<upd_detl>I remember we had a discussion about when to add explanatory information to a romaji gloss in parentheses, and when to use a separate [expl] gloss. There are many examples of the latter, e.g. the 生け花 entry. I don't remember what the criteria are for the two approaches. 
Can anyone enlighten me? It should go in the editorial guidelines.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Just from observation it seems to me that it is used for native Japanese terms and concepts (like 生け花), but not for foreign terminology. But I may be wrong.

By that standard it would probably apply here. There isn't a way to search for gloss types, is there?</upd_detl>

<upd_refs>Just glanced over an edit done by Robin where [expl] was removed from a non-Japanese concept: 2064770</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>OK. I'll pin that down and reopen it.
When I'm back from travelling I'll draft something for the editorial policy.</upd_detl>
