Where on the wiki are Viz's translations enforced? Characters don't, as I pointed out. Jutsu don't, as I pointed out. Even the 700+ chapters and volumes don't; if you use Special:RandomInCategory/Chapters, probably the article title will differ from whatever Viz translation is given in the infobox. Some articles do much Viz, sure, but that's not as a result of any conscious effort to do so.

 * "Kakashi: Shadow of the ANBU Black Ops"

Wiki uses:
 * Kakashi's Anbu Arc: The Shinobi That Lives in the Darkness

Viz uses:
 * "Itachi's Story - Light and Darkness"

Wiki uses:
 * Itachi Shinden Book: Light and Darkness

If you're going to call everything that the English anime or manga does "official", and if your heart is going to bleed for those articles that use whatever random translator says instead of what the licensed translation says, then you should want to extend it to the entire wiki, not just anime episodes.
 * "are arguably more official than any names we come up with"
 * "names given by the wiki's translations are confusing to users and don't match what they're officially called"

If, however, you are only interested in anime episodes following Viz, and if you feel it is acceptable for those episode articles to differ from what the other 90% of the wiki does, then go ahead with that.
