The standard common mathematical use of various types of multifactorials is well documented in the OEIS. But what also is well documented in the OEIS is that the notation for multifactorials can be very confusing and that the namings used are not standardized and are even more confusing. But at bottom things are of course very simple: What is needed is just a common basic definition from which all special cases are derived. How this could be done is outlined in an old post of mine on the OEIS-Wiki [1]. I can well imagine making this a general multifactorial function in SageMath.
