Greetings all, I am the artist formerly known as Oxico and currently known as Toymaker's Creation. I would like to talk today about the Moveset sections on the fighter pages. While perusing through the many fighter pages on this wiki, I noticed a lack of uniformity amongst the Moveset sections. This inconsistency exists throughout the games, and is particularly bad in the Melee and Brawl pages. However, I would like to focus on standardizing the Moveset section for Smash 4 fighter pages first, so that this clear standard can then be applied to the previous games. [[Greninja (SSB4)|Some]] [[Mega Man (SSB4)|pages]] utilize a [[Template:MovesetTable|table-based format]], that includes designated spaces for the names of the attacks, the damage the attacks deal, and a description of the attack. However, a majority of [[Duck Hunt (SSB4)|other]] [[Robin (SSB4)|pages]] utilize a bulleted format. There was a [[User talk:Miles of SmashWiki#Character Movesets|short discussion]] previously held regarding this topic, and I wanted to open it to public discussion. Which moveset should be the standard? | Greetings all, I am the artist formerly known as Oxico and currently known as Toymaker's Creation.

I believe the {{t|MovesetTable}} format is vastly superior as it offloads everything but base damage and short description to [[SW:MSP|the subpage network]], leaving just basic information on the character page and preventing it from becoming too bloated.

:I seem to prefer the table rather than the bulleted list. The table makes it easier to read the information, such as damage done and move description.

The moveset table is the better option in my opinion. All we need to list on character pages is the damage and some simple, obvious details of their moves, which are much neater and easier to read in the table, rather than the bulleted lists that have details all over the place. The tables will only grow overflown and all "squished up" if moves are explained in much further detail, which is what moveset subpages are for - honestly, I think that not many people are aware of the entire moveset subpage project just because so little is being done about it at the moment. I also don't think the sections of the bulleted lists are important, since specific types of moves are still grouped together in the tables, and nothing is hard to navigate.
