Just a heads up: I'm changing Stardust's name to "Xingchen" on various pages featuring her. There's a number of reasons why I'm doing so.


 * Consistency reasons - Yuecheng, despite not being from the same company, was named based on his Chinese name, not his English name. There were reasons why that happened as well: His name literally doesn't translate into "King" in English. He's most certainly not appealing to Western fans at all and is more or less used as a gimmick or "fun trivia". "King" is too generic of a word as a page name. And let's be real: It would look really weird.
 * Her main audience - Goes without saying that her main audience is the Chinese fans, not the Western fans. Most of her marketing is appealing to the Chinese, not us. They use the name mainly in Western social media, but don't use those accounts as often.
 * Consistency with other databases - Because everyone else is using her Chinese name lmao

I was contemplating this decision for a long time since Yuecheng was announced and honestly, I think this should have been done in the first place. After finding out about Haiyi's name, I basically made a deal with myself: If she doesn't get an English name or something, I'm changing Stardust to Xingchen because this basically just looks really horrible in consistency and it bugs me every day.

So with that being said, I'm doing some mass editing here and there. While I would appreciate the help, I'll let people know if it's needed (and the reason I say this is because I want to avoid edit clashing as much as possible). Thanks.
