+ People involved in visual novels production are often hide behind multiple
+ aliases. These aliases could be listed here. Add only aliases that are
+ actually used in VN credits. Sometimes names with different Japanese spelling
+ are romanized equally. You may add such aliases, but then original spelling
+ should be used when name is being looked up in the VN staff edit form.<br />
+ <br />
+ One of the aliases can be selected as the primary name of the staff entry.
+ Typically this is either the person's true name (if known, and if the person
+ has used their true name in the context of VNs) or, alternatively, the most
+ widely used alias.<br />
+ <br />
+ For each alias, the romaji field should contain the name in Latin alphabet.
+ The original name should contain the name as it is written in the original
+ script, and should be left blank if the name is already in the Latin
+ alphabet. Check out the <a href="/d5">general editing guidelines</a> for
+ information on name order and romanization. If possible, try to include a
+ space between the given name and the surname.
