::::An example of using an unofficial name instead of an unused name is ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} [[hazard generator]]s. These have unused names, but using those names would make things difficult on the wiki; for example, "gaseous spring" doesn't describe the poison pipes in ''Pikmin 2'', "electrode" is the same as a ''Pikmin 3'' object that functions very differently, and the terms "geyser" and "air geyser" are used to describe the hazardous water geyser and the helpful geyser that propels the leader upwards respectively, which would be difficult to document considering the helpful geysers in previous games use water. Since we don't have to use these names, it's easier to use unofficial names. — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 21:41, July 11, 2024 (EDT) | ::::An example of using an unofficial name instead of an unused name is ''Pikmin 4''{{'s}} [[hazard generator]]s.

:::::If I may add, "stubborn" isn't necessarily vague or complicated. Sure, it's something of a personification, but the rocks ''could'' be described that way. I agree with Twins1105 in the sense that giving it the "wall" name at all wouldn't adequately describe it because it has very little to do with the official users of that title. As I'm sure you all know they're destroyed or subverted by the direct actions of Pikmin while these require them to push a ball that doesn't always even collide with them (in the Formidable Oak it breaks a Crystal Wall instead), so I think referring to them as "wall" might not be appropriate. But then there's the fact that the internal name could make it harder for casual players to find the article. Maybe the page could say that it is colloquially known as something that it may be more commonly described as? (Note: I wrote this before seeing Soprano's addition to the page.)
