So, re: the Senritsu vs. Melody thing, a legit question. (I hope you guys don't mind if I sort of shift this thread into a general "translation discussion" thing, since my original concern was mostly addressed.)

If this is the standard that's going to be followed by the wiki (going with the translated versions of character names in the case that they are translated), what's the deal going to be with Nanika?

I know there's currently... something going on in regards to getting a separate page now that we know concretely that Nanika is not Alluka's hatsu, and I'm hugely in favor of getting that sorted out as soon as possible - the information on Alluka's page re: powers is completely outdated, and there's no indication anywhere that said info is incorrect. But Nanika needing a page is sort of another topic and that has its own place already.

The Crunchyroll subs translate Nanika's name into "Something", while Viz's adaptation of the manga keeps "Nanika". I'm not sure what Viz does with Senritsu - as far as I recall, they chose to translate her name - so I'm curious as to which would take priority? As far as I can tell, the wiki users universally use Nanika, myself included, and if I were to have to make a decision on the matter I'd immediately go with Nanika, no hesitation.
