== Playable Characters or Fighters ==
Considering we changed the name from "Playable Characters" to "Fighters" in navigation, should we also change it to "Fighter" in the character pages, or leave it as "Playable Character? [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 15:13, July 4, 2021 (EDT)
==Roles in Smash==
For quite some time, I had seen inconsistencies regarding trophies with character appearances, having been listed as "Trophy Information", "Trophy Descriptions", "As a Trophy", or simply "Trophy". Sometimes a combination of them in the same page. Since most had used just "Trophy", I would change others to match if I were to see one of the others. However, it got me thinking. Stickers and Spirits are also simply listed as such, like with Trophy, do other appearances ''need'' to be listed "as a"?
Take Charizard for example: They've appeared as a Poke Ball Pokemon, a trophy, sticker, a Fighter, and a Spirit. Do we really need to list "As a" for each of it's appearances in ''Smash'', or can we just say the name of the type of appearance? I ''could'' see "As a Fighter" being an exception.
As a:
•As a Playable Character
•As an Assist Character
•As a Background Character
•As a Stage Hazard
•As a Taunt
•As an Item
•As an Assist Trophy
•As an PokeBall Pokémon
•As a Trophy
•As a Spirit
By itself:
•Playable Character
•Assist Character
•Background Character
•Stage Hazard
•Taunt
•Item
•Assist Trophy
•PokeBall Pokémon
•Trophy
•Spirit
Some descriptions sometimes say, "Character appears as a (insert here)" afterwards, explaining it in further detail which makes the former titling seem a tad redundant to me. It also kind of bloats the Contents box a bit to me if the page is long enough for it. [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 15:13, July 4, 2021 (EDT)
