Actually, it's because it's on the character pages, the most like places for people to land on from the search engine, that I feel this issue should be clarified. It's good that 'Arachne' was given top billing in the section. Unfortunately since the wiki rules state that there should be no speculation, some poor soul who doesn't know any better and has no common sense might be inclined to believe that ALL of the information provided is something other than speculation.

Following up the most logically consistent explanation with an additional possible explanation that has nothing so much as a hint from any official source, makes it seem as though both explanations are considered equally plausible by the BlazBlue wiki editors. If this isn't the case, and 'Arachne vs. Ara (Turkish) Kune (Serbian) = Intermediary Curse' not considered equally plausible, then it needs to be clarified. If anything, coincidental language association would be better off in a Trivia section, where it won't be implied that it has anything to actually do with how the developers chose the character's name.

For example: Arakune is nearly an anagram of Naraka Une, which is Japanese for "Rib from the Buddhist Hell". Arakune has bones inside, several of which resemble ribs, and Naraka is the Hindu/Buddhist version of Hell, and the Boundary has many qualities in common with the concept of Hell. This is a logically sound but completely implausible argument

Besides fan speculation, are any of the other wiki rules flexible, and if so, how flexible are they?
