History
Note that exact times aren't being tracked here (and I'm too lazy to go back and check), so some stuff that happened on the same day may be presented out-of-order. Also note that some stuff may need summarized (better).

Make additions or corrections as necessary.

 * July 1, 2008 - Infobox/Archetype/List created, then renamed to Infobox/Archetype/Yu-Gi-Oh!.
 * July 23, 2007 - Category:Archetypes created and deleted minutes later (by the same editor), presumably because it duplicated Category:Archetype.
 * July 24, 2007 - Category:Archetypes redux by the same editor; time between creation and deletion this time is one minute.
 * September 25, 2008 - Infobox/Archetype/Start renamed to Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/Start, Infobox/Archetype/ExtendedName renamed to Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/ExtendedName, Infobox/Archetype/Yu-Gi-Oh! renamed to Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/Yu-Gi-Oh! and then to Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/List, Infobox/Archetype/End renamed to Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/End to prevent a potential conflict with a more general ACG template.
 * September 26, 2008 - Infobox/Archetype renamed to Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype to prevent a potential conflict with a more general ACG template.
 * October 25, 2008 - Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype/ExtendedSetDetails created.

 * October 22, 2009 - Forum:Article title casing/plurality.
 * October 22, 2009 - Category:Templates/Infobox/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Archetype created.
 * Archetype page names briefly mentioned in the last couple of comments, specifically pointing out that plural archetype page names don't make much sense.
 * December 28, 2010 - Forum:Singular archetype page names?.
 * Singularize archetype page names (e.g. "Archlords" → "Archlord").
 * Category:Archetype renamed to Category:Archetypes.
 * "(archetype)" used as a disambiguator/qualifier when there's a name conflict with something else (card, etc.).
 * January 11, 2011 - Category:Archetypes created per Forum:Singular archetype page names?.
 * January 12, 2011 - Forum:What constitutes an archetype?.
 * First (?) suggestion to distinguish between archetypes and series.
 * First (?) suggestion that archetypes should be determined by support.
 * Series were originally referred to, in the opening comment (though not directly), as unsupported archetypes.
 * First reply used "series" and then "group".
 * Third reply added "family" as a possible name (yes, you can really blame me for that =D ).
 * Fourth reply narrowed "group" suggestion to "card group", "as then we might need to group other things later on".
 * First suggestion of cases where an archetype and series can overlap and lead to potential conflicts for documentation.
 * Later comment suggests "theme" or "themed series" for series, and "group" for more general/arbitrary card groupings.
