::::::::The problem is that the midair jump in Super Smash Bros. does not adhere to Wiktionary's definition. "To execute a '''second''' jump while still in midair from the '''first''' jump." The "double" jumps from Super Smash Bros. can apply to Kirby's floating, jumping after getting hit, and jumping after falling off, so they're not double jumps. As I said, "cover" and "remix" are also two different terms that culture uses interchangeably; common misconceptions are also ingrained in culture: "redecos" and "repaints"; "ports", "remakes", "enhanced ports", and "re-releases". Just because a lot of people use it doesn't make it any more accurate.

:::::::::The double jump from Team Fortress 2 acts the same: you can use it without having technically made the first jump. And it's still called a double jump, officially in fact (as far as I'm aware). | |||
:::::::::My point is that "midair jump" and "double jump" have ''the exact same meaning to people who play video games'', and as a result we should go with the more common term. It's Jakob's Law - "Users spend most of their time on other websites.", describing how being familiar is more important than being unique.
