Spelling of Yo-kai

From the looks of the English footage of the game, the spelling "Yo-kai" (with a lower-case k) appears to be used, at the least regarding the characters themselves (hard to tell if the actual title uses this as both Nintendo and the anime's English trailer use all-caps).

It's also more logical since the hyphen is there to indicate the long vowel sound. It's also used in official sources like https://twitter.com/YokaiWatchNews, http://yo-kai.nintendo.com/ and the official English game trailer with the aformentioned game footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opal2gPHAD4. Seems to be pretty clear that Yo-kai Watch is the official and proper way to spell it and not Yo-Kai Watch as the Wikipedia article is titled as of this writing. I can't move the current article to the proper title because Yo-kai Watch already exists, as a redirect to the article. Would be nice for someone who can move it to do that. ^_^; GonbeFAN (talk) 18:23, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think you can use Wikipedia:Requested moves to fix it.

Separating Yo-Kai Watch

I'm thinking we should try to split up the article a little more, as in making more pages for the games, and giving the anime and manga their own pages. However I don't know if that's allowed or not so I might need some clarification. (Chocolatejr9 (talk) 16:34, 6 January 2016 (UTC))[reply]

It doesn't really make any sense to do that. The games all have their own pages already and there are too many versions of the manga that no one is writing about to bother with giving them their own page. This is just how pages on these multimedia things work considering the story is pretty much the same in most of them.--2601:140:8200:DE:81A0:EA69:AD45:EA6F (talk) 02:25, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think the Anime should be given it's own page. The anime doesn't really have much of a ongoing plot, while the first game has an completely different one. The second game's plot matches the first movie and some of the anime episodes adapt game plots, but that's it. Reading the plot section is confusing because it references the anime and the third game only. You could also argue that the first manga needs a page since it won rewardsSadonyx (talk) 01:53, 3 October 2017 (UTC)Sadonyx[reply]
