Bizarre vandalism at Koreans in Japan that I can't figure out how to fix
The Koreans in Japan article links to 長田区役所襲撃事件 via the interlanguage links in the sidebar. I went to WikiData to fix it, but the WikiData item links to the correct article. I have no idea how to fix this. Can anyone help? Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 04:10, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Figured it out. The vandal added a hidden interlanguage link with this edit.  The account has only ever made this one edit. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 04:23, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Can someone format X-2 and below into the same table format as X-1 for consistency? LordAtlas (talk) 06:12, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Discussion about a change to Template:Nihongo
I'm not overly sure how many eyes are on Template:Nihongo, but I've opened up a discussion on the talk page about the placement of the help question mark and a suggestion to move it after the kanji/kana parameter rather than the romanji parameter. ~Cheers, Ten  Ton  Parasol  20:20, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

List of anime by release date (pre-1939)
While searching sources I found a trove of new titles to add but the translations in the source seem off. "五一ぢいさん" in particular bothers me as it says it translates to "Old Man Goichi". The characters in old style Japanese though were flipped so んさいぢ一五 would I think read "51 secrets". The kanji for old man is じいさん, I don't know how the character "じ" was added in place of "ぢ". - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:37, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * ぢいさん is just an old way of writing じいさん.--  十  八  03:51, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Why would it be 51 secrets? How did you read it that way? LordAtlas (talk) 04:03, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know how I came to that, but Juhachi cleared things up. Thanks! - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:07, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
