Shouldn't this be called "Summoned Skull (series)"? Most are treated as that name. The only card with Skull Archfiend in its name is a pretty minor part of it. --84.203.7.14 (talk) 19:55, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Skull Archfiend of Lightning isn't even treated as a full member of the series here anymore from the looks of it, making the name even more inaccurate. --84.203.7.14 (talk) 19:57, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Why must we name a series the same as a card and having to use bracketed clarifications if we can avoid it? --XBrain130™「Ｘ（エックス）ブレーン１３０」 20:06, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

The thing that links all monsters is they are referred to as "Summoned Skull", thus being a Summoned Skull series. Skull Archfiend of Lightning has no relevance gameplay-wise, and isn't even treated as a member here, so why would the name come from it? It's like how the Flame Swordsman (series) is named because all the cards mention Flame Swordsman, rather than being named something like "Flame Sword". --84.203.7.14 (talk) 20:09, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

You dont have to necessarily think of it as coming from Skull Archfiend of Lightning, its just a convenient name that works well enough regardless because they're "Summoned Skull-based Archfiends" ("Summoned Skull Archfiend" perhaps as an alternative?). The Flame Swordsman series is called that both because the page already existed under that name and most monsters do have it in their original names. (so alternatively, "Archfiend's"?) --XBrain130™「Ｘ（エックス）ブレーン１３０」 20:22, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

I suppose that logic is sound enough that the name works. It just seems to me that any series specifically centered around a card on this wiki is named "Monster Name (series)". Archfiend's is an alternative, but that's so close to just Archfiend it would probably be confusing. --84.203.7.14 (talk) 20:46, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
