how to redirect
Hey, thanks for trying to help us fix Japanese Name order page title problems. (I noticed that you copied the text of Kaien Shiba into Shiba Kaien.) The problem is, if someone goes to the new article you create this way, they won't see any new edits to the original article. The better solution would be to put #REDIRECT Kaien Shiba on the Shiba Kaien page, and then the user would get redirected to the correct one. Thanks! --Anaraug 09:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, I forgot -- within Wikipedia, we use Given Name-Family Name for modern Japanese names (ie, those born/created post-Meiji era), and for fictional characters. Also we use the shorter spelling (i.e. ō for ou or ū for uu) in both articles and page titles. Also, following a Japanese name or object, it is sometimes appropriate (only once per name per article) to put in the actual katakana/hiragana/kanji, using a specific format (I don't know Japanese, so I've never created one of these and hence don't know the format -- you'll see it on pages though, its right at the beginning on all the BLEACH character pages.) --Anaraug 10:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
