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

Both should be mentioned

Both should be mentioned, but official English names take precedence, based on what I've been told. What many pages do is mention the original Japanese names in parenthesis once, then use the official English names for the rest of the page.
Based on that rule though, the main Inazuma Eleven page should also use the official English names if available.

The closest to we have to a hard and fast rule on this I can think of comes from 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.
Otherwise, standard oft-stated preference is to use official English names where applicable.

Reverted to English names. (Not sure if Elefen/Eleven was a dub change or a typo fix, so I left it alone; if it's a dub change, change that as well.)
^^^ The Japanese names are usually only mentioned on the Character pages and even then they're the ones in parenthesis.
This question is for another series but it's the same idea. Beyblade has the Japanese names taking precedence over the English names. For example, "Takao Kinomiya (Tyson Granger)". AFAIK, the English dub has always used the English names. It would be okay to change the page to be English name first, right?
^ If that is what the most recent official English translation uses, then yes.
I made an Inazuma Eleven: Ares page yesterday with the new English names but another troper changed the names to their Japanese versions with this edit: "Most fans would recognize the Japanese names better than their dub names. And since the main Inazuma Eleven page still goes with Japanese names, this is edited out for consistency."
Can I add the English names back? Tvtropes has a "Use the current English names and spellings" rule, though many pages prefer to use the non-Dub Name Change names.
