Why was this changed? Why is it so different to the in-game type palettes? Can it be changed back, or at least have their saturation reduced so they're not difficult or painful to read? {{unsigned|Tommaniacal}} | Why was this changed?

== "Terminology" section == | |||
As discussed today on Discord, several articles have a "Terminology" section about how and where several possible names have been used in official media, including the games, anime, manga, manuals, guidebooks, videos, trailers, websites, and internal data. | |||
It appears that in some past discussions, the "Terminology" section has been used for purposes like these: | |||
* Telling if a term is officially used as opposed to a fan term, such as the fact that "[[signature move]]" has sometimes been used officially. | |||
* Discerning the correct spelling and/or capitalization of each term according to official usage, such as how "[[legendary birds]]" starts with a lowercase "legendary". | |||
Some examples of pages with this section: | |||
* {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} each have a long "Terminology" section, but {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Lucas}}, and {{ga|Dawn}} each have a shorter one. [[Daisy Oak]] has this section with information about her name and surname. | |||
* These "Terminology" sections are currently pretty short with just a few notes about usage variations: [[Move]], [[Gym Leader]], [[Region]], [[Dynamax]], [[Spin-off Pokémon games]], [[Rocky wall]], [[Egg Pokémon (Masters)]], {{TCG|Booster pack}}, [[Starter deck]], {{tc|Ace Trainer}}, {{tc|PI}}, etc. | |||
* These "Terminology" sections are longer: [[Pokémon (species)]], [[Stat]], [[Badge]], [[Friendship]], [[Signature move]], [[Terastal phenomenon]], [[Poké Doll]], [[Pass]], [[Secret Medicine]], [[Status move]], [[Legendary birds]], [[Route]], [[Cerulean Cave]], [[Silph Co]], [[Cinnabar Island]], [[S.S. Aqua]], {{adv|Red, Green & Blue arc}}, etc. | |||
* There are some separate terminology pages: [[Terminology of Primal Reversion]], [[Terminology of Shiny Pokémon]], [[Terminology of first partner Pokémon]], and so on. The main pages like [[Primal Reversion]], [[Shiny Pokémon]], and [[First partner Pokémon]] typically have a short summary in the "Terminology" section, with a link to the separate terminology pages. | |||
Some questions: | |||
* The "Terminology" section is currently placed at the top of the page, directly below the intro. Is this placement OK? | |||
* Is the section name "Terminology" appropriate for all pages? In particular, is it appropriate for names of individual people like {{ga|Red}}? | |||
* Would you change anything else in the "Terminology" sections? | |||
Thanks. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 08:22, 25 April 2024 (UTC) | |||
