Celeste Wiki:Consensus names

This page lists the names of some things that are agreed upon by the community, as well as the rationale for using them. If you see an improper term on a page, please correct it. Consensus can change and is subject to exceptions, so do not take these names as the only acceptable terms.

Entities

Entities (not Mechanics or Objects) should be used for things, vanilla or modded, that impact gameplay, according to Entities. This name was established on April 4, 2024, following a vote on the Celeste Wiki Discord server. Furthermore, this term is used in Entity and Trigger Documentation as well as Lönn. Mechanics may be used for the respective section in Tech or the gameplay broadly (The game comprises 9 gameplay chapters with different mechanics and challenges.).

Additionally, the entities' names in articles should be the same as the main entity name listed on Entities.

Tech

Tech (not Techniques) should be used for moves that Madeline can make, according to Tech. This name was established because of its predominant use on Celestecord and in the Celeste community. Instead, Techniques can be used in contexts outside of Madeline's movement, for example: the feather technique to calm down or Rolling, performed by rolling the controller, is a technique that allows you to press the d-pad faster than hypertapping..

Collectables

Collectables (not Collectibles) should be used for things that can be collected and are saved between playthroughs, like strawberries and cassette tapes. This name was accepted because it is used in Celeste's graphics dump.
