General Purpose Moderation Notes (WIP)

NOTE: This is very much a work in progress attempt to collate various disparate pieces of information of use to Redump moderators, with a view to having a more centralised set of guidance in future. It should not be considered fit for purpose for working on live data, and is not at this stage a replacement for any moderation guidance on the main Redump Wiki

Editions

When multiple unlicensed editions exist, or something other than standard, use parenthesis such as: Unlicensed (Limited Edition) to identify the specific edition.

Naming Conventions

Titles

Redump titling predominantly follows The Official No-Intro Convention, with some key variances

Variances

• Transliterated titles (e.g. from Cyrillic alphabets) may follow different capitalisation rules - check the relevant language section for these.

Compilation Discs

Compilation discs with multiple games/titles on them should be recorded in the database separated by the '/' character, unless another character is used on the item.

Korean

The official standard for the transliteration of Korean is the Revised Romanization of Korean system

Useful Resources

• Korean Romanization Tool

Japanese

Foreign titles in Japanese which contain English characters should use the Shift-JIS fullwidth equivalents for these e.g. KOGADOコレクション becomes ＫＯＧＡＤＯコレクション

Likewise, any spaces in foreign titles in Japanese should use the Shift-JIS wide-space "　" e.g. ＫＯＧＡＤＯコレクション パワードール becomes ＫＯＧＡＤＯコレクション　パワードール

Roman numerals in Japanese titles should be rendered using the following characters Ⅰ　Ⅱ　Ⅲ　Ⅳ　Ⅴ　Ⅵ　Ⅶ　Ⅷ　Ⅸ　Ⅹ

Russian

Russian titles should be transliterated according to the GOST 7.79-2000 standard.

For transliterated Russian titles, only the first letter of the transliterated title is capitalized, and/or Names / first words in sentences. It should effectively follow the capitalization used in the Russian title

Useful Resources

• Transliteration according to the GOST 7.79 system B

Editions

All editions should be transliterated according to the rules for their respective languages above.

Russian

1C titles should be added with their respective variants as the edition e.g.

• 1C: Igrushki
• 1C: Xoroshie igry'

Note that "1C" should **not** be transliterated according to GOST rules, but that the edition **should** use a latin "C" instead of the Cyrillic character

Offsets

Positive offsets should be rendered as e.g. "+13", not just "13"
