A glaive is a European [[polearm]] weapon, consisting of a single-edged blade on the end of a pole. It is similar to the Japanese [[naginata]] and the Chinese [[guan dao]]. The term "glaive" has also been repurposed in certain (primarily Western) fantasy series to describe an oversized throwing weapon resembling a [[shuriken]], [[chakram]] or [[throwing_knife]]. [b]Do not[/b] tag these examples as glaive; use the appropriate tags instead. h4. Notable characters * [[Tatsuta_(kancolle)|]] ([[Kantai Collection]]) * [[Hellion (darkest_dungeon)|]] ([[Darkest Dungeon]]) * [[Sailor Saturn]] ([[Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon]]) ** Her Silence Glaive is technically a glaive[i]-fork[/i], but we currently don't distinguish. [tn]And we probably shouldn't.[/tn] h4. Tag usage notes * Tag glaive when you see the polearm weapon described above. * Avoid tagging glaive when the weapon can be more appropriately described with another polearm tag. ** e.g. [[naginata]], [[nagimaki]], [[guan_dao]], [[scythe]], [[halberd]] * [b]Do not[/b] tag throwing weapons with glaive. ** Even if they are called "glaive" in the series. Use the appropriate throwing weapon tag instead. ** Unless some crazy person decides to use actual polearm glaives as 'throwing weapons'. h4.
