| :I agree with both of these statements, but to my knowledge it's still the latest official word that ''Minecraft'' is "genderless" rather than "sexless", and the way he phrases it implies it lacks both sex and gender (animals have male and female aspects and any of one species can breed with any other). It's weird, considering he wrote in the blog post that he wishes he had used the singular "they" rather than "he" to describe Steve, but he for some reason holds totally opposing ideals now. It's also worth keeping in mind that Alex isn't referred to as female just as Steve isn't referred to as male (though I've noticed promo material uses "he" and "she" anyway, so maybe sexless ''would'' be more accurate?).

| Since the broadcast used "he" and "she" as predicted, I guess this topic comes back around again. Should we keep "genderless" on the page at all? I still think so, anyway, but it's a bit hard to explain what "genderless" or "sexless" means in a case where they're still referred to with gendered pronouns. ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 11:24, October 3, 2020 (EDT)

| While Steve and Alex definitely belong on the same page, I think the page should be renamed to "Steve & Alex" or "Steve/Alex". Unlike with Red and Leaf, who share a page under the same title, Steve and Alex are just referred to as their names in-game. Leaving Alex out of a page title feels a little unfair. Personally, I'm leaning towards to "Steve/Alex" option, because it is how they are referred to as on the official website. [[User:Xm0c|Xm0c]] ([[User talk:Xm0c|talk]]) 18:28, October 2, 2020 (EDT)

| :This I can also see the case for, as Steve and Alex are both given equal priority, but at the same time, it would make things a bit more clunky compared to "Steve" being simple and consistent, and it's likely that in-game text will default to just "Steve" as well. I could also make a case for changing the article name to merely "Player (Minecraft)", matching the ''Minecraft'' wiki, but that'd probably be even more confusing. ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 18:40, October 2, 2020 (EDT)

[[Kazooie]] is separate from [[Banjo]] and [[Luma]] is separate from [[Rosalina]]. But Nana and Popo were always combined as [[Ice Climbers]].

| '''Strongly oppose move'''. Steve is the default and the multi-name page titles are awful and clunky. It's one thing when we have no choice for special moves, but in this case, there is absolutely zero reason to overcomplicate this and make it look ugly in the process. They're one character. Steve is the default, Alex is the female version. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 17:03, October 3, 2020 (EDT)

| :Let's just split Alex into her own page. [[Zombie]] and [[Enderman]] have their own pages. [[Alph]] is separate from [[Captain Olimar]]. I think the split would be the best way to handle the name debate. Alternate gender counterparts should only share a general page with their default versions if they share the same Fighter name in the English version. If an alt has a different name, then they get their own pages. And if we can't get enough info on Alex to write her page, then I'm with Nutty on the opposed move.

In fact, I can see us changing Joker's character page to "Protagonist (Persona 5)" to be more in-line with the other protagonist and the Persona Wiki. Their Fighter pages would stay Steve and Joker while their character pages would be "Player (Minecraft)" and "Protagonist (Persona 5)". We could also have each Dragon Quest Hero separated by "Hero (Dragon Quest #)". As for Popo & Nana, unlike Banjo & Kazooie, I can't see them being separated in their character page unless they were to get more individual development in a future Ice Climbers game.

| This isn't a very big deal but anyway, should the image of Steve used here be of his former skin only used in promotional artwork and Smash model, or his current beardless skin used as of Java Edition Classic which replaced it only a few months afterward in 2009? Personally I'm leaning towards his current skin as it's a better representation of the character from Minecraft itself, but I could also understand wanting to showcase the origins of the skin used in Smash.

| :<s>This isn't something up for debate. We ALWAYS use imagery shown in Smash only, including promotional material. We'll use the skin you suggested if, and only if, it changes to that in the game.</s> [[User:Black Vulpine|<span style="color: black;">'''Black Vulpine'''</span>]] of the [[User talk:Black Vulpine|🦊'''Furry Nation'''🐺]].

| :Okay, disregard my last message. What I said is true for the fighter pages, but I overlooked the fact that your enquiry is about the character themself. And the answer is, probably yes. If you can find an image, feel free to upload it and add it. [[User:Black Vulpine|<span style="color: black;">'''Black Vulpine'''</span>]] of the [[User talk:Black Vulpine|🦊'''Furry Nation'''🐺]].

| ::The intention of the profile art on the character page is to show the origin of the design used in Smash. If we use Sheik's Twilight Princess concept art, we should use Steve's promotion-exclusive bearded form. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 15:26, October 3, 2020 (EDT)

| It's not that big of a deal but I feel like it'd be acceptable to use Steve and Alex's skins from 1.19.4's new skins, which look nicer and still depict the same design. Even though it's not the same skin used in Smash, it could be seen as the same character in a new art style (that being the new art style of the texture update instead of Programmer Art), which other characters do have as not all characters use 3D renders from Smash Bros. for their image. Steve's new texture also keeps their beard, so it would also be the same design used in the game. This render could also be taken from the Minecraft wiki like the one currently used. | :3 - [[User:Banjoei|Banjoei]] ([[User talk:Banjoei|talk]]) 23:32, September 17, 2023 (EDT)

| :The texture change was after Steve was in Smash so it will probably only be changed if the texture changes in Smash 6. It has some differences despite sharing the beard [[File:ThegameandwatchIcon2.png|20px]] [[User:Thegameandwatch|<span style=" color: Green;">'''Thegameandwatch'''</span>]] [[File:Thegameandwatch signature icon.png|20px]] [[User talk:Thegameandwatch|''<span style="color: blue;">The Nerd </span>'']] 00:04, September 18, 2023 (EDT)
