Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Forum:Include voice actors on specific games' character articles' infoboxes

Forums: Index Proposals Include voice actors on specific games' character articles' infoboxes
A checkmark symbol, for places like yes/no columns on tables. This is a closed discussion about an accepted proposed change on SmashWiki. It remains for archival purposes.

Strange title, I know, but I couldn't really come up with a better one. Anyways, an issue I noticed with specific game articles for characters is that they lack voice actors. I had never noticed they were missing. Voice actors are only mentioned through the respective character's general article. (Ex: Ganondorf instead of Ganondorf (SSBM)) I searched around and I haven't found any discussion pertaining to this issue, so I figured I might bring it up here. Currently, on specific games' character articles, voice actors are only ever mentioned in trivia points regarding the voice actor itself, which are extremely uncommon. A problem that could potentially be brought up is that infoboxes would become too large, however, that doesn't really apply here. There is a ton of space available below these infoboxes that adding voice actors wouldn't really present a size issue.

tl;dr: Character article infoboxes are missing voice actors. We should add them. Pokebub (talk) 04:12, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Support Never really understood why they haven't had them. VoqéoT 05:16, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
Support Where the information is known I see no reason not to add it. That said, do different regions/languages have different voice actors? – Emmett 06:51, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
Some do. Mostly characters that have dialogue, like Sonic in Smash 4. VoqéoT 07:14, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
Absolutely! How is it nobody thought of this before? Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 07:28, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
Support I'm surprised it wasn't there to begin with. — NokiiSigH.png Nokii (T·C·L) 09:39, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Eh, weak support. It wouldn’t hurt anything, but I see no reason it needs to be. 72.133.91.93 08:02, 16 October 2018 (EDT) Blueflame105

Support as long as it's contained to only the Smash series Some characters have many VAs outside of smash, and I don't want the list to be over long and pointless like that. Serpent SKSig.png King 09:45, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Of course. Outside voice actors would be outside the scope of the wiki and wouldn't make sense to include on specific game articles anyways. Pokebub (talk) 12:09, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Let's go for it! I support this one and I love character articles with voice actors like Master Hand (Xander Mobus), Sonic (Roger Craig Smith), and Bowser Jr. (Caety Sagoian). Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 10:39, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Support Have it be a subsection underneath the art. Aidan, the Spooky Rurouni 11:58, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
Support. This is such an ubiquitous thing that it's honestly surprising that it hasn't been implemented yet... DryKirby64 (talk) 16:18, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Support Don't see why not. Awesomelink234, the Super Spooky Sonic Fan Leave a message if needed 21:46, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Adding a quick note that I implicitly meant that with the same caveat as Serpent King as well. Sniffnoy (talk) 02:58, 26 October 2018 (EDT)
