Discussion on the forums has deemed \\\"Magical Girl\\\" over \\\"Puella Magi\\\" to be preferred, since . Please see the forum for the relevant discussions.
The argument that ended up on the Puella Magi Wiki as a result of this forum discussion:
\\\"Puella Magi\\\" is not intended to be magical girl; however, \\\"Puella Magi Madoka Magica\\\" does indeed mean \\\"Magical Girl Madoka of the [male] Mage\\\" (\\\"magica\\\" being the correct adjective for \\\"magical\\\"). Being a Latin student, I believe the entire title was supposed to be taken together, \\\"magica\\\" connected to \\\"puella magi\\\", so I really don\\\'t think \\\"puella magi\\\" should be cut off from the rest of the title like that. Do what you will with the thought, since I know how much hell it is to change an entire wiki to one term or the other, and at this point I believe it\\\'s too late to make any changes. But seeing as we\\\'ve never seen any \\\"Puella Magi\\\" term without the \\\"Magica\\\" whenever it\\\'s used officially, I think one should reconsider the merits of that title. (Unless you want to call it \\\"Puella Magi ________ Magica\\\" every time, and that\\\'s just ridiculous.)\\\"
