:::::::::::::I don't think we should bring the Pokémon Wiki into this as they might have a different decision process, not to mention that neither wiki should base the name of their article on what the other does or doesn't do. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 04:01, 11 August 2013 (UTC) | :::::::::::::I don't think we should bring the Pokémon Wiki into this as they might have a different decision process, not to mention that neither wiki should base the name of their article on what the other does or doesn't do. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 04:01, 11 August 2013 (UTC) | ||
:The major problem with the argument that it ''must'' be renamed is that we have no policy for this specific situation. The happiness/friendship thing didn't transplant an existing page title, while the egg group pages all had "(Egg group)" at the end of their names anyway so transplanting wasn't a problem there. Plus the lack of capitalization makes me doubt this is an official term in the same way that "Ability" is - remember, the series capitalizes terms relating to game mechanics. '''At the very least, we should wait for October 12 before we definitively move this page, to ensure that "base stats" is used in a greater capacity than it has been in the last three generations.'''

::Game mechanics are sometimes capitalized, but [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Pokémon Syntax|plenty aren't]]; not being capitalized has no significance. As for waiting until October 12: this is not a new name, this is an old name that is seeing increased usage making it ''unfeasible'' not to move it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 07:07, 12 August 2013 (UTC) | |||
