I was planning on replacing all the templates with {{t|Special Moves}} (for the reasons given above) but got sidetracked with all my other stuff. If people start replacing the individual templates with this one, then we can get rid of them and everything will be just better.

:The reason I was reluctant to jump straight to plonking down {{t|Special Moves}} on each page is that you move the "data drift" from the labels (Side special move, etc) to the actual data - for instance, <nowiki>{{Link Special Moves}}</nowiki> is transcluded on eight separate pages [including each individual move listed]. It doesn't make that much sense to have to edit those later on in eight separate pages - which end up rendered in slightly different ways or linking to different redirects! - if you can enter them once and once only. Entering <nowiki>{{Special Moves|each=individual|move=and so on}}</nowiki> ''on | :The reason I was reluctant to jump straight to plonking down {{t|Special Moves}} on each page is that you move the "data drift" from the labels (Side special move, etc) to the actual data - for instance, <nowiki>{{Link Special Moves}}</nowiki> is transcluded on eight separate pages [including each individual move listed].

::Part of the reason I made this in the first place was so we could have the required dissonance to put Boomerang as Link's neutral special on Link (SSB), but as his side special on Link (SSBM) and Link (SSBB), and as both on the Boomerang page itself; without having to do shoehorns like "Brawl only".

:GW for Mr. Game & Watch is admittedly the least-used/least-needed abbreviation. That said, if someone sees a template labelled "DK's Special Moves", "ZSS's Special Moves", or "Dedede's Special Moves", I don't think there will be any confusion. I removed the long options ("Samus Aran" etc) because this template isn't (and shouldn't be) used on the pages where we refer to the characters by such names.
