Diacritics

/Ōei 応永 1394 I do want to aviod creating problems for anyone else to resolve; and your recent clean-up of "Chōwa" causes me to wonder if I'm still missing the point. I don't mind making mistakes, I suppose; but I shouldn't want to blunder around too much. The need to get the diacritics right is distracting, but important ... and the situation feels a little bit more confusing in the French Wikipedia. At the very least, I want to try not to be part of the problem -- as in the Greek admonition: "above all, do no harm." Do you have any plausibly useful comments or observations you'd be willing to share? Ooperhoofd 01:35, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello. You are not part of the problem. When the page was titled "Chowa", you did the only thing that you could do: used the pipe symbol (|) to rename the link to the correct spelling. However, that only solves part of the problem. The better solution is to simply move the page, as I just did. (Pages pointing to the old like should still be fixed, though.) At the top of each page is a "move" tab. Brand new users may not move pages, but you should be able to by now. There are various issues to contend with, so please read WP:MOVE for details. Also, not all editors will agree with some moves, so if there is any doubt, please discuss it first. There is also WP:RM for moves needing discussion. In some cases an administrator will be needed to complete some moves. When moving a page, please list a reason. For many of our moves, you may use WP:MOS-JA as the reason, assuming that you have first read and comprehend the contents. Regards. Bendono 02:15, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
