New approach.
(Changing the protocol for the naming section. This way, we still link to other articles to avoid repeating info, but the connections are made much clearer, instead of a "see more" link that's easy to overlook and forget about.)
(New approach.)

Most articles should have a section where they explain the subject's names. If applicable, the article should mention the origins, explanations, or inspirations of the names, as well as their meanings and translations. This applies to:

* Common name: The subject's normal U.S. English name. Also its European name, if it differs.
For this, use {{tem|naming}}. If the article's subject has names that derive from another, or uses names that are common in a family, then the respective list item should contain something like "See <link> for details on <word>", with a link to the article+section that details that information. This avoids having to explain what the same words mean over several different articles.
* Japanese Common name: Its common name in the Japanese version.
* ''[[Pikipedia:Japanese#Japanese names and common names|Japanese name]]'': Its ''Japanese name''.
* Genus: An explanation of its genus name(s).
* Species: Same as the genus, but for the creature's species, if it has one.
* Subspecies: Same as the genus, but for the creature's subspecies, if it has one.
* Internal name: Its internal name(s). Remember that ''Hey! Pikmin'' also has specific names in the area generator files.
* Prerelease: Its name(s) in [[Prerelease information|prerelease]] versions.
 
This section should contain a list, formatted the same way as the list above. If the article's subject has names that derive from another, or uses names that are common in a family, then the respective list item should be "See <link>", with a link to the article that details that information. This avoids having to explain what the same words mean over several different articles. If any extra notes are needed beyond the link, they can be added too.


If the "Naming" section is created, the "Names in other languages" section should be a subsection of this one, and should make use of {{tem|foreignname}}.
