::I think it should be OK to use English unofficial translations in the attack categories since we use those translations as the attack names in the card articles anyway.

:::Yeah, that was the idea. Not one of my better ones though, for those reasons. A template would work. It probably should be a parameter in the category's text template, since unlike a card page these category pages are done entirely by template.

On the back of the earlier conversation at [[#Type symbol representation as letters]], I think its good to start a conversation about if we want to move the 9 Basic energy pages to reflect their current terminology by adding the word "Basic" to the page title, seeing as move templates have already been placed on a few pages. In terms of history, this terminology change occured during the Sword and Shield Series internationally, though occuring much earlier in the Asian TCG (LEGEND Series). In the Sword and Shield Series, The "Basic___Energy" terminology was first found in the Chilling Reign Player's guide (which was the first set in the series to feature a basic energy card in its set list), and subsequently followed up in the players guide of Evolving Skies, Fusion Strike and Crown Zenith. TCG Live used this terminology since its launch with the Brilliant Stars expansion. Since the Scarlet & Violet Series launch all new products refer to "Basic___Energy" and the last mention of "___Energy" occured on the back of the {{TCG|Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR League Battle Deck}} product box, incidentally one of the last new products to lauch with exclusively Sword and Shield Series cards. Official Setlists such as the one for [https://www.pokemon.com/static-assets/content-assets/cms2/pdf/trading-card-game/checklist/prize_pack_series_1_web_cardlist_en.pdf Prize Pack Series 1] and [https://asia.pokemon-card.com/sg/card-search/list/?expansionCodes=Basic%20Energy%20SWSH card databases] reaffirm that TPC uses this updated terminology even when referring to older prints of cards, without the card name being printed on it. | |||
Given that we are also attempting to use official terminology as a matter of principle, even if it changes over time, I therfore would suggest we move the pages in question. Doing so will also give us the additional benefit of unifing all Basic Energy types under the (TCG) suffix, which currently doesnt happen due to the need to differentiate basic and special varients of darkness and metal energy prints.
