::My dumbass hit submit before finishing my thought. I don't think it's that harmful leaving the section in, especially since [[SmashWiki:SmashWiki is not official|we don't have to follow what ''Smash'' does]]. Plus, it also helps identify where the image originates, so if you ask me removing it would probably do more harm than good.

:::SW:OFFICIAL doesn't really apply here; we still list both official and unofficial information in these pages besides Series and Origin Games/Artworks, and it not being official was never an argument made in favor for its removal. In the case of artwork, I believe it's only necessary to specify its origin should it be sufficiently noteworthy for trivia, and I don't believe an image's origin is of large enough interest for the majority of the community that its removal could be considered detrimental, unlike something like the Inspiration column.

#As Cookies said, it's harmless enough, and provides some interesting info for curious readers. In contrast, the Series Order not only provides less info, but in some cases it's absolutely redundant; several long-running series such as [[List of spirits (The Legend of Zelda series)|Zelda]], [[List of spirits (Yoshi series)|Yoshi]], [[List of spirits (Metal Gear series)|Metal Gear]], [[List of spirits (Sonic the Hedgehog series)|Sonic]], and [[List of spirits (Animal Crossing series)|Animal Crossing]] each list only a single "origin series" for all spirits; surely, that's no less redundant than specifying that all Punch-Out artwork is from the Wii title. In other cases, SmashWiki does go directly against what the games actually say in the interest of providing more precise information; for example, ''SSBU'' merely says that the {{SSBUMusicLink|Star Fox|Star Wolf}} theme is from ''Star Fox 64'' (where the theme originated), but SmashWiki says this track comes from ''Star Fox Assault'' instead (where this specific remix is directly ported from). I don't see why we can't do the same for spirits, as we already have been doing. I certainly wouldn't be against combining "game/artwork origins" and "series" into a single table, but I do feel we'd be losing something if we cut the former out entirely. --[[User:PeabodySam|PeabodySam]] ([[User talk:PeabodySam|talk]]) 15:57, March 23, 2020 (EDT) | |||

#I'm neutral on this, though I lean toward keeping it. I wouldn't be torn up if it were removed, but I don't see the need to remove it either. The "series" listing is vague and at times [[List of spirits (Super Mario series)#Trivia|inaccurate]], and it is still useful and interesting information to have, not necessarily superfluous. I do agree something needs to be done about the clunky "series order" sections, so if this is the solution I can see the case for it. ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 18:57, March 16, 2020 (EDT) | #I'm neutral on this, though I lean toward keeping it.
