Mostly this is pretty good, but I do have some minor points I'd make based on my own opinions:

  • Galleries should pretty much always be one of the last sections on a page, regardless of the article's subject. Usually the only things that should come after a gallery section are trivia and stuff like external links/references. Origin should always be above the gallery.
  • Tournament legality sections are debatable in terms of how needed they are. Not only is it generally covered in the infoboxes, most of the time it's obvious enough that it can be explained in a sentence or two at most, which could easily be appended to the opening blurb or the layout sections. Only in cases with a more complicated history like Hyrule Castle do I really think it's necessary. (In particular, we already have pretty thorough explanations for a lot of things on banned stage.)
  • If you're already going through and standardizing things on these articles, it would be nice to see the headers on omega forms actually say "Ω form", since that is the correct phrasing and it's not a proper noun.

Hopefully this input was worthwhile. Miles (talk) 13:12, 17 August 2015 (EDT)

Tournament layout & origin[edit]

I feel like the order of these two sections should be reversed, as it seems to flow better from layout to trivia to me. The layout → the competitive application of the layout → extra information on the stage in its native series → extra information on the stage in Smash Bros. just makes more sense to me.

(Sorry, I just noticed this as I was just about to ask you about this page.) I'm not sure if I understand your point, Layout -> Competitive -> Origin -> Trivia is what is outlined in the page and what I have been doing. The only dubious point is Gallery's placement (see Miles above). -Menshay (talk) 07:27, 28 October 2015 (EDT)
About this in general, what do you think of what I've done so far? (The articles in green with some exceptions; if in doubt check my latest revision in the page history (not to imply it's the best, it's just the most likely to be the closest to what I envisioned)). -Menshay (talk) 07:55, 28 October 2015 (EDT)
