I'm sorry if I misunderstood you but I find that amusing, though not in an offensive way. Yes indeed, the Nihongo template does retain the 'correct' pronunciation through using the conventional macron standard, and so if you referred to the 'Ōmae' variant as 'correct', you have answered your own doubts in your first statement.

Nonetheless, I never stated that Ōmae was the only correct variation in romanization. As I have repeated countless times already, it is only the most preferred one and has been assumed to be the standard convention.

And no, it is not just because Wikipedia adopted that method of romanization. There are many other factors that make it a conventional standard in a large majority of websites and databases.

Yuji Otsutsuki wrote: Many see the use of 'ou' as vulgar or incorrect, and also because some would pronounce 'ou' as one would say 'oh' instead of prolonging the desired 'o' sound, which would create further confusion. This goes the same for aa, ii, uu and ee. And as this comment states, "That something is often done does not make it a right thing." To put it simply, Japanese romanisation prefers preserving the sound than imitating the orthography of the language.

I'm just trying to make this wiki more formalised and improve its organisation so that users can believe that this wiki is credible and reliable. For me personally, it seems that wikis with the use of the macron convention such as Haikyuu!!, World Trigger, Narutopedia and Shokugeki no Sōma are highly developed and thus have gained much respect and trust from users.

As there has been much disagreement to my point of view, even among Discord servers, I see now that the community of the Hibike! Euphonium fandom would prioritise user convenience over formatting formality, as Oumae has been in use since the anime debut. I have now reverted the changes back to its original format. Sorry to cause so much trouble and disturbance, and I hope everyone is now satisfied.
