It’s been roughly 24 hours. Have we all come to a consensus on if the “refer to characters with multiple genders by their default costume” rule should stay or go? Personally, I’d say remove the rule, as like Emmet said, it’s more consistent with non-fighter pages, and will become less confusing in case a character changes their default gender. {{unsigned|99.203.11.147|21:01, January 13, 2019‎}}

:I think we should wait a bit more, no one has responded after Emmett's point, which to be fair is a pretty valid argument. [[User:SugarCookie420|SugarCookie420]] ([[User talk:SugarCookie420|talk]]) 21:06, 13 January 2019 (EST)

:I brought this up earlier ([[Forum:General Proposals#Gender-neutral writing|on the General Proposals page]] and was mostly met with opposition, but I still think going gender-neutral would be the better option. The "use the gender of the default costume" rule leads to a lot of confusion, and it wouldn't hurt the flow much to just use "they".
