Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
I advise taking this question to the Anime and Manga forums, specifically the One Piece thread, and find consensus there. I believe it is fairly active.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
Thanks, I will do that.
I've always considered them interchangeable, personally.
While not talking about any specific case, usually the source media has priority, especially when the time distance isn't too great.
That said, this "most recent official translation" policy itself needs its own thread on the Forums.
Scientia et Libertas | Per Aspera ad Astra Nova
^ Agreed. We need a thread to decide on what the policy is supposed to mean.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
Or at least an Administrivia page.
A public discussion makes the most sense, considering what we recently went through with the pre-release works situation.
One person interpreted the existing policy in a very weird way, and the forum thread resolved it. The same could happen here.

Personally, I also consider them interchangeable, and am fine with using either one. The reason I'm asking is for the sake of maintaining consistency for One Piece related articles, and whether or not this site has a preference for one or the other.

^^ I see plenty of people making weird interpretations of the policy. "This is the only possible interpretation of the trailer."

^ Interpreting trailers oddly isn't the same as interpreting wiki policy oddly. And you're getting off course.
In regard to the OP's question, the source material probably wins out. I say "probably" because, again, we don't really know what the policy is or isn't.

^ I figured that would be the case as well.

Hello all,
I know that this site has a general policy of preferring the most recently-used official English localization for foreign works.
In the case of the anime/manga One Piece, there is more than one official English version for certain words and phrases. For example, the VIZ manga uses the term "Navy", while the Funimation dubs/subs uses the term "Marines". There are more examples, but this is one of the most prominent ones. They're both technically the most recent official English translations, except one is for the manga (VIZ) and the other is the anime adaptation (Funimation).
In cases like these, which version is given precedence, the manga (VIZ) or the anime (Funimation)?
