Terms
If a term affects match timing, it belongs on a gameplay page as well as the glossary. Regenerative Shields change disengage rules, Sparkle Mark changes Jubilee target priority, and ultimate-energy conversion changes how fast repeated poke becomes an ultimate.
If a term is cosmetic-only, it should stay out of gameplay pages until official reward data gives a practical acquisition path. That keeps the Season 9 wiki focused on decisions players can act on.
The main confusion risk is mixing names that sound thematic with mechanics that actually change a match. Thebes is a season and map theme until official route data appears. Firework Finale, Sparkle Mark, and Regenerative Shields are mechanical terms because the official pages attach numbers, timing, or combat effects to them.

Thebes explains the current boundary between official theme facts and map details that still need launch verification.
The glossary should not become a second copy of those pages. If a term needs more than a short definition, the durable fix is to expand the focused page and keep this table as the routing layer.
