Every term the docs, data and code use for the game's data, once: what it means, and where its name comes from (Names). Other names are the game's other word for the same thing, where it has two, and what the reference tools call it, so it can be searched for; they're never used in our docs. Terms are added only once the owner has approved them (R31: decisions (plan/R31-names.md#decisions-for-the-owner) approved 2026-10-11).
