 Should we add the color changes of a Shiny Pokémon in their Biology section? [[User:ThePokéNerd1996|ThePokéNerd1996]] ([[User talk:ThePokéNerd1996|talk]]) 22:19, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 :I think the main problem is that the Shinies changes so much.

+== Article titles: X in the Pokémon world ==
+It seems we currently have 13 articles (non-redirects) with the wording "in the Pokémon world" or "of the Pokémon world" like this:
+* [[Air transportation in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Animals in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Death in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Flora of the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Illness in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Land transportation in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Magazines in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Movies in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Radio in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Transportation in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Water transportation in the Pokémon world]]
+* [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world]]
+I wonder if that part can be removed so at least some articles would look like this:
+* [[Air transportation]]
+* [[Animal]]
+* [[Death]]
+* [[Flora]]
+* [[Ghost]] / [[Ghost (general)]] or something
+* [[Illness]]
+* [[Land transportation]]
+* [[Magazine]] / [[Magazine (in-universe)]] or something
+* [[Movie]] / [[Movie (in-universe)]] or something
+* [[Radio]]
+* [[Transportation]]
+* [[Water transportation]]
+* [[Weaponry]]
+Basically, if we just remove the "in the Pokémon world" and the preceding space, this would save typing 21 characters (22 if you count typing the accent).
+Maybe this applies to some cases and not others, but the "in the Pokémon world" can be considered redundant if it's already obvious that we are talking about the Pokémon world.
+You know, this wording "in the Pokémon world" is not really present in all the possible article titles where it could be. Shouldn't we have some kind of consistent rule? For instance, if we keep this wording, should [[Human]], [[Television]], and [[Weather]] be moved to [[Humans in the Pokémon world]], [[Television in the Pokémon world]], and [[Weather in the Pokémon world]] as well?
+I talked a bit with other admins about this. If I understand correctly, one argument for keeping that "in the Pokémon world" wording would be to tell the difference between in-universe and real-life perspectives. So we have [[Pokémon movie]] for the movies made in real-life about Pokémon, and [[Movies in the Pokémon world]] for the movies created in-universe.
+Similarly, it seems we have [[Death in the Pokémon world]] instead of a [[Death]] article because we are not going to actually write text explaining real-life deaths. In this case, this makes sure the article is only about the in-universe perspective. On the other hand, I would argue that the "Death" title would probably still be OK and it would not require content about real-life deaths anyway. You know, we have [[Human]] instead of [[Humans in the Pokémon world]], and this article is still about in-universe humans.
+In any case, there's a problem about the subject of ghosts. It seems that people would normally expect the page title [[Ghost]] to be about the [[Ghost (type)]], right? In that case, it appears we are not going to use the article title [[Ghost]] to talk about all kinds of unrelated ghosts like the current article [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world]].
+There's a minor recurring anime character named Flora. I would suggest perhaps using the article title [[Flora]] to explain the plants and [[Flora (anime)]] for the character. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 15:58, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
