:::It’s actually a relatively simple change, which is why I’m scratching my head at it taking so long. Attempting to not break the rules, I actually edited the SSBU pages for Corrin, Inkling, Robin, Villager, and Wii Fit trainer to not contain pronouns at all (aside from the World of Light section, where I specifically state the default one). You can actually check out [[Corrin (SSBU)]], [[Inkling (SSBU)]], [[Robin (SSBU)]], [[Villager (SSBU)]], and [[Wii Fit Trainer (SSBU)]] to see if they look like the rule should be lifted or banned. Or heck, just replace the rule with a suggestion to avoid using pronouns at all, just like a all of the tips outside of the “In Their Series” section. | :::It’s actually a relatively simple change, which is why I’m scratching my head at it taking so long.

::::I wouldn't support a rule removing all pronouns entirely. When used properly they greatly improve the flow of sentences. That said, while I think it's a simple change in terms of the complexity, it's also not a particularly urgent or important one, so I don't overly see the harm in waiting until discussion has progressed further. – [[User:Emmett|<span style="color:#000000">Emmett</span>]] 13:22, 16 January 2019 (EST) | ::::I wouldn't support a rule removing all pronouns entirely.

:::To respond to Toomai, I was mainly just tallying up the consensus, since IP had asked whether we had one or not. [[User:SugarCookie420|SugarCookie420]] ([[User talk:SugarCookie420|talk]]) 13:47, 16 January 2019 (EST) | |||
