While ArFA-sys is used on the official site, Afasys is the version I saw of in-game footage from the dev streams (and I highly doubt it was changed for the released version, since the streams were so close to release date, but I don't really have a way to check). In case of conflict on naming from official sources, the in-game version is considered to be the more likely one to be accurate (e.g., early material for Philia wrote her name as "Filia", but the in-game version used "Philia" and that's the version used ever since), unless a more reliable source says otherwise.

Name referencing is not done on articles on this wiki. We have a separate guideline page (Official Naming) where we have a list off names used on the wiki, as well as sources for the spelling of their names, if such exist.

Our naming policy usually only applies to naming of characters (since characters have official spellings for their names in-game, i.e. the game servers have a specific spelling recorded and this spelling is used on menus, monuments, and so on, thus we set stricter policy on in-game names). We don't really have a policy on abbreviations, so I'm not sure how to handle SA:O vs Origin, especially since I don't play the games myself. We'd probably have to discuss the matter with other editors.

On that note, I would like to notify you that this Wiki has a Discord server (https://discord.gg/PRUcDpM), where we make most of our discussions on the wiki (and talk about mostly anything else really). I would highly recommend joining us there if you want to really feel like a part of the community. Also, there are some people there who are thinking on working on Fatal Bullet content, such as making a page for Afasys/ArFA-sys, so it may be beneficial to coordinate your efforts with them (I don't think they look at the forums on the wiki itself that often).
