I'm interested from a series I don't know then I'll go and have a look at their wikia page instead of watching an entire series. Again, your attitude is that this wiki should exist only for the most dedicated fans instead of for people with relatively little exposure to the series.

"Exactly why we put all the "localized as" on the pages. But, considering that our readers aren't as smart as we'd like them to be"

Rote memorization isn't intelligence and these comments only emphasize your elitism since you seem to think that people not agreeing with you are stupid. Your "localized as" isn't very useful since you are in effect expecting people to look up every new term you've come up with and learn what they mean in order to get through an article. This interrupts your reading, is a huge pain and people shouldn't be expected to have to learn a whole new set of terms just to use this wiki. This wiki should help newcomers or people without a big interest in blazblue to understand things better; using an entirely different terminology will only confuse them. Also imagine the effect this change will have in discussions elsewhere. E.g. if someone starts using something like your term for NOL then almost nobody will know what they're talking about. Some people using your translation will make discussing BB elsewhere more difficult.

You're making the wiki less useful for the vast majority of its users and what's worse is your attitude that nobody but you and an inner circle comes here or cares about this place. It shows that you aren't really interested in most of the people who want to use this wiki to learn about BB.

PS: You can't be seriously comparing the popularity of Blazblue and Bleach. Of course the latter is way more active since Bleach has a huge fanbase. That doesn't make what they do a good idea.
