 * >While we haven't even updated the CF portions of characters

Do you even know what a wiki is? It is a project that everyone can edit. Not just admins, whose job is actually to deal with vandals. Not just mods, whose job is to moderate others' edits. Everyone. But somehow everyone expects that me and Night should do everything here. If it is so, then maybe you shouldn't protest about the change? After all, if you are fine with us two being the only editors, then you should also be fine with our edits.


 * >And simply just adopt japanese terms because they sound better to "us"

For the umpteenth time:
 * Localization has several terms for one thing.
 * Localization has one term for several things.
 * Localization sometimes is plainly wrong.
 * Localization makes you miss connections between certain terms.

You want examples? I have them. I was actually going to post them, but buggy wikia ate my original message.


 * >and you wonder why no one comes here

No one? Night, can you please post our visitor statistics for this week?

Yes, here you go! 「Night Vision」 (message wall)


 * >Because the admins are hostile as possible, and so are the mods

Said someone who was active in 2012. Just look at this: someone makes a wrong edit. Speculation, or something like that. You revert that. You write them "Please don't do that anymore, you're breaking the rules". They don't listen. They do a bad edit again, and you have to revert it again. You repeat that message. They ignore it. They do it again. And you have to revert their bullshit again. And the only way to make them stop doing harmful edits is to tell them that they are an ignorant idiot who has to learn to read first before they try to edit something again. Only then they understand. I was much nicer before, but it didn't work. It works when I am harsh, rude and overbearing. Then so be it.


 * >Especially when they have valid points

Look at thread that Rawgna started. She explained why she thinks the translations should be reverted, I addressed every point she made, she thought about it from a different point of view, and while she doesn't fully approve, she understands why the change is needed. Now look at Eryops' posts. He constantly says that "people are too used to localizations" and "you can't expect them to look up everything". I understand that, but the change is needed, so I tried to find a compromise, here. Eryops said that "it's an improvement", while continuing that "using translations is bad" thing. Eryops just ignores what I say, so what can I do?

I agree with you that we are, in fact, not a valid source of information, at the moment. But we are aiming for it. Just, me and Night have problems IRL that consume most of our time. I, for example, have an exams period and will be expelled if I won't deal with it. Everyone else just don't care about the wiki enough to make edits. You two, for example. You appeared here after being inactive for years. You dislike the change, yet you didn't vote, but feel the need to post in here. Will you edit the wiki? No, you'll just disappear back to wherever you came from.
