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.

 ===Naming section===
 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:
-*The subject's normal U.S. English name.
-*Its European name (if it differs from the U.S. one.)
-*Its Japanese name.
-*Its genus name(s) (for family articles only, species name as well if the species contains a subspecies).
-*Its species name (for enemy articles only, subspecies instead if the enemy has one).
-*Its internal name.
-*Its internal name(s) in area generator files (for ''Hey! Pikmin'' only).
-*Its [[Prerelease information|prerelease]] name(s).
-If the article's subject has names that derive from another, or uses names that are common in a family, series, etc., then this section should start with {{tem|see more}} and point to the articles that contain the other information. This avoids having to explain what the same words mean over several different articles. 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}}.
+* Common name: The subject's normal U.S. English name. Also its European name, if it differs.
+* 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 &lt;link&gt;", 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}}.
