 :: No game (can't check IV yet) ever called these types of missions "side missions." The PC controls defined the key for the PS2's R3 missions as '''Sub-mission'''. "Odd job" is used a few times in some of the games. I'm not sure what the official game guides says about this.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|spaceeinstein]]''' 07:20, 18 September 2011 (BST)
-:True, and happy to continue to discuss this. At the moment, we use "Side Missions" throughout this wiki a lot more than "Odd Jobs" or "Sub Missions". We need a term that accurately encompasses everything on this page - not just parts of it. This page will cover ALL non-storyline missions/tasks/quests (''maybe'' excluding individual games/races). I believe "Sub-mission" refers only to R3 vehicle missions (vigilante, taxi, paramedic etc), which doesn't include races and other side-missions. Not 100% sure about Odd Jobs but that doesn't seem to be a good name for things like [[Stadium Events]] and races. If we can't find an ''official'' term that encompasses all of these things, then I'd suggest Side Missions to be the best thing to use. I doubt "Characters", "Vehicles" and "Modifications" are official designations found from in-game language files, but they're sensible/obvious terms to use.

-:If you think it's worth splitting these - so that races/sports/challenges are completely separate to jobs/missions/tasks, then that's doable. But we need to find a clear, obvious, real distinction between them, not an arbitrary line that visitors could misunderstand. Just like we separate storyline [[Missions]] and [[Collectibles]] from Side Missions - the divide is obvious. So far, I personally think it's safer to pack them all together under [[Side Missions]], and within that we can specify what ''type'' of Side Mission it is (race, vehicle mission etc).
