First off, here's a more personal welcome to the wiki from me -- seriously, welcome! The wiki needs all the editors it can get -- so far it's just been me, and as you can imagine, progress has been slow going. (Slow because I'm just one person, and slow because I'm also effectively soloing three Naritaverse wikis right now). So I'm grateful you stopped to edit, I really am!

I just want to stte for the record that the terminology I've been using, e.g. "Other World" and "Undead" are definitely subject to change, "Other World" especially -- they've been a bit like placeholders until we're given more specific information (if Narita would give us the name of Polka's original world, I'd absolutely be using that instead of "Other World", sigh...)

I want to explain why i reverted your Polka Shinoyama (Corpse God) --> Corpse God rename, because renames are a big change and I don't want to seem like I'm being pushy on this --- see, I'm not actually outright opposed to the idea of renaming his article. In fact, I had a lot of trouble deciding between both choices when I first created his page, so trust me: I'm not of a single mind on this.

The reason I reverted it is precisely because a rename is a big change (especially to a main character's page), and one that ought to be discussed openly before being acted upon (in truth I forgot to check whether regular users had that ability by default, whoops). That's all! It's still very much on the table.

Here were my reasonings for choosing the former at the time: The other characters usually refer to the Corpse God as "Polka", not by his title, and "Polka Shinoyama" is the identity he's going by in "our world" rather than the Corpse God, typically.

On the other hand, "Polka Shinoyama (Corpse God)" is a bit of a mouthful.... If you hear a long-suffering sigh in the distance, that's me.

Sorry for the length of the reply! I very much would like to hear your thoughts on the rename (and hope I hven't scared you off). Welcome again to the wiki - I do hope you stick around.
