User:Nintendo64Fan/Use of "Beta"

This is a little page that will examine misuses of the terms "beta" and "prototype" and a few others that were in the Beta Elements pages before I changed them. It will explain why it's misuse and the proper ways to use the terms, hopefully becoming a reference for future Beta Elements pages. It's under construction for now.

Misuse of these terms

Misuse of cancelled

I only saw this a few times, but the fact that it was there in the first place surprised me nonetheless. Simply put, any thing from an earlier build of the game is NOT cancelled. While it may look okay at first, cancelled is a completely bad term to use. Unused content isn't "cancelled", it simply isn't used in the final game but remains in the game's files or whatever anyway. Something from an earlier build of the game isn't cancelled, it simply was removed.
