If I'm understanding you correctly, I'd imagine that it should default to the best-known or most prominent version. If all of them are relatively equal, I'd say that the original should take priority.
When a work page covers both an original version and a translation or remake, and there are differences in character names, what's the preferred way of dealing with it in the trope list (when the trope applies identically to both versions)?
1) Use original names only? 2) Use English-language version names only (if applicable)? 3) Use names from the most recent version only? 4) Use either? 5) Use both, separated by a slash?
