I still feel that "Water (terrain)" and "Ice (terrain)" are much better titles than the current ones, and that all of the other "tile" articles should just have no disambiguator whatsoever. The word "tile" is no longer really applicable to what the articles talk about, and "Water" and "Ice" are the only ones that really need extra stuff in their titles to avoid confusing people.

:I think "Water (terrain)" is probably a better title. These pages were created back when the games were strictly tile-based, but in games like Pokémon Sword and Shield the overworld is much more freeform. I don't think it's necessarily wrong to use "water tile" to refer to the environment in Sword and Shield, but I think "Water (terrain)" is probably a better term. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 01:10, 4 December 2021 (UTC) | :I think "Water (terrain)" is probably a better title.

::As for the "(terrain)" suffix, I imagine that'd be used for like actual terrain effects (should pages like [[User: | ::As for the "(terrain)" suffix, I imagine that'd be used for like actual terrain effects (should pages like [[User:Coffee/Sandbox/Psychic_Terrain|this]] be mainspaced), and that's what I'd intuitively understand it to mean as an editor.

:::I maintain that "Water (X)" and "Ice (X)" are better than what we have currently, with the other "tile" articles being moved to remove the term. The question seems to be what "X" should be. I'm happy with "terrain", but it may clash with the [[terrain]] mechanic. I'm also happy with "obstacle". I'm slightly less happy with "flooring", "object" or "substance" (or, heck, "tile"), but I can see how they could work. There's probably more alternatives, but I can't think of any right now.
