 :::::In any case, I don't think we're addressing the larger point -- while the earlier draft of the navboxes may have actually called these medals "Event medals", this version does not -- the highlighting is just picking out Medals which are permanent versus those that are temporary. Can you help me understand why we would need to further differentiate these into Event vs. Limited Medals (or even Event vs. Common vs. Limited vs. Farmable Medals), and how we would communicate what each highlighting means to our readers? My own opinion is that this distinction would be better served on the individual medal articles.[[Special:Contributions/204.11.142.106|204.11.142.106]] 13:19, 8 June 2016 (PDT)
 Does all this even matter for the set template? Maybe we should have a permanent and temporary pool template instead. Event medals are only available during the events, premium medals are only in the draw pool for 1-2 weeks and some other medals like Jack Skellington are removed from the pool for different reasons. The release date date of any medal could be included in the infobox or on a set page and that's that. --[[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] ([[User talk:ShardofTruth|talk]]) 13:30, 8 June 2016 (PDT)
+As for in-game, it's typically found in the notices. I don't know Japanese but I have heard others claim terms like Limited/Premium come from the Japanese version when no such terms are present in NA. This is likely found in either the notices or names of the special drops for them. Otherwise, the Event medals are often distributed via missions in the "Event" tab on the game menu. Notices will call the methods to obtain them as "Events" in the notices as well; however the medals themselves aren't called anything more than medals. I do agree the distinction is better served in the individual medal pages, my main point is that if the creator/designer of the newer navbox were to change the coloring for Premium medals, it would have to be done so for ALL premium medals as Set 3 has Sephiroth with normal colors as does Set 4 with Pooh & Piglett and Cloud Illus ver. Set 8 has Boss Marluxia, Illus. Ventus, & Illus. Terra using normal medal colors. Yet, this issue has only come up in regards to Set 9's Illus. Kairi & Sephiroth.
+While on the subject, I feel different colors are strange altogether and aren't clear to all as a Limited vs Permanent thing unless you know the medals before hand and know that they are. Frankly, I thought gold stood solely for Event and this confusion is part of what lead to this discussion in the first place. Especially since the original question asked were which medals are event medals and Premium medals are not Event medals. I prefer the older style that lists them by type as opposed to all together in numerical order. Also, on the medal page, I find it a bit of an eye-sore to have all of the templates there at the bottom as it takes up over half the page with templates alone. Perhaps if they were collapsible it would be better, but as is, I find the table that directed to the categories for each set to be much more visually pleasing. [[Seiki]] 14:00, 8 June 2016 (PDT)
