 So I suppose in general, '''I oppose making an exception for this'''. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Quintonic 17:25, November 6, 2020 (EST)
+:#Is it not directly against [[SW:SPEC|the fact that SmashWiki isn't speculative]] to put a page under a temporary name before confirmation? The only exceptions to this that I can immediately think of off the top of my head are [[Yggdrasil's Altar]] and [[Spiral Mountain]], both of which were named such to start with because of their Japanese names, which lined up with the English names in the respective games' translations, but even those specifically had [[Template:Japanese name|a thing]] saying the name was based on the Japanese name, not an official one.
+:#I agree, especially since we're, essentially, the primary Smash Bros. wiki.
+:#I can see a case for a merging of all the "Bow" pages to be made, especially given how (as you mentioned) each of them is essentially the same, but I think that, given that most new people would come on here to look for the most recent Smash Bros. game's information, they'd know it under that name instead of the old one—older fans will know the older names, sure, but if it all directs to the same place, then it shouldn't really matter.
+:#I would hardly put the two Critical Hits' differences on the same level as a custom move, given the fact that it's a completely different animation—something that can also be said for the two Zero Lasers. To put Roy's Critical Hit on the same level as a custom move would be putting it on the same level as Young Link's Fire Arrows, the Wolf Flash, and PK Freeze, which are, in essence, the same move as their original counterparts, but ever so slightly different, while Roy's Critical Hit has a completely different animation, despite being under the same name; it does, however, achieve the same purpose as the other one (even if severely underpowered), just like the Zero Laser.
+:I remember you saying that you've been pushing for the guidebook move names to be used, which, I would like to clarify, is not the point of this proposal (and is actually something I support). And I agree, the "inventing names from nothing" should stay.
