Don't you mean "Why is that, eggxactly?" :~) Actually, you're right, this is a fairly recent change. Basically, it's because not all usable items have a use effect ([[briefcase]], for example), and we wanted to have a standard section title that would be applicable for all usable items. Jinya made the final choice on wording.

Please don't "standardize" the section header to Use Effects. The standard (Proposed_Standards#When_Used) is When Used. Thanks. --Gymnosophist 22:20, 28 Jul 2005 (Central Daylight Time)
Why is that, exactly? That wasn't in the Proposed Standards the last time I edited egg pages, so I based it on the ones for food and drinks, which respectively are "Eat Effects" and "Drink Effects". Wouldn't "Use Effects" be more consistent?
