Since you wouldn't answer my question, I looked it up. I found four occasions where "Truth-Seeking Ball" is used:


 * 672 - Naruto kicks Madara's ball.
 * 685 - Kaguya notices Naruto's balls.
 * 686 - Zetsu also notices Naruto's balls.
 * 689 - Kaguya makes a giant ball.

(If I've missed one, please point it out to me.)

When a non-ball shape is used, as in 675 and 681, it is not called a "ball" but instead whatever it happens to be at the time (a "staff" or a "platform").

As I've mentioned before, the TSB article makes repeated references to the substance the balls are made of. Before "TSB" is ever used in the series it is consistently treated by characters as a substance. The fact that it is not called a ball for non-ball shapes indicates it's still the substance that's the main interest. Unless you deny the substance exists, making an article for it seems an excellent way to make everyone happy.
