## In separating the primary title from extraneous elements, it is '''helpful''' to consult sources from the country of origin, and in particular official first-party sources from that country (official website, social media channels, or other media). In such sources, the primary title is typically contained within 『』 brackets, and they '''generally''' do not include extraneous items. Do note, however, that that is not an absolute truth, and exceptions are known to exist (e.g. ''{{short|a6107|『鋼の錬金術師 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST』}}'' contains the translation ''"FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST"'' in the 『』 brackets, and should be dropped). Items that are clearly extraneous '''should be removed''', even if they happen to be kept in such sources. | ## In separating the primary title from extraneous elements, it is '''helpful''' to consult sources from the country of origin, and in particular official first-party sources from that country (official website, social media channels, or other media).
