This is not settled convention but a tentative suggestion for those who need to mention the name of Japanese emperor right now. Your usage might be changed after the convention is settled. But it is not your responsibility to keep text you wrote consistent with new convention. Never hesitate to contribute an article containing the name of Japanese emperor.
