Always 3:00am in the Filth
If we had an individual page for a game, then yes I'd say use the full title...and given that we want English whenever possible it'd probably be Eastern Mausoleum Of Divine Spirits Ten Desires. Plus or minus the "Touhou" part, I recall that means "east", but it's also the franchise name, whatever.
For a character page, it's probably less important. Most times people don't wick directly to the character page. So I'd just say keep it simple to what's known and used within the fanbase. So "Ten Desires Characters", etc.
EDIT:
Also, keep in mind that the site overhaul is Coming Soon(TM). So maybe it's best to wait. Policies shouldn't be changing but the database is supposed to.

Which we're not supposed to use off the forums
I don't think we have a policy beyond "first come first serve". I've seen a pretty wide variety

Not supposed to use which? I was giving Ore no Imōto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai as an example of a work page using a long, foreign name, despite "Oreimo" being the official English title and used in Japanese merchandise as well. Touhou games do not have translated titles, and the Japanese titles are nowhere near as complex as LN-style ones like that, which would mean that shortening them has less justification than shortening Oreimo.
The policy I was talking about was listed at the bottom of How to Create a Work's Page
TV Tropes is an English-language wiki, so we prefer to use the English titles where applicable. So if the work has an official localized title, use the English title for the page and add the non-English title as a redirect. However, if the work doesn't have an officially-translated English title, you can use the non-English title for the main page and make the English translation into a redirect instead.

Ore Imo has an official translation? Huh. Yeah, the page is currently in direct violation of policy (policy I dislike, but whatever)
And, uh, I don't think we have any policy for dividing subpages
Are they really subpages at this point, if each of them corresponds to a specific work? If in the future someone created a work page for EoSD, you'd expect Characters/EoSD to follow the same naming pattern.
A) No one is going to create a page for EoSD B) The official policy is stupid and regularly ignored

Doin' stuff
Well it's that time of the year again. Here's another one of JynX's PC-98 remake videos.

I do lots of stuff. The real question is am I any good at that stuff.
I'm rather impressed. He took the basic concepts of that fight and turned it into something actually interesting
...Wonder how HRtP will be handled
There's a little snippet in Extra Love that's also in Casket of Star and Maiden's Capriccio.
Heart of Stone
Some kind of a New Leaf
You know, I'm actually surprised that there aren't more fangames in the style of HRtP. With all the games that Touhou fans are willing to copy and put a Touhou coat of paint on, you'd think at least one person would have looked into Touhou's own history.
I make video games! Or plan to, anyway.
Yeah, but it's not, you know, fun
Some kind of a New Leaf
Going by a few videos I've seen of it, the basic concept seems solid enough. With a bit of polish I think it could work fairly well.

So, uh, I'd like everyone to just chill out and enjoy this R&B remix:
'Cause it's smooth as hell and godlike. I love 2hu remixes in less-common genres. This one's especially cool because it's in full English and is performed by a legit actual R&B artist, King Aswad.

"Pics or it didn't happen" is the relevant phrase here, I think

Huh, it's really weird seeing Kasen drawn by Harukawa
As far as I can tell, the official policy for untranslated works is to use the original-language title whenever possible, and put Fan Nicknames in redirects.
