That's a very valid point, Taritsukii. I also remember having a long discussion on the romanisation of character names on another wiki (we even went as far as setting up a poll on discord), and what I learned is that the majority of users preferred to prioritise user convenience and chose the spelling of the one they were most familiar with (without macrons/long sounds) rather than the one which was more formally correct (with macrons). I would personally prefer the use of macrons as well, but users who are already familiar with the 'incorrect' variation of the names (Sosuke, Goro, Tono) would be confused as they are unfamiliar with the macron/long sounds pronunciation system.

The way we settled it was having the article names be the variation which users were more familiar with (without macrons/long sounds) because the character introduction already includes the proper romanisation of the character names in italics (e.g. Hiyori Tono (遠野 日和 Tōno Hiyori)), hence we were able to provide conveniece to users as well as retain the proper romanisation of the characters' names.

I believe that this would be the best as well. What do you think?
