Spirit Battle tables in their current state are a little... messy. If a user feels that it is necessary to make an edit to a battle entry, they will need to hunt down every usage of that battle entry. Here's a hypothetical: I want to make an edit to the 'Hungry Luma' spirit battle (wrong type, song, whatever). Easy, I go to the list of [[List_of_spirits_(Super_Mario_series)|Super Mario spirits]] and change it. Done? Nope. Now I go to [[Rosalina & Luma (SSBU)|Rosalina]]'s page, edit, go to [[Kirby (SSBU)|Kirby]]'s page, edit, and now I'm hopefully done. A recent headache came from [[Cuphead]]'s spirit battle where it changes if you have DLC, now the edit needs to be made on [[Ready%3F_Wallop!]], [[Peach_(SSBU)]], [[Mega_Man_(SSBU)]], [[Mii_Gunner_(SSBU)]], and [[List_of_spirits_(Others)]]. This will only grow as we have about two more years of content coming. | Spirit Battle tables in their current state are a little... messy.

I think we should move the battles into a large template so that we can make an edit in one place, and if we want to add a battle to a table we just say "give me the entry for spirit number x". I'm not too familiar with how templates work, however I imagine it will be similar to [[Template:SSB4_to_SSBU_changelist]] where it is a switch condition. Inspirations can be omitted from the template and added as a cell on the table. | I think we should move the battles into a large template so that we can make an edit in one place, and if we want to add a battle to a table we just say "give me the entry for spirit number x".

Along with making edits easier it should allow for adding hidden data easy--such as hidden conditions, stats, and modifiers--if we get our hands on them. A similar thing could also be done for Fighter Battles, where if we decide one format is better we can change it in one place instead of 80+ pages. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User_talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 18:20, February 18, 2020 (EST) | Along with making edits easier it should allow for adding hidden data easy--such as hidden conditions, stats, and modifiers--if we get our hands on them.

* '''Support.''' Spirit Battles are gonna keep happening and the more they do, the more pages that have to be made. It's gonna definitely bloat the wiki. I do not believe a list of [[Conquest]] battles were ever made though, so is it even necessary? If we do keep these as a list, I feel going through Conquest results and uploading them to a list would be necessary. --[[File:King K.
