When a speculation-based name is mentioned on an article and indication is needed to show that the name is conjectural, the template {{tem|conjecturaltext}} is used for the first mention of the name, excluding headers. This template is recommended to be used on [[:Category:Glitches|glitches pages]] in particular, as a vast majority of in-game glitches went unnoticed through development and were discovered through public use. Therefore, Nintendo themselves have not given official names for many glitches. Since most glitches are not given their own article, but merged into one article to the game it appears in, it would be considered inappropriate to just tag the top of the glitch page with <nowiki>{{Conjecture}}</nowiki>, since the template refers to the title of the article, not its content. | When a speculation-based name is mentioned on an article and indication is needed to show that the name is conjectural, the template {{tem|conjecturaltext}} is used for the first mention of the name, excluding headers.

To avoid unsightliness and problems with linking, headers themselves do ''not'' use the template, however the first line of each section should repeat the name in boldface and using <nowiki>{{conjecturaltext}}</nowiki>, in the form: <code><nowiki>{{ | To avoid unsightliness and problems with linking, headers themselves do ''not'' use the template, however the first line of each section should repeat the name in boldface and using <nowiki>{{conjecturaltext}}</nowiki>, in the form: <code><nowiki>{{conjectural|</nowiki>''Glitch name''}}</code>. On an article, it would appear as: {{conjecturaltext|'''Glitch name'''}} (hover your cursor over the text to see the effect of the template). | ||
