BelloEdit

Regardless of whether it's an unofficial name, now that we have the {{derived}} template, I think it should be used (and not necessarily because I'm the one who made it up); plus, it's a much better unofficial name than "Quarto", which was made up without understanding the etymology of Porto.

The derived template should be used only when the name can be derived from internal/other languages through clear patterns taken from other subjects. In this case, the name Bello, while certainly would fit with the etymology of Porto, is still ultimately a shot in the dark, since the Toad themself is never referred to in any language. What if, like Porto is short for Portobello, this Toad is actually called Chante, short for Chanterelle? It's not a clear enough case for a derived name. — Lady Sophie   (T|C) 20:58, July 3, 2025 (EDT)
