They at one point had an entire "note" on a Ninja Steel character being similar to Miratrix because one time they wore a slightly similar outfit. |

Go through the notes on enough pages and you'll see ridiculous stuff along the lines of "this person is a blue ranger, which makes him similar to this other blue ranger".

Doesn't the fact that it's gone show that the Wiki is high enough quality to get rid of bullshit like that? Besides, I don't see how a post about some minor character has anything to do with the translation of a Sentai name. Not only would those pieces of information be uploaded by different people, but the fact that the translation is still there without being corrected implies that it's correct. There's still a ton of information on the wiki that is correct. A few weird posts that aren't even there anymore isn't enough reason to doubt it

I never said the name translation was wrong. I was just telling you that the Wiki is not always reliable. |

Like almost all wiki's, it is filled with the most minute "details" that are usually made on a whim by the insane people that patrol that site. |

The wiki is broadly useful, but it is very sub-par in many places; the trivia section is a mess 9 times out of 10 and it does get some things wrong.
I think in the case of translations it's mostly fine and never really incorrect, though it can be very literal and put certain sources on a pedestal.

They claimed Juran was the first dinosaur mecha in the Reiwa Era, completely forgetting about poor Smog Jouki. They couldn't make up their minds about whether the text color for Zenkaizer should be red or black, causing it to switch between them constantly.
I admit the wiki can be helpful, but yeah, the trivia section is full of nonsense and errors and some information gets omitted. Just cause they don't say Mage is part of Kiramager doesn't mean it's not. Just means they don't know or don't bother to add it. Sometimes they will say stuff without any citation and expect you to take their word for it.

Zyuohger is the best option. ToQger is still considered too niche, LuPat can't be used due to 1. The current political climate surrounding police and 2. Because they don't want to portray Rangers as thieves, regardless of context, Zenkaiger would require a Super Megaforce treatment of "Legendary Powers" for half their abilities, and Kyuranger's 12 ranger roster is just too big.
Kiramager is also an option, but I think Zyuoh's animal theming would sell better.
