Talk:Weekly Shonen Jump

Page name
The letter "ō" is not a standard letter in the English alphabet, and we do not use it for any other pages where it might apply. Additionally, the official Japanese website doesn't use it; it uses "shonen" not "shōnen". I propose the page be moved back to "Weekly Shonen Jump". Alternatively, "Weekly Shounen Jump" could also be acceptable, although I don't favor it because the official site does not use it. -- KylaraE (talk) 18:40, October 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * They aren't consistent with their use of macrons anywhere. They also don't know the difference between a macron and a circumflex as they've used both for the same names before. I'd have to look into it more but I'm pretty sure the official name uses one. It can be changed back for now.
 * Edit: Viz shares the same inconsistency. Munchvtec (talk) 18:46, October 29, 2017 (UTC)


 * Night moved the page without discussion. I'm strongly in favor of moving it back to Weekly Shonen Jump. Again, the macron is a non-standard character in English and I'm strongly against using them in article titles. We don't use them for any other title pages where they might apply, e.g. it's Touta Matsuda not Tōta Matsuda. There's no special reason to use it here. &mdash; KylaraE (talk) 02:58, January 7, 2019 (UTC)


 * Night used Munch's previous move as justification for his action, but the page's history shows Munch moving the page back shortly after, and his talk page shows Ky bringing up the same point about discussions more than a year ago. It was an uninformed edit and shouldn't be justified by pointing fingers. I know navigating the wiki on mobile is a pain so I hope you can work it out and get back on a pc soon, Night.


 * I'm with Ky here; I'm against titles containing letters/characters that don't exist in the English alphabet. While Night's edit wasn't wrong, even if Shonen Jump themselves are inconsistent, "Shonen" is not only a frequently recurring spelling by an official source, it's also what the casual visitor would type into any search bar, making the page more accessible.Ever Ending (talk) 10:52, January 8, 2019 (UTC)


 * Mobile is a pain, I think we can all agree there. Thanks for joining the discussion, Ever. Night moved the page back to "Shonen" so it seems it's good now. &mdash; KylaraE (talk) 19:59, January 10, 2019 (UTC)
