General Purpose Moderation Guide (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
TBD
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

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
