Forum:Expanding certain character infobox templates

Forums: Index → Proposals → Expanding certain character infobox templates

There are many non playable characters in Smash, such as Assist Trophies, stage hazards, Mii Costumes, characters assisting in a Final Smash, for these we use the Template:Infobox Character General. For a few, like bosses, enemies and Poké Ball Pokémon, we use different templates, like Template:Boss, Template:Infobox Enemy and Template:Pokémon. Although these characters are no less important than the others, their infoboxes contain less information for whatever reason (I assume as a carryover from when most of them were Smash originals).

I propose to add the following parameters to all the aforementioned infoboxes:

• Debut game
• Most recent appearance
• Platform of origin
• Place of origin
• Created by and Designed by

These are all pretty much self explanatory. The following should be added to only one specific infobox.

• Species: only to the Boss infobox. As enemies and Pokémon are mobs instead of individuals, their species is pretty much already implicitly stated.
• Gender: as above, bosses are individuals, while enemies and Pokémon are mobs and therefore their gender varies.
• Smash Bros. appearances: to the enemy infobox because it is inexplicably missing it.

EDIT: forgot to add it initiallty, but Template:Infobox Item might warrant implementing the first three points about origins, the rest however is arguably unnecessary or not applicable. --Rdrfc (talk) 15:25, March 26, 2021 (EDT)

Support

1. Per proposa. --Rdrfc (talk) 15:15, March 26, 2021 (EDT)
2. Support I don't see why they shouldn't have that information in their infobox and I assume it was just an oversight to begin with rather than an intentional ommission. Omega Tyrant 19:14, March 26, 2021 (EDT)
