* I've tried to make the spelling of the terms in the glossary ("chain-throw" instead of "chain throw" or "chain grab") definitive; however, that puts it at odds with the names of a lot of SmashWiki articles ([[chain grab]] is the official article; [[chain throw]] is a redirect).  I plan to change one or the other eventually (frankly, I like "chain throw" better, because the throw is so much more important to the chain than the grab; any grab will work, but only a specific few throws, like Sheik's down throw, can chain).

* There are some terms here that are rarely used ("High-jump glitch") that I keep just because there's no other way to describe the phenomenon.  Maybe I should cull those terms too, in a second wave of edits.  Something I'm considering.

* I plan to comb through this article another time to work out capitalization (which is a little random now).  I go by an instinctual rule - some terms just should be capitalized ("Hyrule Jump," "Luigi Ladder"), and some just shouldn't ("l-cancel," "pivot").  I haven't come up with any specific guidelines for capitalization - stuff (especially events, like the Hyrule Jump) that is very specific is probably more likely to be capitalized, but in the end all I do is run through the terms and see what looks right.
