I noticed that the predecessor is referred to as a "prequel" in this template. This is actually incorrect terminology, as a "prequel" (portmanteau of pre and sequel) is normally something that is released ''after'' the work, but set before it in its timeline (i.e. if a game set before the original Pikmin is released, that's a prequel to Pikmin, but Pikmin is not a prequel to Pikmin 2). "Predecessor" (as used in the template documentation) would be a more accurate term; I am thinking this should be changed in the template, but wanted to bring it up on the talk page first.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] ([[User talk:Vellidragon|talk]]) 11:40, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

Predecessor

I noticed that the predecessor is referred to as a "prequel" in this template. This is actually incorrect terminology, as a "prequel" (portmanteau of pre and sequel) is normally something that is released after the work, but set before it in its timeline (i.e. if a game set before the original Pikmin is released, that's a prequel to Pikmin, but Pikmin is not a prequel to Pikmin 2). "Predecessor" (as used in the template documentation) would be a more accurate term; I am thinking this should be changed in the template, but wanted to bring it up on the talk page first.--Vellidragon (talk) 11:40, 25 July 2013 (EDT)

You're absolutely right. Feel free to change it. Even though it's an important edit that can break infoboxes, it's for the best, and it won't really break anything. — {EspyoT} 14:52, 25 July 2013 (EDT)
