::That's what the "series" icon is for though. "allgames" is for characters and items and such. Because of this, I say that it should be removed, as it just majorly increases our workload, whereas if we abolish it, we save a lot of time and work initially as we can just add the new game icon as things are revealed. I ''support'' removing it entirely. [[User:Laikue|Laikue]] ([[User talk:Laikue|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Laikue|contribs]]) 10:56, 25 December 2015 (EST)

:::I'm aware of the difference between allgames and series. My exact argument is that removing the allgames parameter will cause ''more'' workload than keeping it. Just using the techniques page as an example, there's ''loads'' of techniques (and countless other pages) that are naturally carried over from previous games, like the aforementioned short hopping. Who's going to remember every one of them, and go back to manually add the hypothetical Smash 5 icon to each individual article one by one? That's going to leave a large number of articles outdated for an indeterminate amount of time, and it's certainly not the case that everything can be covered just by adding things as they are revealed. (As I mentioned earlier, even now you can find a bunch of articles with sections that still imply ''Brawl'' is the latest game.) The list of things that are cut as opposed to carried over is much shorter. Would you rather have to manually remember to stick the Smash icon on [[Training Mode]] and [[List of voice actors]] and so on, or remember to revert pages like [[Target Smash]]? My argument is that it's much easier to remember everything that's missing, compared to everything that's still there.

:::I will state that there's a case for avoiding the allgames parameter for ''specific'' article types that are specifically easy to enumerate, such as characters, stages, and items. But do not remove allgames entirely from all pages. [[User:Zowayix|Zowayix]] ([[User talk:Zowayix|talk]]) 21:22, 25 December 2015 (EST)
