VNDB should include information about localization staff.

IMO, it'd make things faster whenever you want to search for a particular translator/editor acknowledged by the community as good, while, at the same time, it'd allow us to filter MTL garbage like SakuraGame.

The MTL filter would be really good either that or that they add an own score for the localization of the VN.

I definitely agree and I recommend reposting this on VNDB forums. Though I don't think this will implemented any time soon. VNDB has a big list of changes that are waiting to be implemented, but the actual changes are very slow.

Only after you get info for all the games

I'd add back the moogy-approved tag tbh.

Just make it a 'professionally approved' tag.  Giving one person that kind of ego boost never leads to anything good.

Localization staff being added has been brought up multiple times with me supporting it each time, but nobody else there seems to want it.

Hope that someone comes up with an idea on how to get VNDB to implement this as I (and I'm sure a lot of others) will love to know who did the localization (especially the TL-ers ) for Libra of the Vampire Princess  (and it's FD), IMHHW (Moenovel), Cross Channel (Moenovel), and your Diary

A compelling argument to not implement this feature, actually.

edit: Keeping a public record of who was responsible for the shittiest translations out there to keep people honest and accountable is fine, but let's not get too weird about it.
