::FWIW, your question in conjunction with [[User talk:Force Fire/List of moves with unique animations#SM034 moves|an earlier question about the same issue]] shows ''exactly'' why we require explicit identification: You've concluded that Marowak's head shining means it's using Headbutt, while FinnishPokeFan92 observed the same thing and concluded it was Iron Head. You both can't be right, and you might both be wrong. And it will always be possible for disagreements to happen over these kind of "eye of the beholder" assumptions for ''any'' move that's not explicitly identified and doesn't have a unique animation.

:::So.. Lemme get this straight: The mods decided on a shitty rule, did no announcements for it, AND it applies only starting with SM? Wow, honestly, that's kind of ridiculous. And this rule is kind of dumb because wild mons very rarely have their moves named, so... It's self-sabotage at its finest..--[[User:ShallowShaddoll|ShallowShaddoll]] ([[User talk:ShallowShaddoll|talk]]) 23:58, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

::::I know I explained it to a number of people when we decided it should be strictly enforced. (What I'm also saying there is that I believe it's been the ideal for a long time, but it was allowed to slide and/or may have gone mostly unnoticed. One of the older staff—especially one more familiar with anime matters—would know about that better than I.)
::::And you seem to think we're saying it's OK to assume for moves from XY or earlier, but that's ''absolutely'' not the case. It applies to any move move in any episode. If a move has previously been attributed that violates this rule, that should be fixed (or discussed). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:07, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
