The Japanese people on this website, will get confused because they may not know the English name of Attack on Titan now http://shingekinokyojin.wikia.com/ would help the Japanese people understand this, English people who like Attack on Titan would support the name change but I'm against it, here's the quote from the 1st Theme they made its self: "Anata ga shokuhindearu, nai watashitachiha hantādesu! Ha Ha! Shingeki no Kyojin! Ha Ha! Shingeki no Kyojin! Ha Ha! Shingeki no Kyojin! Ha Ha! Shingeki no Kyojin!..." This is the Translation: "Are you the food, no we're the Hunters! Ha Ha! Attack on Titan! Ha Ha! Attack on Titan! Ha Ha! Attack on Titan! Ha Ha! Attack on Titan!..." The intro has no translation until you Copy Paste the Japanese words into Google Translate. These are VALID and UP-TO-DATE info I recently found out just today, now incase no one knows what Shingeki no Kyojin means they copy paste it then go to Google Translate Paste it then they'll know what it means, I rest my case

That situation is improbable for two simple reasons:


 * 1) Japanese people who don't understand English are very unlikely to visit this wiki in the first place. It is illogical to stop every step forward due to what should be a very small minority that is not even our target audience.
 * 2) There is already a Japanese version of this wiki (which, curiously enough, uses the URL jp.attackontitan.wikia.com instead of shingekinokyojin, so I doubt that name is so unknown in the Japanese world as you say), and Google always puts in first place of the search results websites that match the location and language of the user. For example, I live in Mexico and my browser is in Spanish, so whenever I search for either Attack on Titan or Shingeki no Kyojin, the site that appears in first place is the Spanish version of this wiki, not the English version. So the Japanese users are being sent to that Japanese wiki, not to this wiki. If there are Japanese users who speak English and would like to visit the English encyclopedia, they naturally will understand the meaning of Attack on Titan Wiki; especially if the Japanese version uses the same URL. Furthermore, an English name would help them to recognize it more easily as the English version they are looking for.
