It's nice that you're making technical data pages, but you're leaving them woefully incomplete. Take [[Mario (SSB4)/Down special/Default]]: it has the hitbox, sure, but it's missing the projectile data, the timing data, the overview section, and even the navigation template. (You didn't even use the correct hitbox template, so it's missing reflection/absorption data and whatnot.) Compare with [[Fox (SSBM)/Neutral special]], which has almost everything it needs. | |||
You should do one (if not both) of these two things: | |||
#Leave {{t|competitive expertise}} and {{t|technical data}} tags on the page so it can be known through the category system that it's incomplete. | |||
#Don't make new pages if you can't do them justice. It's better for an expert to see a redlink and know "this needs doing" than to see a bluelink to almost nothing and think "I should do something else". | |||

Redirects
Okay, before you continue, while it's nice to see you trying to make finding articles more convenient, the redirects you're making are completely unnecessary, as it's not hard to search for "character (SSB4)". Plus, the redirects just look really unprofessional, honestly. Disaster Flare

Tech data pages
It's nice that you're making technical data pages, but you're leaving them woefully incomplete. Take Mario (SSB4)/Down special/Default: it has the hitbox, sure, but it's missing the projectile data, the timing data, the overview section, and even the navigation template. (You didn't even use the correct hitbox template, so it's missing reflection/absorption data and whatnot.) Compare with Fox (SSBM)/Neutral special, which has almost everything it needs.
You should do one (if not both) of these two things:
- Leave {{competitive expertise}} and {{technical data}} tags on the page so it can be known through the category system that it's incomplete.
- Don't make new pages if you can't do them justice. It's better for an expert to see a redlink and know "this needs doing" than to see a bluelink to almost nothing and think "I should do something else".
