:::''Malicious'' itself derives from ''mal-''; there's no need to mention every single word that includes a root prefix. Mentioning ''mal-'' (though we should probably include the prefix-denoting final hyphen and/or write out its definition, considering that it can be confused at a glance with ''male'', as you've demonstrated) should be enough to get the point across that ''malicious'', ''malevolent'', and other ''mal-'' words are applicable as well.

::::well you should have brackets saying it means bad instead of hyperlinking it to an at-first-glance misleading definition(it says it comes from "the latin adverb ''male''" which I misunderstood as male instead of bad) [[User:0danmaster0|0danmaster0]] ([[User talk:0danmaster0|talk]]) 20:34, 19 July 2013 (UTC) | ::::well you should have brackets saying it means bad instead of hyperlinking it to an at-first-glance misleading definition(it says it comes from "the latin adverb ''male''" which I misunderstood as male instead of bad) [[User:0danmaster0|0danmaster0]] ([[User talk:0danmaster0|talk]]) 20:34, 19 July 2013 (UTC) | ||
:::::That's what I'm saying. None of us have permission to edit the page, though, so it's moot until October when the games come out and XY pages start getting unlocked. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:05, 19 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
