Seems kinda silly when it's done for the western community that the wiki does not localize the official spellings. I am just going to post my one-sided opinion here.

Be it the official Yen Press release, official movie sub, or official NGNL Zero products, every single one of them points towards Schwi and Think.

Those are what the western audiences should be consuming anyway.

IMO Admins are just being thickheaded about all this, even at this point. It's clear that there is a hardheaded stance.

There are more than enough actual concrete reasons compared to the stubborn OG fan-trans. The whole idea behind Shuvi was to make Schwarz sound like a pet-name without being too distant. Schwi is a good enough localization that makes a huge amount of sense compared to Shuvi, which doesn't even retain the Sch. Shuvi has about the same degree of relation with Schwarz as Black with Bob.

シュヴァルツ Schwarz

シュヴィ Shuvi

Note the similarity in the first 3 katakana that is UTTERLY lost in translation. So much for talks about the author's intention in hiding it that I saw in the Think thread. The intention is actually pretty damn clear in the raws and clearly not at all after the fantrans.

With all these in mind, there are actually no good enough counter-argument to not change this. Boggles me mind, especially the fact that Schwi' 'isnt'' even acknowledged in text anywhere on this page. Why?''

But whatever. The admins here can do whatever they want. No need to be offended ShutinOtaku, I am just an anon venting.
