I think 'bare King' is fine to keep here, but I would remove the entry for 'bare King rule'. I think a list of terms should not include rules. Granted, there is a fine line. For example, I think en passant and castling should be here - but they should be described here in a general way.
The definition of castling presented here dictates rules for exactly how many squares the king should move and that is far too specific in my opinion. I would say something more like 'A move that was added to chess to speed up the game wherein the king and the rook both move in order to simultaneously move the king to safety and develop the rook. This is typically subject to several restrictions.' Then I think it would also be good to link to a page on castling (yet to be written) where more information can be given about the history of the move, the specifics in chess, how it has been adapted to other variants on larger boards, etc. We have a page called 'Castling in Chess 960' which seems too specific to have its own page. (And we typically refer to this game as Fischer Random in other places.) If this is agreed, I will start working on writing a Castling page.
