::While Brawl fixed the issue about Battlefield having that unique symbol by replacing it with the Smash symbol, it was redesigned so we needed a separate page, leaving the Melee version of the stage still using the symbol in question. And if we change Melee's Battlefield to use the Smash symbol the other Battlefields use, we'd might as well put the exclamation mark in [[Snake (SSBB)]]'s infobox and the modern Poké Ball symbol in [[Pikachu (SSB)]]'s page. Clearly we have a reason for preserving the old symbols for older games' pages. And since [[Takamaru]], [[Sukapon]], [[Sablé Prince]], [[Ray Mk III]], [[Saki Amamiya]], [[Isaac]], [[Starfy]], [[Chibi-Robo]], [[Barbara]], [[Dr. Kawashima]], [[Dillon]], [[Shovel Knight]], [[Spring Man]], [[Ribbon Girl]], [[Bomberman]], [[Akira]] and [[Cuphead]] can be seen with the ellipsis in your World of Light Spirit team, why shouldn't they use the ellipsis? The confusion over whether it looks like a menu extension button does not matter. Most users would be smarter than that. And if they browse more of the wiki, they'll understand it as a symbol. They'll get used to it. Mega Man's symbol looks kind of like an options button. And a loading ellipsis would have each dot flash or move so I don't think many people would see it as loading. And even so, it fits the idea of a franchise waiting for a symbol. Anyway, if we go for no symbol it seems like the tables would have to be centered for it to work. Left-aligned tables could get their arrangement messed up if a universe lacked a symbol. And blank symbols are entirely out of the question.

:Again Sean you're still trying to push usage of the ellipses, despite an administrator ending the discussion. We have a reason to not use the ellipses because of the reasons mentioned above. And even though Battlefield doesn't do the best job at representating the other series, the ellipses is worse.
