The Boruto manga is confirmed, and the story is set to continue. Do you think we should change the Epilogue tab to Part III for cleanliness?

I smell a "Canon VS non-Canon" war incoming (facepalm)
Please remember that Part I and Part II are official "titles" (or whatever). It's not like we made them up.
In the template, we can just call it Part 3 for simplicity and on the actual page call it "BORUTO" (all caps). No need to keep it 'Epilogue' anymore.

But certain character appearances also made their debut in the Naruto epilogue, not Boruto.
I don't think it should be called Boruto because the same time period also includes media that falls under the Naruto series header. Obviously it should also not be called Epilogue anymore.
I've got two suggestions: New Era (新時代, Shinjidai) and Next Generation (次世代, Jisedai).
New Era was used in the Naruto New Era Introduction Project, which included Naruto Gaiden and Boruto: Naruto the Movie, as well as the various media set during the Blank Period, all of which was meant to usher in this "New Era" of the *Naruto* franchise. Next Generation is being used in the early promotional materials for the new Boruto series, and is a keyword in the metadata for the Next Generation teaser site.
Both are terms used in official promotional materials, so I think they should hold more weight than anything we could come up with on our own. Of course, it's possible that they'll use some other term as the series moves forward; only time will tell.
For the infoboxes do we call it Part III but that would intertwine with Naruto chapter 700, Gaiden, etc. But the thing is chapter 700 and gaiden (Naruto series) are very much connected to the Boruto series so I guess it would come down to whether or not to accept this and let it all fall under the "Boruto" section or come up with a new header for it to correspond with chapter 700 and gaiden. We could call it "Interlude II" like how we had set up for the new chūnin exams arc that went between Part I and Part II except here we have it between Part II and "Boruto".
Minor update on the subject. Narutimate Storm 4 uses Shinjidai (New Era), translated as "The New Age" in the English version, as the title for the final cutscene of the game, which introduces Boruto and Sarada. So, I suppose that's another + in the "New Era" column.
+1 Vote for "New Era"
I cast my vote in favor of "New Era" as well given it's called the "New Era Project"
So we have:
Part I- Start of Series to Sasuke Retrieval arc end
Interlude- Naruto's training under Jiraiya
Part II- Naruto's return to Konoha to Kaguya's Defeat
Blank Period- Kakashi Hiden to Chapter 700
Epilogue- Chapter 700 to Boruto film
New Era- Start of Boruto series
