===Subjects with multiple names | ===Items with shared pages=== | ||
Several items that are part of a "set" share the same page. Items that share pages are those that have a similar name and effect, such as the [[Hamburger]] which covers information on the various burgers in ''EarthBound'' and ''Mother 3'', as well as various equipment such as [[Baseball bat]]s. For these cases, the article either uses a general title which often is the "first stage" in the set (for example the Hamburger), or a generic name that collectively refers to the various items in the set (for example the Baseball bat). | |||
==Subjects with multiple names== | |||
There are several cases where an article's subject has a different name depending on the game. When this happens, the article's title will be decided based on either one of the following criteria: | There are several cases where an article's subject has a different name depending on the game.

In cases like these, any alternative name the subject has been known by should always be mentioned at least once in the article, preferably in the opening paragraph. Finally, when referring to the subject within the context of a specific game, they should be referred to using the name used in that particular game, for instance because the item was named Vial of serum in ''EarthBound'', it should be referred to as that when talking about its appearance specifically in ''EarthBound''. | In cases like these, any alternative name the subject has been known by should always be mentioned at least once in the article, preferably in the opening paragraph.

=== | ===''{{se|Super Smash Bros.}}'' nomenclature=== | ||
Occasionally, the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games will have a subject with a name that differs from the one used in the ''EarthBound'' series. When this happens, the article will prioritize the name that is used in an ''EarthBound'' game instead of ''Smash''. | |||
As an example, the [[Psycho Car]] in ''Smash'' uses the name '''Devil Car''', which is it's Japanese name. However, because it was localized as the Psycho Car in the official English translation of ''EarthBound Beginnings'', the article title prioritizes the name that is used in ''EarthBound Beginnings'' (in this case, the Psycho Car instead of the name used in ''Smash''). | |||
