Historically, this category was reserved only for pages that have no official name equivalent (i.e. it wasn't used on "tilt attack" or "ukemi" but it is on "blast line" and "Slide Launcher"). However, it does make a decent amount of sense to use it on pages like "tilt attack" as it's not an official term, with the counter-argument being that there is an official term that's noted on the page which may confuse people with how the category has always been used.

:The purple "unofficial" icon is set opposite the page title. Ergo, if the ''page title'' isn't the official term, then it's unofficial lingo. Simply mentioning the official term on the page doesn't cancel that (just as, vice-versa, using a non-official title as an "also known as..." in the first sentence shouldn't trigger a purple icon). - [[User:Reboot|Reboot]] ([[User talk:Reboot|talk]]) 21:48, 29 June 2011 (EDT) | |||
