articles. I'm making a push to finish that cleanup, and I've been noticing that punctuation, currency symbols, and spaces have the same problem. It looks weird to have the full-width versions mixed in, and they sometimes leak into English-language text. My plan was to start converting punctuation and currency symbols in horizontal text (except where the characters themselves are being discussed) when the July 1 database dump becomes available in a week or two. If you have any questions, objections, concerns, or suggestions, please let me know! Open-circle full stop is not included; the affected characters are:

whaa– are you asking why to romanise the soundtrack name? Well, because the original title was in Japanese, we're using the english title in the lead but it doesn't hurt to mention the original with rōmaji. More importantly, spy family was just an example here. Let me rephrase: say we have

I think you misunderstood. I'm not talking about when they're in lead; we'll definitely omit them if an English title is not available and the rōmaji is in lead, but what about when an English title is available and the rōmaji is in
