Special Links
Because these terms are shared between lines (such as Exalted) or are terms that appear in more that one line (such as Malfean), the following must have abbreviations after them for them to link back to their articles properly.

Old World of Darkness (oWOD)

 * Oblivion (oWOD)
 * Shadowlands (oWOD)
 * Underworld (oWOD)

Orpheus (Orpheus)

 * Doppelganger (Orpheus)
 * Reaper (Orpheus)

Other Altered Links

 * Haunter (Shade) to differentiate from Haunter (Guild)
 * Malfean (WTO) is used as it is essentially the same thing in Wraith
 * Phantasm (Shade) to differentiate from Phantasm (Arcanos)
 * Relic (WTO) is used as it is essentially the same thing in Wraith.
 * Spectre (WTO) is used rather than Spectre (Orpheus) as many types are shared between the two.

Note, however, that some Spectre-types are shared between Wraith and Orpheus without changes (such as Nephwracks) and therefore are not differentiated. The same goes for any terms shared by the games that mean the exact same thing (such as Labyrinth).
