:::Even if the fighter pages only use the default gendered variants, at least [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Corrin&curid=65399&diff=1169933&oldid=1169932 this] should be changed from “his” to “their”, as it refers to Corrin in their series, and not as a fighter. The same goes to all other non-fighter pages. | :::Even if the fighter pages only use the default gendered variants, at least [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Corrin&curid=65399&diff=1169933&oldid=1169932 this] should be changed from “his” to “their”, as it refers to Corrin in their series, and not as a fighter.

:::Additionally, about your point about Emmets’s future point being too specific has most of those circumstances filled by half of the genderswap characters already. It’s much less specific than you think. Robin almost always used the female version for their possesed form as Grima (particularly on the trading cards). Villager uses both genders equally in everything but Smash. Lastly, Corrin actually already uses the female gender more often in lpretty much everything but smash (She was clearly the default in Warriors, and she was advertised significantly more in Heroes, to the point where she’s the on the icon for one of the chapters, and was given out for free for a brief period. She also is featured more often on the official Fire Emblem trading cards). The only crietria not filled is if any character has changed their default gender in between games.

::::I'm making the assumption that the "changes between games" criteria is by far the least likely to occur. I'm also operating under the presumption that however the character appears in Smash Bros. is more important than how they appear in their home universe. | |||
::::I should also note that I'm not against having an exception for the general character pages (for example, writing [Corrin] as gender-neutral, but writing [Corrin (SSBU)] and all other pages as SSB-default).

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}} | It’s been roughly 24 hours.
