Talk:Secondary

Move request

I propose that this page be moved to "Alternate fighter," or "Secondary fighter" would work too. Please see my request on Talk:Main character#Move request and discuss there. Sincerely, Samuel the BANjO-KAZOOiE Boss. 12:59, December 7, 2020 (EST)

I tried to move it, but someone moved it back -_- SSBU Boi (talk) 09:47, December 12, 2020 (EST)

A move like this requires consensus, especially because this is a somewhat high-profile page. 2 votes =/= consensus. --CanvasK (talk) 09:49, December 12, 2020 (EST)

Also, regardless of whether there is consensus for the move or not in the end, pages should basically never be moved by copy/pasting the code as it disconnects the page from its history. Miles (talk) 11:16, December 12, 2020 (EST)

Can someone move this page back to its old name, as consensus hasn't been reached yet? Superbound (talk) 12:42, December 31, 2020 (EST)

I support this move as the current name can easily be confused with Alternate Costume and Secondary is a much more common term for this. Diddy Kongstar (talk) 01:15, January 20, 2021 (EST)

Support. I haven't seen "alternate character" used in at least a decade, "Secondary" is a standard term that has been used in the FGC and Smash Communities alike for many years. If you're concerned about things like tertiary or pocket characters, those can be gone over individually; this page needs some extensive spring-cleaning anyway. --Plague von Karma 16:42, March 25, 2021 (EDT)

I support this move XxP1NKxX (talk) 16:04, December 9, 2021 (EST)

Support, though i personally think that Mains, Secondaries, and Pockets should all be consolidated into one page since they all share a large overlap in idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PhantoFantasma (talk • contribs) 08:32, April 23, 2022 (EDT)

"Secondary" is appropriate, "secondary fighter" or "alternate fighter" is absolutely not, for the same reason I stated on Talk:Main character. Omega Tyrant 12:05, April 23, 2022 (EDT)
