:::I don't think we should need templates for two separate ranks of nerfs or buffs. That will be a waste of space, which is bad programming sense. Instead, if we are to do major/minor, we should have a conditional statement that checks if a variable is set to a certain value, similar to what the ArticleIcons template has. If it's not given the value in question, then there would be the alternative indicating a minor buff/nerf. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 15:14, 19 July 2014 (EDT)

:::I don't support this proposal. Whether or not a buff and/or nerf is considered "major" or "minor" strikes me as being too subjective to accurately judge. And I also see it as merely complicating the picture, both on the editorship end and the readership end.

:::This would seemingly cause a lot of unnecessary debates about whether certain nerfs should be considered "major" or not. Also, unrelated, but it isn't that simple to compare Melee/Brawl characters to their PM incarnations; there are many characters who are lower on CT's tier list not because they're worse as a character, but because they're worse in relation to the other characters.

The intent of these templates was to move away from having "buffs", "nerfs", and "changes" subsections - and look what literally everyone is doing, they're grouping all the buffs, nerfs, and changes together, making these templates an utter waste. We should just delete them unless people start moving towards mixing them together as originally intended.

:He's right. By using these templates, we have simply removed the changes subsections, and readded them with color. <s>And to Scr - Nearly every character in PM was buffed. Nearly. DDD was nerfed, Toon Link was nerfed, and Olimar was (severely) nerfed.</s><font face="sand">[[User:Qwerty|<font color="#04FE6D">Qwerty</font>]] [[User talk:Qwerty|<font color="#66CC2A">da</font>]] [[Special:Logout|<font color="#08CFCC">beast</font>]]</font> [[File:Nessytrewq.jpg|16px]]  15:54, 19 July 2014 (EDT)
