I'm only quasi-on-board with the above suggestion.
I tend to like spellings without the macron (o, u, etc.), because it's actually spelled "ou" or "uu" in a moraically timed language like Japanese. This was more or less the standard on TVT, though it was mainly inspired by the software's idea of /w/.
The other issue is that if we have a page on "Roots", we really don't need to disambiguate that from "Roots, Michigan" or taproots. Mirroring the title there "Roots (TV miniseries)" isn't all that helpful on the current wiki. So I think I want to oppose the above suggestion.
On the other hand, where we do need disambiguation, we might as well match the Wikipedia style. Tags like "(novel)" or "(TV series)" or "(manga)" are better than the uppercase versions. And if you have the AutoComplete gadget on, you don't have to guess the correct namespace, add you did on TVT.
