Hello, sorry for the inconvenience. I saw that on Illit discography page, you switched the order of the Japanese charts with the Chinese one only in the Japanese singles section. I know that the countries were supposed to be listed alphabetically, with the exception of the group's home country (in this case, South Korea). Unless we consider the fact that Iroha and Moka are Japanese, but I don't think that applies when it comes to the group. Could you please explain? Do you have similar examples? Thank you in advance and Have A Nice Day! ~2026-11231-61 (talk) 21:43, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@~2026-11231-61 The remaining releases are charted on South Korean charts. The Japanese singles did not chart in South Korea, but they did chart on Japanese charts. Since those singles are obviously Japanese, it's listed first. The logic is straightforward: if a release charted in South Korea, it is ordered first because that is the group's origin. Otherwise, the ordering follows the language. — 🧧🍊 Paper9oll 🍊🧧 (🔔 • 📝) 22:13, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

If those Japanese singles had also charted in South Korea, the order would have been South Korea (hometown), Japan (language of the song), and China, right? If yes, what about English-language singles? Should we list English-speaking countries first, in alphabetical order (after the hometown, of course)? ~2026-11195-30 (talk) 23:32, 19 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. If a Korean single had charted in South Korea, the ordering would be South Korea as the group's home country and the language and primary market of the release, followed by other nine charting countries. If a Japanese single had charted in South Korea, the ordering would be South Korea as the group's home country, Japan as the language and primary market of the release, followed by other eight charting countries. If an English single had charted in South Korea, the ordering would be South Korea first, followed by other nine charting countries. Which countries appear afterward depends on the notability and significance of the charts, specifically which charts are more representative and informative, and is determined through editorial judgment; this is not fixed, and if future releases chart at or within the top ten on multiple WP:GOODCHARTS, those secondary charts are often prioritized over earlier ones regardless of former releases as it's more representative and informative. In practice, GOODCHARTS are generally preferred here. Overall, what you did for the Illit discography when ARIA was replaced with TME due to the latter having more entries at present, in the absence of applicable GOODCHARTS and before the table reached the full ten-column limit, is an example of this logic being applied. — 🧧🍊 Paper9oll 🍊🧧 (🔔 • 📝) 11:07, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
