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)

::I'm trying to convert the prior templates to a more sleek feel -- organizing them by type takes up almost three times the space -- and am going on what were called event medals in the previous templates. If I've missed any temporary medals, please correct them. I've put in a request to have the collapsible class added, so we're waiting on Dciuch, but having just links to the categories looks...unaesthetic, and comes off as "bare minimum coding" to me. Having them all present in the navboxes, especially once those are finished being reformatted and are collapsible, will more closely replicate the album than the alphabetized categories would, and requires less clicking for the reader.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] ([[User talk:KrytenKoro|talk]]) 14:31, 8 June 2016 (PDT)
