Sooo...
Does this mean that "Tether Recovery" is the official name for this type of move? Should we go and add the term to the Link, Young Link and Samus pages? (unsigned by WarxePB)
- at this point, it's completely speculation. so no, do not add it. also, please sign your posts with 4 tildes ~. FyreNWater 03:27, August 16, 2007 (EDT)
- It's speculation? Well, if you say so... But this to me looked like a previously-established gameplay concept getting an actual name in a later release, so I might have supported assigning the name to everywhere else on SmashWiki (which allows some speculation to a small degree, I think).

- Yeah, I tend to agree with Erik. Sakurai does refer to other characters who can use the move; the Tether Recovery functions exactly like the Hookshot and Grapple Beam in SSBM, and I can't imagine any unrevealed characters who have a technique similar to but completely different than the aforementioned items. Oh, and sorry about forgetting the tildes - I seem to do that a lot. >_> WarxePB
- But it's true that this would only be as good as complete speculation to post on the SSB articles on the environment of Wikipedia, though. :/ Erik the Appreciator 03:36, August 16, 2007 (EDT)

The way I see it, Wikipedia's the place where policies on verifiability and no original research are immutable and hardcore because it's for everyone in the world, while SmashWiki is more like something that's maintained by the fans for the fans. It's because of that that I see many serious articles on this wiki using terminology invented by the Smash Bros. community, such as the Wavedash and the Black Hole Glitch; these are unofficial and original names made by the Smash Bros. community, but SmashWiki is a database made by and for the community, so those articles are just fine. So if we start seeing the community at SmashBoards using the term Tether Recovery to describe the Link and Samus Melee moves, that should be grounds for modifying the relevant pages here as such.
