Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

What language do we use for what? Throughout the entirety of EE, it's been inconsistent at best and words have been used semi-interchangably:
wait nevermind i don't care enough to make this super-coherent & fancy
blocks:
anything you can place in a world, action blocks, decor etc
specifically collision-y ones
(sometimes referred to as "bricks")
also brick blocks = oh my god that's confusing
mostly just a spelling thing.
-eys is used in interface
-ies in code:
this one doesn't really matter because it's just spelling but still. is there a consensus?
this is probalby specifically wiki but which is better:
all-caps (GKABYSSFLORIDA, BENJAMINSEN)
first letter (Gkabyssflorida, Benjaminsen)
rooms on the forums
levels mostly in ee?
made in worlds
maps sounds cool tho
so basically levels vs world
this is more of a community-based one
I'm asking all of this because wiki, which exists btw
replace the current usage of "blocks" meaning "anything that is placed in the world" (action, blocks, decor, etc) to "tiles" (so, in the block bar where it says "level bricks" change it to "level tiles" [tile packs])
(because tiles sounds nice and isn't vague)
make specifically-the-first-tab, those-things-you-collide-with be "blocks"
like ye i get it it's bc chris vs shoe vs nouvd but still
consensus pls

I'm sticking with worlds, smileys and blocks both for interface and code in the unity version.
Maybe first tab could be named foreground instead of blocks in block selector but definitely not tiles.
Offline
Could have a tab for actions only.
This is a false statement.

(If this post should be moved into a new topic, let me know)
There are a few more capitalization inconsistencies:
Shop > Featured
Everything is in Title Case except:
- "Pink aura color" -> "Pink Aura Color"
- "Cyan aura color" -> "Cyan aura color"
- "Torus aura shape" -> "Torus Aura Shape"
- "Pinwheel aura shape" -> "Pinwheel aura shape"
Shop > Smileys
Some smileys do not have descriptions.
- "Daredevil": no description
- "Lady": no description
- "Sunburned": no description
Blocks > Arctic
The numbers "2" and "5" should be spelled out because they are not used in a scientific measurement and they are less than 10.
Shop > Worlds
Some worlds do not have a description.
- "Small Saved World": no description
- "Medium World": no description
- "Large World": no description
- "Wide World": this description is missing a period at the end
Shop > Classic
- Tourist smiley is missing a description
- various periods missing from ends of sentences.
Shop > Crews
- Various periods missing from ends of sentences.
Terms of Service
The word "gamedesign" at the end should have a space separating the two words: "game design".

wouldn't work because it's still inconsistent; some blocks are in the background and some decorations are in the foreground

Have a foreground/background sub section for decorations and blocks perhaps.

smileys vs smilies
The original smileys came from Facebook and they say smileys.

I would be fine with the tiles situation. I don't find anyone getting wholy confused tbh? We all know what it means, with or without all these, uh, synonyms, but I'm not opposed to some consistency.

I always say that English is a horribly botched up language. It's strange how "monies" would be irregular when that seems like a perfectly regular form to me. There are too many irregularities and differences in the English language to tell what's what a lot of the time.

I spent 2 hours looking for the answer to smileys or smilies and felt used by the English language afterwards.

Here's some information that could help in clearing your mind:
Blocks could refer to:
• Solid blocks (or bricks) aka Blocks
• One-way blocks located in Blocks
• Half blocks located in Blocks
• Action blocks
• Decorative blocks
• Background blocks
* The capitalized "Blocks" refers to the set of blocks in EE comprised of the solid blocks, one-way blocks, and half blocks. The lowercase "blocks" on the other hand refers to all the blocks in EE — Blocks, Action, Decorative, and Background.
Bricks could refer to:
• Solid blocks aka Blocks
• Brick blocks located in Blocks
Smileys is the proper, correct plural for the word 'smiley,' since it follows one of the rules of pluralization i.e. <word + -s>.
Smilies is an irregular plural term, since it doesn't follow the said rule — the '-ey' is replaced with <'-ie' + -s>.
For example, the plural of 'baby' is 'babies', but the plural of 'monkey' is 'monkeys.'
-y = <replace '-y' with '-ie'; + -s>
-ey = <word + -s>
* The above also applies to the moneys-monies conundrum.
soapfish is fine.
Soapfish is fine.
SOAPFISH is fine.
SF is fine.
SoapFish is fine.
* It all depends on the referral, in my opinion.
Users could refer to:
• Persons who use or play the game.
• Persons who use the forums (to whatever they desire).
Players could refer to:
• Persons who play or participate the game.
A world refers to the area wherein the player builds.
A map refers to either the minimap or the picture of the whole room.
A room refers to either the creation/s in a world (anything from art to minigames) or the part of a building (which is also located in a room, if ingame).
A level refers to a section of an ingame minigame.
The Aura is the shape that surrounds the player's smiley when on God Mode.
The Aura shape is the specific shape of the Aura.
The Aura color is the visible color/s of the Aura.
* The "Auras" in the Shop should be replaced with "Aura".
The Shop is where almost anything game-related can be bought with energy, gems, or real money.
The Energy Shop is not real, since there are items that can be bought with gems andor real money.
The Store is an alternative term rarely mentioned.

You were so close... Very rarely do I see somebody properly use the actual list BBCode!

I like the complexity. It shows that the game has developed to the point where multiple terms exist that can be used "semi-interchangeably", yet with subtle differences in meaning:
Blocks are anything that can be placed, but bricks are usually solid. You'd place a brick in a level or in a world, but probably not in a room, and a nice world isn't necessarily a nice level.
One bot to rule them all, one bot to find them. One bot to bring them all... and with this cliché blind them.
