::::::And your [[File:Data.png|16px]] proposal above I'd assume shares a similar purpose, being a competitive reference? Out of curiosity, what's the reason for that having a separate icon from the basic [[File:Competitive.png|16px]], then?

:::::::I think the idea was similar to that of the unofficial lingo or featured article icons - they tell you something about the article itself (in this case, that it's focused on technical data) rather than its content. I dropped the idea though, because it's probably a good idea to try and keep the number of icons as low as possible, and am considering a template at the bottom of such pages, like how Bulbapedia has several "this page is part of project X" notices.

=="Allgames" usage== | |||
I think it shouldn't be used, I didn't mind it originally, but then another user reverted some edits I made with them saying "What if for some odd reason he (Captain Falcon) was removed? Best to avoid allgames on fighter characters.", and it got me to thinking, what's stopping '''anything''' from being removed? Every time we get a new game we're going to have to remove the template from every single page it's on until they're confirmed for the game. (Which is going to be a lot of low-brow edits) So I ask, what's the point? It clears up about 22 bytes from the page, but will give more heartache later when we get a new game announcement. There will never be a good time to use it, I mean, what if we get a spin-off of Smash (say a Pokemon or Mario Character based spin-off) that'll affect it as well. And if there is a good use for it (i.e. A Button, or something, but still the A button could be removed for some odd reason), it should be mentioned in this article. But overall I think we should just stop using it. [[User:Laikue|Laikue]] ([[User talk:Laikue|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Laikue|contribs]]) 18:37, 8 September 2014 (EDT) | |||
