:Ok, it's your turn to estimate is this all ok now. Your 4 categories should be working fine and shmup is still a funny name (honestly, I'm not trying to offend you). To change RPG category into "Role-playing games" category one has to update (by editing and saving) each acticle from this category, so it's just not practical to do it. Lets say, it maybe is more 'correct' to have fully named categories but it's not a crucial thing. | :Ok, it's your turn to estimate is this all ok now.

:On a side note I've always been interested in how deep is the difference between written traditional Chinese and Japanese. I gather you understand Japanese without any additional study apart maybe from some words of phrases. Is that so? (Sorry for this unexpected question, but I've got noone else to ask.

::What I concern is the genre name displayed at the bottom of each game article and at left side panel, not the Genre field for which editor enter genre name when creating or editing an game article. | |||
::Yes it's not crucial whether genre name is in abbreviation or fullname. But abbreviation in use should be common among games so that a game's type can be recognized at first glance. | |||

::I think TBS and shmup are '''uncommon''' abbreviation, people can't recognize them at first glance. | |||
::'''common''' abbreviation should leave them alone still in abbreviation. | |||
::'''uncommon''' abbreviation should transform into fullname. | |||
::However which abbreviation is '''common''' or '''uncommon''' might be need more confirmation from native English speakers. | |||
::The current name '''Shoot'em up''' should be '''Shoot 'em up''', there is a space between '''Shoot''' and <b>'em</b> | |||
:::as to Traditional Chinese and Japanese, the two languages are sharing a huge amount of Traditional Chinese Characters, but the meaning of same character or word consists of same characters may or may not be different from each other. | |||
