Oh my. I apologize. I thought you meant that the Free! prefix must stay attached and I agreed with that. I will certainly revert everything back if it's an issue, but here's my thinking on it...

If you look at how most English-speaking media refer to the series in articles, reviews and other formats, you'll notice that they usually simplify the titles to appeal to English-speaking audiences. Since this is an English-speaking wiki appealing to an English-speaking audience based in an American company, following the lead of those outlets might bring more readers and editors to the wiki who would find editing more appealing and easier to do rather than relying on the Japanese-style usage. Simpler titling might not reflect exact Japanese usage, but all the wikis with which I've worked over the years do this "simplification" so I thought it was common practice.

If this is goes against your ethics or truly bothers you, I will revert things but consider how CC currently considers wikis. It used to be that wikis were a repository of information with the additional features of discussion and chat. The forums worked for awhile but that wasn't enough (or so it seems) which is why the domain expanded into FANDOM with Wikis now a  sideline. If not for ads, it wouldn't surprise me if they nixed wikis altogether, but after 25 years, that's tough to do so we're here and fighting to stay. That said, CC is looking to modernize and make wikis more mobile-oriented and like other social media. Drawing in editors that will stick around versus users just coming to browse is a major goal. Simpler titling is one of things I think can do that since a new editor won't necessarily be aware of the intricate Japanese names.

I'm just thinking of how to keep the wiki moving forward and keeping it relevant. It's how I roll. I take the title of "Active Admin" literally. I take action and explain if there's a question. I revert if there's an issue. No problem. And I'm always open to comments and constructive criticism. It's how we all learn.

So...think about it and let me know what you think. Other than that, have a terrific day. :)
