This isn't an official wiki that is endorsed by Kishimoto, Studio Pierrot, TV Tokyo etc: it's a fan wiki that chooses to record stuff that happens in the anime and manga canonically and everything we do here is for fans. Or are you telling me we're trying to appeal to the official legal peeps and want to get this wiki "endorsed and official" so that we're paid to improve this wiki?

I have zero clue why you dragged up Kishi's name into this, he has nothing -- absolute zippo -- to do with the anime, he will NEVER come up with names for any anime filler arc, don't drag up names in the hopes it will improve your case.

As I have said: whatever names we use are our choice. We are not forced into using any official names whatsoever. The fans of this series who only come for information on this series are most likely not going to give two shits as to whether we use official names or not: it's also good to point out that technically, in the eyes of the legal peeps, this whole wiki is illegal anyway. So in my opinion, us using official names (which are technically fan translations unless you obtained them from an official source) makes us more susceptible to being taken down.

First of all, the reason Kishimoto was mentioned is because you're saying unless it comes from the author's mouth, manga or databook it is not official.

Secondly, I have stated I am open to the option of using the crunchyroll translations for these official anime titles.

I'm not saying everything has to be official. I'm saying that if chapters, episodes, movies, ova's, video games, databooks, omake's, canon arcs, etc. use official titles, we should be consistent and do the same for filler arcs. I wouldn't have a problem with fan-named arcs if everything else was fan-named cause it's consistent. Official or fan-named, I don't care as long as it's consistent. Naming one thing by it's official name and another thing by a fan-made name is inconsistent.

It's not about fan-named vs official, it's about consistency. I don't care which one we choose, as long as we are consistent in whichever we choose. As a wikia, everything should be one in a consistent manner to avoid any confusion.
