It is true that there are many dubs out there (though surely not many as there are translation of Harry Potter and Disney media, yet those are the Wikis where all translations are canonical!), but I should imagine that the number of translations which mention entirely new concepts or characters are few and far between.

I consequently see little harm in allowing that there be pages like Palmirinha and GoldenEye 007, either with invalid tags or with alternate-account language using the foreign title, as can be seen at GoldenEye 007 currently. Which, yes, would be linked to from a behind-the-scenes section called "Localisation" or something of the sort. This is really not very different from the way we cover Magpie Electricals's cameo in the animated The Power of the Daleks recon.

There is, of course, Thread:259163 still open; there, we are debating how best to source information from CGI additions and reconstructions which feels sort of relevant to how we might want to cite dubs in pages like GoldenEye 007. Something like what's currently done at that page, but linking to the #Localisation (or, as it were, #Reconstruction) section under the pipe trick, sounds like a strong proposal, however.

(Oh, just so everyone's on the same page, I'll mention that Carmen Miranda, from the same source as Palmirinha, was also deleted with an identical rationale.)
