#My only gripe with this proposal is the 25% limit; it doesn't really work for trivia. The massive size fluctuation means the limit can get ridiculously biased in favor of large categories. For instance, 25% of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s 86 fighters is a hefty ~21, while 25% of ''Smash 64''{{'}}s 12 fighters is a mere 3. These numbers are way off the usual range for overabundant trivia, and would either hinder the addition of legitimate trivia or, ironically, give even more leeway to overabundant trivia. It gets even worse when applying this to larger categories like trophies, stickers, or spirits, where the limit skyrockets into the hundreds. | #My only gripe with this proposal is the 25% limit; it doesn't really work for trivia.

::I believe using a set number as the limit would work much better than a percentage. It wouldn't be a perfect compromise, but it would greatly mitigate the problems introduced by a percentage. If the proposal goes unchanged, I'll likely remain neutral on this.
