That's a bit more what I mean though. I'm not saying to call them Team Black, I'm just curious on how much liberty those on the wiki are taking to name things. Such as this case, Darkness being chosen because "it sounds cooler" instead of what the author really wanted. Especially since the kanji for Darkness ( 闇黒 ), much less the kanji for Dark ( 闇 ) is never used.

I bring this up because of things like the case with Tsuare and her page being originally made to Toile as a translation because whoever had made the page originally thought that sounded better with there never being a translation of her name like that.

In the end, what I mean is that I believe taking into account what the original author (not the chinese translation) wrote is most important.

Raven, Jet, Onyx, Obsidian, Burnet and Slate are all synonyms for Black. Dark however is not. Dark/Darkness is a hue instead of a color which is the absense of light (which does of course result essentially in black, but is different thing) and has a seperate kanji from each other as I've shown.

As I've also stated, Raven has also been an excepted translation for Shikkoku in other officially translated works as well as Jet Black as it is translated in most Japanese to English dictionaries.
