I think Porplemontage or someone could retitle this template to "Foreign names" not necessarily because of Super Mario Wiki but just so that the template title is grammatically correct and has spacing.

== Chinese romanisations ==
When editing some pages that wanted Chinese translation, I noticed that Traditional and Simplified Chinese are functionally considered separate languages and thus require romanisation and meaning to be listed twice for a complete table. This isn't quite right and a bit inefficient, as Traditional and Simplified Chinese are *essentially* different fonts. There is no difference between the two beyond the exchange in glyphs. Unless the intent is for Traditional to list another Chinese language (e.g. Cantonese), or perhaps use the Bopomofo script for Taiwanese Mandarin, there should be no scenario where a different romanisation is used every single time. Therefore, I believe that this template should '''merge the meaning field (as ChiM)''' and '''automatically place the romanisation in the opposite field (Trad -> Simp, Simp -> Trad) if both aren't filled in'''. This would make editing much easier. - [[Special:Contributions/95.147.100.70|95.147.100.70]] 02:54, March 5, 2026 (UTC)
