: If there's just a couple different variants on the name/term, I don't think the page needs a full terminology section; a note that references different examples of the variants is fine, such as how it's handled on [[EX role]]. | : If there's just a couple different variants on the name/term, I don't think the page needs a full terminology section; a note that references different examples of the variants is fine, such as how it's handled on [[EX role]]. | ||
: Something that I think might be helpful to note in the terminology section is whether a term is used in-universe or not. I went down a rabbit hole a couple years back trying to figure out if starter Pokémon or first partner Pokémon was used in-universe, and I feel like the terminology section would be a good place to put that information.

::Yes, I agree about using the Terminology section to figure out if a term is used in-universe or not. | |||
::About the placement, I was thinking that the Terminology section would probably be OK at the top because it informs what are the terms to be used in the rest of the article and lets us know if they are officially used. But I see what you mean... if that's interesting to some readers but the average reader won't care about official usage, then I suppose that moving the Terminology towards the bottom of the page could be the best option indeed. | |||
::At the moment, [[Kris (game)]] appears to be the only article with the Terminology section at the bottom as a subsection of "Names". However, there is also a separate "Optional names" section which we might want to merge with the "Names" as well. | |||
::As I was saying on Discord the other day, the character pages like Kris sometimes have three sections "Names", "Optional names", and "Terminology" on completely separate parts of the same page. Since they are all name-related sections, I think it would be nice to keep them together in some shape or form. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 15:50, 28 April 2024 (UTC) | |||
