I just noticed that someone added "referred to as '''Arsene''' prior to ''Persona 5 Royal''" in the introduction. I think that's a great compromise to including the accent. Alternatively, if the consensus ends up being to remove the accent, we could change it to "Referred to as Arsène in ''Persona 5 Royal''".

== This is actually kinda ridiculous. == | |||
Sorry if I am bringing this up after months, but this has been irking me for a while. From what I can tell, please correct me if I am wrong about anything, the events behind the move are highly questionable. | |||
*Someone moves the page without consensus | |||
*Instead of being immediately moved back, as it should be praxis in these cases, it stays because supposedly it is a very minor alteration (admittedly true, but not the point), and because the game might have updated the spelling in the near future (which didn't happen even after a spirit from Persona 5 Strikers was added to the game). | |||
*Then, for "consistency", the spelling is changed across the entire wiki, again without proper consensus. | |||
Especially the latter part means that for months we have used wiki wide a spelling that is **not** used anywhere in the actual game that we are covering, again without proper consensus from the editors. | |||
As the spelling "Arsene", without the accent, is the one actually used within Smash, I am proposing that we go back to using that across the wiki. | |||
As a side note, I don't think there is a real preferred spelling in the Persona community; it's just an accented character so the main difference will pretty much be between users that are using an autocorrect (which will spell it with the accent) and users that are not. Which means that we should honestly ignore a community preference that can't actually be gauged and base the argument on a preference between using the spelling provided by Smash or the one provided by later source material.
