I know I've expressed this before, but I really am firmly against putting nen types re: techniques on pages in general, excluding canonical explanations/reveals (for instance, Gon's Jajanken and its enhancement/transmuation/emission iterations is fine because that's textual). That's why, even with the discussion of an "inferred" disclaimer, I just think this stuff is too easily going to be taken as "oh I guess it's canon then" by casual wiki readers.

I say that because I see it happen all the time, and I've seen people debating and forming theories based on shit on these pages that is mere speculation. Hell, before I realized how much "inferred" stuff was on this particular wiki, I honestly assumed "I guess this stuff was revealed in guidebooks or something" re: nen types being assigned to techniques that I didn't remember the manga labelling. An "inferred" label is good in theory, but your wiki layman doesn't know the shorthand and if they don't follow through on figuring that out they're gonna take it as canon. I honestly believe it's important to somewhat idiot-proof wiki pages, since people are coming to them for basic information. That's another matter entirely, though.

So... unless it's textually saying "this technique may or may not involve transmutation" (as opposed to what seems to be the general practice of "straight-up listing non-canonical nen types assumed to be used in a technique"), I'd say... no? But you saying "suggest the possibility" says to me "we're not going to just outright list it," in which case yeah I think that's reasonable.
