Pheonixhearted wrote: 'beta clothing' should just be called 'good clothing' to solve this No one says "good clothing" though when they mean clothing betas. Typically when someone says "trade me good clothing", it means just random good-looking out of store clothing. So that wouldn't improve upon anything.

Personally, I think everyone who gets mad over the fact some things are nicknamed "beta" here (despite not actually being beta) is making a big deal over nothing. All the pages with non-beta items that are nicknamed "beta" LITERALLY say that they're not actually from the Beta Testing if you were to read the page. Also, if they want to determine whether something really came from the Beta Testing as if it matters (personally I don't see why anyone cares, beta clothing and den betas except for Beta Books can all be won in TFD, so whether or not they're actually from the Beta Testing has no effect on their rarity), they can go to the AJ Wiki and find out.

Changing the whole titles of pages just over the technicality of them not actually being beta would do more harm than good, because people call them "beta [insert item here]" so it's just more useful to use the name that people call them. It'd make it harder to search up items if we were forced to change things to their technical names.

Also, I notice there tends to be sort of a double standard whenever people get outraged over this "beta naming" thing. They're usually the same people who still say "beta tails" despite being upset over something being wrongly called beta. And I don't blame them. AJ messages have a small character limit so saying "I'm looking for a Pink Monthly Member Gift Beta Elf Tail, I'm offering [offer here]" probably wouldn't even fit because of how long that technical name is.
