Update the names of some of the Japanese-exclusive items
There are around a hundred items from, , and that do not have official translations since they did not appear in  (see Category:Items with no English localization). Nookipedia and the ACGC Spreadsheet for the most part are currently using direct translations. However, and I were reviewing some of the original community translation choices in the spreadsheets server, and we feel that it would make sense to tweak some of the translations to be more accurate or reflect their localized names in later game entries.

The items in Category:Items with no English localization can be generalized into 3 groups:
 * 1) The item reappears in a later game entry. Its translation on Nookipedia is different from a later game entry.
 * 2) The item reappears in a later game entry. Its translation on Nookipedia is already identical to its name in a later game entry.
 * 3) The item does not reappear in a later game entry.

For this discussion, only group 1 will be addressed. Group 2 does not need to be addressed. Group 3 may be worth reviewing at a later date, but they will not be reviewed right now. Here are the items that could have their names updated.

Item #1: Alcove → Tokonoma
An overall better translation that matches the localized name. While "Alcove" is not an inaccurate translation, is an accepted encyclopedic term. HylianAngel (talk) 07:36, July 4, 2022 (EDT)

Item #2: Apple Cardboard → Apple Cardboard Box
An overall better translation, since "cardboard box" is more specific than "cardboard." It also happens to match the localized name of "Cardboard Box." HylianAngel (talk) 07:36, July 4, 2022 (EDT)

Item #3: Autumn Pennant → Fall Champion's Pennant
This item should already have "fall" in its name due to the community vote in Talk:Fall; if a community translation must opt between "fall" and "autumn," then it should opt for "fall," per the previous community vote. As for the Pennant → Champion's Pennant part, it seems that ゆうしょうき (yuushouki) more accurately translates to "championship pennant" rather than "pennant." I believe syncing the DnM+ name with the localized NH name of "Champion's Pennant" is acceptable. HylianAngel (talk) 07:36, July 4, 2022 (EDT)

Item #4: Barricade → Saw Horse, Sawhorse, or Safety Barrier
This one is a bit strange. The Japanese item name has been consistent throughout all entries, but its design changed at the same time the item was localized in the English version of. On the one hand, I can see leaving the name as the direct translation due to the design change, but on the other hand, I can see changing it to one of the localized names for consistency purposes. It doesn't help that it has had multiple English names and its design revert back to its original design in, adding to the confusion. HylianAngel (talk) 07:36, July 4, 2022 (EDT)
