Template talk:ja-rom

RFDO discussion: December 2013–November 2014
Deprecated in favor of our more standard usage of and. On the issue of romanization, I brought up Transliteration and romanization and Haplology brought up About Japanese/Transliteration, and I believe that as with words we cannot control language and should go with the most commonly used words and therefore the most commonly used romanization system, which is in this case the Hepburn Romanization.

 * Delete a thousand times over. This template was never widely used and was abandoned before I joined this wiki.  Using other romanizations was brought up Beer_parlour/2013/May and roundly rejected.  I don't see much value in including obsolete and misleading romanization styles, and in fact when I see し romanized as "si" instead of "shi" or ち romanized as "ti" instead of "chi" it makes my blood pressure rise.  I absolutely abhor it.  It's ugly, nasty, and bad, and all it does is confuse beginners.  On seeing si, one might assume that it is homophonous with English "see", but no.  Every departure from our version of Hepburn romanization is like that.  It subtracts from the sum total of human knowledge.  Yet if anyone wants entries to make a note of such perversities then it would be relatively easy to do with Lua.  In fact it might be easier because those styles are less nuanced.
