Saiunkoku Monogatari:Guidelines

This page serves to supplement the general format/style guideline page to minimize inconsistencies in formatting, style, naming, etc., among different translators and editors. Please go through that page before this page if you have not done so yet. Any new suggestions or disagreements with the guidelines are welcome, and such discussions should be carried out on the talk page of this page. When using the talk pages, please sign your posts using the signature button. The project supervisor (if he/she exists) shall have the final say. Before suggesting a change, do bear in mind the impact of the change to already translated content and weigh that against the value and importance of the change.

Warning: This page contains possible spoilers!

Formatting & Style

Page Demarcation

For each new page in the novel, start by marking the page number with the hide tag in the following manner: <!-- PG ### -->. This makes it easier for editors or other translators to give feedback by providing the page number for cross-referencing in the source material.

Example:
<!-- PG 51 -->
And this all happened within the span of two years since he became king.

Names & Terminology

Translators who encounter a recurring term or name not listed here are encouraged to update this list. If in doubt, discuss on the talk page or in the forums for input from other Japanese raw readers. One-time occurrences are not necessary, as style consistency will not apply.
