We don't seem to have a Piececlopedia page for the Modern Elephant (Betza FA); this 'Elephant' page is solely about the Alfil. While nowadays the FA is in much wider use than the A, so much that 'Elephant' has become more or less synonymous for Modern Elephant, and when you mean 'Alfil' you better say 'Alfil' if you want to avoid confusion.

What should we do? Create a new page for Modern Elephant, and link to that from the Elephant page? Or add a paragraph about the Modern Elephant here?
