'''Support''' I don't agree with Toomai's reasoning at all. Firstly, the argument you mentioned about consistency with the official names does not apply here. It just so happens that most of the official attack names also happen to be the most commonly used names by the community. As for things like "side smash" vs "forward smash", it's not our fault that the community sometimes arbitrarily decides on the names of moves, and "neutral attack" is one of the least commonly used official names compared to the unofficial term. In addition, I don't think that "it's too much effort to do it" is a good argument. The disparity between SmashWiki's usage of "neutral attack" vs the community's usage of "jab" is not going to get any better. People are going to keep writing articles with "neutral attack" in them, which is only going to make the wiki look further out of date/out of touch, so the best time to fix things is now. We've had cases like this before, where we change the wiki's usage of a widespread term. Usually what happens is that the old phrase gradually gets phased out of the wiki's article text (where a seasoned editor might stumble upon the term "neutral attack" while editing and then change it to "jab" out of convenience). I don't see anything different happening here, and I don't think the issue is as big as you are making it out to be.
