OK all you editors, record how many character pages you have spiffed up here. I have finished Squirtle's attributes and plan to do the Trainers.--[[User:Oxico|Oxico]] ([[User talk:Oxico|talk]]) 16:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Sheik, Pikachu, and Diddy Kong are done! [[User:JtM|JtM =^&#93;]] ([[User talk:JtM|talk]]) 16:57, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Before you all get excited, there's more to do than just making the attributes section prose.  We also need to standardize the format and order between every page.  Take a look at [[Meta Knight (SSBB)]] and [[Falco (SSBB)]] to see what I'm talking about.  Specifically, the flowing sections should be deleted when making putting the page in the new format:  '''Special Movements, Strategies and Tips, Sticker Strategies.'''

== Details ==

You can find "live" updates on your Character templates in mainspace on [[User:M.mendel/Attributes|M.mendel/Attributes]]. The following info is as of this writing and does '''not''' update itself automatically:

The following character pages don't use the Infobox Character template: 
* [[Crazy Hand]], [[Dark Link]], [[Giant DK]], [[Giant Kirby]], [[Giga Bowser]], [[Master Hand]], [[Metal Luigi]], [[Metal Mario]], [[NONE]], [[Princess Daisy]], [[Sandbag]]

I'm not sure how to handle the [[Fighting Alloy Team]], [[Fighting Polygon Team]] and [[Fighting Wire Frames]], [[Pikmin (species)]]. Do you want pages for each character on each team?

The following pages should not be in [[:Category:Characters]] because they aren't Characters, but about characters. They could be linked in the [[:Category:Characters]] article, though:
* [[Boss]], [[Character]], [[List of characters]], [[Starter character]], [[Unlockable character]]

== Special Movements ==

I've been watching this project as it was implemented and mostly like what I see.  What I don't understand is the elimination of the "Special Movements" sections without moving data to other places.  The only pieces of these sections to survive were the taunts.  Why remove victory poses, Wii Remote sounds, etc.?  I'm hoping someone can give me an answer.

maybe cuz theyre not useful? [[User:JtM|JtM =^&#93;]] ([[User talk:JtM|talk]]) 18:42, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
:I disagree... I think these are useful pieces of data.  Right now, I'm not sure they exist anywhere else on the wiki. I'm not saying we should resurrect that whole section on every character's page, but this info should show up somewhere, even if it's a page per category like [[On-Screen Appearances]].

::look dude, i didn't decide on this, the sysops did [[User:JtM|JtM =^&#93;]] ([[User talk:JtM|talk]]) 18:57, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
We're in Phase one of the plan.  Phase two will involve making sure each of those things get a page somewhere, just not on the fighter pages.

-::If you put these in the template call, even if the template does not display them, you can then extract them automatically (much like I do on my page). The presentation doesn't have to be tabular, either. --[[User:M.mendel|◄mendel►]] ([[User talk:M.mendel|talk]]) 22:14, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
