#I agree, pages listing both English versions can get really cluttered and often the differences are minimal and not really worth listing. If we really wanted to document them just for completion's sake, we could do elsewhere, but this is outside the scope of this proposal I feel. {{User:Gigi/sig}} 00:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

I agree that choosing a localization is the best call. However, I think sometimes there are some times where it's at least worthwhile to highlight some differences, even if it only happens very rarely. In the cases where British English or another language has meaningful differences, I think that has potential value - again, it is rare. I also think that considering how rarely the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean releases deviate from one another, it would be useful to establish some kind of name for that. Personally, the term I use when discussing them is "East Asian versions", but I understand that might have some minor confusion. Perhaps "source release" or something else? ~ [[User:Waddlez3121|by Waddlez!]] 00:56, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
