| == Series symbol in template ==
| |
|
| |
| People seem to be debating whether the general character pages should have the subject's series symbol floating to the top left of the article text. Should we put it in the template (below the caption) instead?

| == Reduction of unnecessary fluff ==
| |
|
| |
| I propose the following:
| |
| #Remove the "hair" and "eyes" lines. It should be immediately apparent from the images provided on the page.
| |
| #Remove the "homeworld" line. In most cases it provides little relevant information, and in several terminology has to be outright invented.
| |
| #Compression of the "creator" and "artist" lines.
| |
| #Compression of the voice actor lines into one line that lists who voices them in Smash. We don't need to list every person who has ever provided that character's voice in their home series.
| |
| #Not using this template on Assist Trophy character pages, and instead implementing a simpler infobox specifically for Assist Trophies who don't need this much detail. (Additionally, AT pages should use their Smash artwork in their infoboxes, not original-series artwork like playable characters).
| |

| |
| :'''Oppose Some of It'''
| |
| #"Hair" and "eyes" is admittedly fluff-ish, but it really isn't too irrelevant to place on this template, in my opinion.
| |
| #"Homeworld" is a rather important section, in my opinion. The only terminology we ever really had to invent was for Villager and Rosalina (and even then, claiming to have "invented" these names is kinda pushing it.)
| |
| #"Creator" and "artist" should be compressed.
| |
| #"I agree with your voice actor proposal.
| |
| #We already use {{t|AssistTrophy}} for Assist Trophies. It is much simpler, and it has a pretty good amount of info in it, without looking overwhelming. Also, I think that series-artwork looks better than Smash artwork for them. I don't really see why we would want to have just the Smash-artwork. <span style="font-family:AR JULIAN; font-size:12pt">[[User:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Chuck</span>]][[User talk:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Norris</span>]]</span>[[File:24.png|23px]] 12:09, 17 May 2014 (EDT)

| Sometimes people debate about the hair and eyes. [[Rosalina]] is an example of when we debated about whether she has blue eyes or green eyes. C'mon, they're obviously blue. They are only slightly lighter than Mario's and they are no where near Sonic's. And I don't like that "opal" compromise because no one knows the color opal. It's just some variation of blue which is a natural eye color. When I see a character that has eyes close enough to natural eye colors, I'd rather have the simple color instead of some advanced variation. We'd might as well consider Peach's hair to be yellow instead of blonde. Nintendo meant Rosalina to be the color of the sky (blue). If we can't figure out whether something is blue or green, might as well leave it out of the template. Homeworld is pretty much debatable too. A lot of characters are from Earth. Sonic's homeworld of Mobius is only canon to the comics and cartoons. His games take place on Earth. Homeworld should probably be merged with universe. I've already removed some non-Smash voice actors so that should be justified. We do have an infobox for assist trophies. I think what really needs an infobox are the cameos big enough to have pages. [[Slippy Toad]] shouldn't use a general infobox as he's never playable and Otacon isn't an assist trophy. I also think maybe universes that don't have a symbol in the games but had a symbol created for interwiki purposes such as {{uv|Golden Sun}} should use those symbols and we can create more unofficial symbols to universes that don't have them, like Tomachi. However, the unofficial symbols should probably be only created after Smash 4 comes out since you never know if they would add symbols.

| Bringing this back up.
| |
| #Remove hair, eyes, and artist. Hair and eyes are really flufflish, and is artist really necessary when we have creator?
| |
| #Either remove console of origin or merge it with first appearance. You can click on the game title for a reason, and it would tell you the game's console.
| |
| #Compress voice actors to only the Smash actors. Allowing more is begging for unnecessary bloating.
| |
| We should preferably settle this before Smash 4 comes out and the huge wave of new characters arrives.

| What's the verdict? I agree with Miles; we don't need to describe hair and eye colors, and voice actors should only be from the ''Smash Bros.'' games (though I think that's already the case). <font face="X-Files">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 21:21, 19 July 2014 (EDT)

| I left artist because only one person was against it, and I feel it's necessary information for knowing part of what influenced character artwork in the ''Smash Bros.'' games. <font face="X-Files">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 18:06, 25 July 2014 (EDT)

| == ''Smash Bros.'' appearances ==
| |
|
| |
| Why on earth is "''Smash Bros.'' appearances" being done using a switch in this template based on the character's name? This is something that should be done using a separate parameter. It actually doesn't currently include Duck Hunt anyway. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 02:30, 13 November 2014 (EST)

| == Most recent game idea ==
| |
|
| |
| How about we move this to a sub-template like the universe row? That way when a new Mario game comes out we only have to edit one page instead of ten, etc. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Altruistic 17:55, 17 September 2015 (EDT)

| == "Homeworld" ==
| |
|
| |
| The way the Homeworld section is used on various character pages is terribly inconsistent. Kirby's is Dream Land, which is just a section of his home planet. Mario's is Mushroom Kingdom, which is a country. Olimar's is Hocotate, which is actually a planet. Bayonetta's is Vigrid, which is a fake city in Europe. I feel like we really need to redefine what "Homeworld" is supposed to be.

| == Fighter Numbers ==
| |
|
| |
| This sort of goes along with [[Talk:List of Super Smash_Bros. series characters#Fighter Numbers|my other talking point on the Characters page]].
| |
|
| |
| I think, since SSBU's putting every fighter into a unified order using its numbering system, we should list these numbers in the character information.
| |
|
| |
| We already list information that's less pertinent to Smash than this, like species, gender, and place of origin; so I see no reason why a fighter's official number couldn't be another field on this list.

| For example, instead of Female Corrin/Robin being where they currently are, an (Template:Image2, which has since been deleted, was used here.) slot is placed there specifically for certain alternate costumes, such as the ones I just mentioned.
