Tick tock, editors….
This article is a work in progress.
…well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editors’ notes.

A very basic table of nicknames and proposed human names for OS-tans. All of these names are fanon at most, though the nicknames for the canon Windows-tans are canon, using them as the OS-tans' real names isn't necessarily.

In recent years, the OS-tan verse has become westernized in much of the fanon, with many of the new OS-tans having only western names. This seems to make the Japanese names and cultural practices of the Windows-tans appear out of place, but are kept for the sake of tradition and the OS-tan phenomenon's Japanese roots. As a compromise between the Japanese roots, and the more Western-style fanon, it has been proposed to try and come up with both Western and Japanese names for OS-tans whenever possible, which ever one being used (if at all), being up to individual preference, and why not? The OS-tan verse setting is already portrayed as anachronistic, why not a cultural fusion too?

How to add names to the table

Table code

{|cellpadding=2 border=1 style= "background:#EFF5FB;"
|- style="background:#AFAFE9;"
!scope="col"|'''Character'''
|scope="col"|'''Western name'''
|scope="col"|'''Japanese name'''
|scope="col"|'''Common nickname(s)'''
|-
|character goes here||western name||japanese name ||other nicknames
|-
|}

Add an entry

Look at this sample row: 

|character goes here||western name||japanese name ||other nicknames

The first pipe "|" marks the start of the new row, and because scope="col" is used for each column, the other cells in the row use double pipes "||". The last entry goes to the right of the last double pipes, and is closed off with a 

|-

right below the row.

Insert it into the section you are looking for.
