To explain in a bunch of words.

This wiki has had an real issue with how we display information that is not specifically given to us in the manga. One of the oldest examples is Body Pathway Derangement, which states to disrupt the electrical current in the body so people came to believe it to be Lightning Release. This situation was never really solved, just shoved out the way and ignored.

Fast forward many years later and Seelentau brought up an issue with Blaze Release where we are calling it an Advance Nature despite not knowing could possibly make it (beyond Fire because...seriously) and it not being like any other Advance Nature. What this lead to was a spiraling discussion of pissed off rhetoric (not really) that all boiled down to how we handle information that we haven't been specifically told and should we either;


 * Not say anything at all and make no assumptions. (I.E. We can't say it is advance nature because nobody specifically said it was a advance nature.
 * Make use of past information to form a conclusion (Blaze Release is called a "Release", follows a predsigned format blah-blah-blah)
 * Something about Chicokrita and why it is the best Pokemon ever.

And that was the discussion in a nutshell.
