:::::Hey, what about that music note? That seems like a good placeholder because in Brawl's music test, that was what's spinning in the place of the series symbol for other songs. And the [https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/sound/index.html official site's music index] had that note as the series symbol for two songs: Galaga Medley and Noisy Notebook. That music symbol has actually been used for minor series, unlike our eight-slice symbol that was used for one stage that should have used the Smash symbol.

::Yeah, the ellipses was even seen on primary spirits in World of Light. I think we have a symbol that should be used now that is a much better placeholder than Battlefield's symbol. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 01:05, 14 January 2019 (EST)

:::Well, if you want to make that argument, then neither did the Other symbol. We just always kind of used it to indicate that there was no symbol for something (i.e., an Assist Trophy from a non-major universe). That said, I have to agree with Toomai; there's no real reason to universally use it in the games that didn't use it.

:::Wait, where does it do that?  I haven't seen it in Spirits; I've seen it in music only.  That said, I do on the whole agree with you that we should use it rather than Special Stages.  I don't agree with the argument that it doesn't make sense to use it for previous games because the symbol only exists in Ultimate, because we have to consider the alternative that we're comparing it to, which is the Special Stages symbol from Melee.  The "only exists in one game" argument could be applied just as well to that.  And, on the whole, between the two, Other makes more sense.

:::::Even if you argue that only Melee used the shattered disc and that only Ultimate used the three dots, you have to consider the fact that the shattered disc was used for a Smash original stage where the Smash Ball symbol would have been more appropriate, and the three dots in Ultimate were actually used for minor universe stuff. I believe the three dots should replace the Special Stages symbol so that Melee's Battlefield doesn't get mixed in with the minor universes. Battlefield was never an "Other" property.

== Should the special stages symbol’s section have an explanation of it being our non-Ultimate “other” symbol? ==
Newer users will be confused as to why the special stages symbol is going to be used instead of the ellipsis, as shown from the giant debate over which one to use. So, should there at least be an explanation as to why the “improper” symbol is used on everything except the disimbaguation page (which really should have the same symbol as the pages on that disambiguation, but oh well.)

::If that’s the case, is it fine if I add a “commented out” (whatever the note that tells users not to add something in is called) footbote on ONLY the following pages (which do not have any spirits or are present in another related spirit at all in Ultimate): [[Gil]], [[Lloyd Irving]], [[Heihachi]], [[Proximity Mine]], [[Cloaking Device]], [[Bacura]], [[Sneaky Spirit]], [[Jacky]], [[Pooka]], and [[Monster Hunter]], stating that the symbol is for characters and items that do not have Spirits, and that the symbol should stay the same on only those pages?

::::This is never going to end is it? There is no problem using the ellipsis, more people in the debate wanted the ellipsis, and it's been used in-game for a lot of minor universes. I think the consensus should be re-evaluated. If the discussion won't end after you closed it, maybe something's not working.

:::::With all due respect, this was never a problem until you made it a problem. The same two or three users trying to drag this subject over multiple pages does not look good on you (plural you). I strongly suggest you (plural you) drop the subject for a good length of time.

::::::I'm confused.  Was this settled anywhere?  I just saw a brief discussion on this page with no consensus reached and nobody bothering to do anything aftewards.  In any case... surely getting things right matters more than people being annoying about it?  Like, I have no idea whether I'm included in the "you" you mention above or not (having made the pro-ellipsis argument here on this page, but not, as I recall, elsewhere), and it's just, like, man, what a way to shut down argument, right?  Like, well, gee, now I guess nobody can argue for this because a few of its proponents were annoying?  But that has nothing to do with whether the idea is correct or not!  You say "this was never a problem until you made it a problem", but we have to clarify what's meant by "problem" here.  It was never a point of contention until someone made it a point of contention, sure.  But from the point of view of being as correct as possible, it was as soon as the ellipsis symbol came into existence and we weren't using it!  (At least, if you agree that the ellipsis symbol would be better, which you don't, I guess, but you get what I mean.)  The point is, a problem is the wiki not being as good as possible -- not people getting into arguments about it!  What else is a discussion page for, after all?  I mean, I'll certainly agree that trying to put this sort of thing in the wiki itself, or dragging it across multiple pages (I'll take your word that this happened), is not good behavior, but, rather than banning the subject, surely it would make more sense to just confine it to one central discussion location (such as here) where it would make sense?  And then everyone who doesn't want to argue about this can just stay away.

:::::::::It should be safe to restart that discussion in a month or two, due to the amount of new users that will come here. However, currently, anybody who adds to that page will be banned for disruption. I made the point that if the disimbaguation pages for spirits use the ellipsis, then so should the Assist Trophies who have Spirits as well (especially since the ellipsis is only used for Ultimate-related contexts, which Assist Trophies with Spirits fully are), but that was instantly shot down, so just roll with the “consensus” for now.

== New Stage Builder symbol ==
[https://miketendo64.com/2019/04/21/guide-how-to-download-stages-in-super-smash-bros-ultimate/ Look at he image]. I’m pretty sure this counts as a series symbol, similarly to the special stages symbol and Smash 4’s stage builder symbol, correct?

== Dragon Quest Symbol ==
People have been adding the Slime symbol, or "The Mark of Erdrick", to all the ''Dragon Quest'' pages. However, the series symbol for The Hero, and therefor ''Dragon Quest'' as a whole, uses a [https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/fighter/72.html completely different symbol]. (Its probably a symbol that represents the main ''Dragon Quest'' hero's game rather than his series as a whole, like with Joker's) Is the Slime symbol only being used as a placeholder? [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 14:27, June 11, 2019 (EDT)
:It shouldn't be used in the first place. That symbol was a placeholder for the Dragon Quest NIWA Wiki.

== Undertale icon ==
I realized something when I someone pointed it out on Twitter: this official video preview for the Megalovania remix in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' has it's own icon, in the form of a heart, which represents the player's SOUL in the game ''Undertale''. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFDKcuLxxZg You can see the video here (it's unlisted).]  Has this icon been spotted in-game? Should we include this in the article otherwise? - [[User:BrawlMatt202|BrawlMatt202]] ([[User talk:BrawlMatt202|talk]]) 22:17, September 6, 2019 (EDT)
:We've chosen not to put it in since it's not actually in the game, and even if it was, Undertale doesn't have much representation and including the symbol wouldn't be justifiable (since symbols are usually given to major universes). We chose to do something similar with the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APSRqnT8hvo Snipperclips remix], which similarly features a music note as its symbol; while said symbol is actually in the game, it isn't used to represent any universes.

[https://i.imgur.com/4T5GluM_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium This symbol]. If the World of Light and Assist trophy icons count as series symbols, so should this.

== Using the minor universe symbols in tables ==
So there is a bit of a conflict going on if tables should include the minor universes symbols. [[Mii Costume]], [[Alternate costume (SSB4)/Mii Fighter]], and [[Alternate costume (SSBU)/Mii Fighter]] omit them but some pages like [[Downloadable content (SSBU)]] use them. Please discuss here instead of edit warring.

:I don't want to cause drama again, I just want them to be consistent, and I just personally feel that it looks better without them in tables. Infoboxes, the minor universe symbol should stay.
