Maybe this would be inconsistent with some other pages, but would it be considerable to think about renaming this page to Crushing? I feel like Crush doesn't sum it up as a hazard and made me originally think it had some relation to the [[Crush Nugget]] (but that's probably just me). Like, in a conversation, you'd say "Crushing is a hazard", not "Crush is a hazard", at least in my mind.

:As a general rule it's a good idea to follow {{w|Wikipedia:Article titles#Use nouns|Wikipedia's style}}. In it, it says to use nouns instead of verbs, which we do for stuff like [[whistle]] (not "whistling"), [[punch]] (not "punching"), [[combat]] (not "fighting"). It also says sometimes the noun corresponding to a verb is just the verb's gerund. So with all of that, I think "Crushing" would indeed by the right way to name this. On the other hand, we have [[P:TITLE|our own policies]], which says to use the infinitive instead of the gerund.

Different name

A different name for the page could be Physical Force, so that both crushing and stabbing could fall into the same category. The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.93.54.135 • (talk) • (contribs)

Hm, that's not specific enough. It could make players think this also applies to getting knocked back by shaking, for instance, or apply to a punch, or something. — {EspyoT} 14:55, December 1, 2021 (EST)
