Articles on treasures and fruits say what real-world item the treasure or fruit is based on, and the way this is done varies. Most articles use "actually", for example "The [[Dual Wheeler]] is actually a pair of glasses", while some don't, for example "The [[Tear Stone]] is a tear-shaped sapphire gem". I think this use of "actually" is unnecessary and makes the sentence sound very unprofessional, but it's also very prevalent through treasure articles. Is it worth having guidelines on how to say what real-world item a treasure or fruit is, or should it be allowed to vary by article? &mdash; [[User:Botanist|'''Botanist''']]<sub>[[User talk:Botanist|''(talk)'']]</sub> 02:49, June 24, 2021 (EDT)

:I think it should be standardized, but it's not important enough to warrant a guideline. I vote for the word being removed. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 15:53, June 26, 2021 (EDT)

::So I guess what should be done is "if you're editing a treasure article, remove it, but otherwise don't worry about it"? &mdash; [[User:Botanist|'''Botanist''']]<sub>[[User talk:Botanist|''(talk)'']]</sub> 18:19, June 26, 2021 (EDT)
