Talk:List of Copy Abilities/Archive 1

SSB3DS

I'm guessing you're going to include SSBB and SSB4 screens for this page as well. If this is the case, are you thinking of using the 3DS or Wii U screens, or possibly both? I think it'd be best to stick with Wii U screens due to size and lack of necessity for using both versions. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 19:28, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

I think we should use both if space allows. Most copy ability appearances change very little from game to game anyways aside from the art style, which I'd say varies quite a bit across versions. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 19:37, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

Sounds good, I started Bowser's, I'm not sure if it'll still look nice with a 3DS screenshot section, but that call's up to you. Also, are you gonna capitalize "Copy Ability?" As a proper noun, it's been capitalized in both the Smash and Kirby series. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 19:45, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

Hmm...let me try something... Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 19:47, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

Brilliant. That's kinda what I was hoping you would do haha. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 19:52, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

Thanks. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 19:53, 1 October 2015 (EDT)

When this is draft becomes an article "Copy Ability" needs to be capitalized. Like it's not top priority or anything, but that's how it should be Smashedpotatoes (talk) 14:04, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

Where is it capitalized in the Smash series? Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 15:45, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

Every mention of it in Smash except for one tip in SSB4, I believe. There are also one or two instances of "Copy ability," which refers to Kirby's actual ability to copy abilities. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 15:51, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

The point's pretty much that it's a proper noun in the Kirby series, and it's treated as a proper noun in the Smash series as well, hence why it should be capitalized. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 15:52, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

Understood. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 16:05, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

Both capitalizations are viable and official. Some level of consensus will be needed. Miles (talk) 16:12, 2 October 2015 (EDT)

That's fair. If we're going by basis of quantity, aside from one tip in SSB4 and I think one Kirby Hat trophy in Melee, all of the official mentions, (in trophies, other tips, etc.) which are much higher in quantity, have capitalization. If we're going by logic, it's a proper noun in the Kirby series, and has been treated as such (aside from two isolated instances) in the Smash series, so there's no reason why it shouldn't be capitalized. Stuff like Arm Cannon, Super Mushroom, and Levin Sword are all proper nouns in their respective series, and are treated as such in the Smash series, all with capitalization. My stance is capitalize.

Alright

You're an admin, you gonna make this a page now? Smashedpotatoes (talk) 15:36, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

Just as soon as I look at the discussions on the current copy ability pages to determine capitalization. Nyargleblargle (Talk · Contribs) 15:45, 3 October 2015 (EDT)
