The Administrivia policy for works created in other languages is Troping Works Created in Other Languages. At the moment, this is focused on works with official translations.
More broadly, TV Tropes has a rule that the latest English translation will normally take priority over the original (some exceptions are listed on the Administrivia page), but many pages and examples still use older titles and character names. This cleanup is to help relieve that.
For policy discussions, see the wiki talk Translation Policy thread

In that case, Sega should provide the official English title of the game within a few days or so.
Meanwhile, should I just go ahead and move it to VideoGame.Project Sakura Wars until the official English title is announced?

It's silly to move a page when we're about to move it to something different anyway. And as discussed earlier, Project Sakura Wars might not count as a legitimate title.
Musician/Composer
Completely understandable.

The Blazing Blade was given its current title retroactively by Nintendo. It's already the official title.
Rating boards go off of whatever the publisher gives them, which is usually a finished product. Sakura Wars is probably the final name.

Regardless, we should use a unique name when one exists.

As for the One Piece question on ATT, we should probably wait for Funimation's next usage of the term, to ensure this wasn't just a one-time thing.
Good idea. For what it's worth, episode 913 also uses the new term, so I think it'll be a mainstay.

What should be done about Bakuten Shoot Beyblade?

Leave it at that title to distinguish it from the franchise as a whole.

Does the translation policy allow us to do that?
We do not use JP titles when an English title exists. All the Beyblade stuff needs to be moved over.

But since a unique English title doesn't exist, moving it seems counter-intuitive. At the very least, the many other uncontroversial moves listed in the first post should be made first.

Move it to Beyblade 2001 — we have year differentiation for a reason. The current title will still be around as a redirect.

It was originally a manga, so wouldn't it be at Manga.Beyblade 1999? Though since the whole Beyblade franchise started in 1999, that's not a very good disambiguation...

A quick update: Shin Sakura Wars has been once again rated by the USK with the English title Sakura Wars.
So, how many weeks or months should we wait before making the change to Sakura Wars (2019)? It seems that it's going to be the official English title for the new release when the ESRB rates it, given the Japanese title also includes the English translation in there.

Should Franchise.Pretty Cure be renamed Franchise.Glitter Force, even though only two series use that name?

No, because only two series use that name.

What are the other series named in English?

This franchise apparently has another valid translated name: PreCure.
Is there English merch for this? It should be properly labeled.

I don't think the classification board alone is enough to prove its name.
