::So the idea would basically be renaming "[[:Category:Cards with Scream]]" into "Category:Cards with さけび", right? I wonder if many people would prefer those kinds of categories with Japanese names. Personally, I think the English (unofficial translation) is fine since it requires no Japanese skills to type and read, and presumably all those cards with the same Japanese attack should have the same translation anyway. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 17:56, 17 March 2024 (UTC) | ::So the idea would basically be renaming "[[:Category:Cards with Scream]]" into "Category:Cards with さけび", right?

::I think it should be OK to use English unofficial translations in the attack categories since we use those translations as the attack names in the card articles anyway. If we decided that the "main" way to refer to a TCG attack must never be an unofficial translation, then I suppose we would have to call the attack by their Japanese names in the articles too. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 18:01, 17 March 2024 (UTC) | ::I think it should be OK to use English unofficial translations in the attack categories since we use those translations as the attack names in the card articles anyway.

:::Yeah, that was the idea. Not one of my better ones though, for those reasons. A template would work. It probably should be a parameter in the category's text template, since unlike a card page these category pages are done entirely by template.
