 *The name used in the most games throughout the series.
-For the former, the article will use the name it is referred to in ''EarthBound''. For example, in the case of the enemy [[Mr. Batty]], which was referred to as '''Mr.Bat''' in ''EarthBound Beginnings'', the article will use the name used in ''EarthBound''.
+For the former bullet point, the article will use the name it is referred to in ''EarthBound''. For example, in the case of the enemy [[Mr. Batty]], which was referred to as '''Mr.Bat''' in ''EarthBound Beginnings'', the article will use the name used in ''EarthBound'' (in this case Mr. Batty).
-For the latter, the name used in the unofficial ''Mother 3 Fan Translation'' will also be taken into account. As an example, the item known as the [[Antidote]] in both ''EarthBound Beginnings'' and ''Mother 3'' is referred to as the '''Vial of serum''' in ''EarthBound'', but are meant to be the same item, as such because the former was used more, '''Antidote''' was chosen as the article title.
+In cases where something has appeared in both ''EarthBound'' and ''Mother 3'', but the nane used in the latter's fan translation differers from what it was in ''EarthBound'' (e.g. the [[Ramblin' Evil Mushroom]], which was shortened to '''Ramblin' Mushroom''' in ''Mother 3''), the name used in ''EarthBound'' will still take priority.
-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. 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''.
