When referring to a prototypical version of a game, avoid using the terms "alpha" and "beta". It's easy to call anything that's "not final" as being "beta", but this term is wrong. The reason being because "alpha" and "beta" can mean different points in development for different developers. Unless the developers specifically brand a point in time or version as being "alpha", "beta", or "pre-release", do not use those terms, as we do not know the real version term. Instead, use "prototype" or "early". For instance, "3 Pikmin could carry a 1 Pellet in a beta version" should be replaced with "3 Pikmin could carry a 1 Pellet in an early version".

===Order for common sections===
Some sections are common to many pages; where present, these should be ordered as follows:
* Glitches
* Technical information
* Gallery
* Trivia
* Names in other languages
* References
* See also
* External links
* navigation templates (this section has no heading)
