Proposed.png This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented.

While browsing/editing today, I noticed that doubles teams such as El Chocolate Diablo and PewFat weren't in the Team namespace. After another user moved El Chocolate Diablo, I did so for PewFat and others. However, I soon noticed that I was moving these pages over a redirect. Upon further investigation, I realized that XL initially moved doubles teams into the Team namespace when it was created in 2018, but then in 2019 a couple users moved them out of Team and back into the mainspace.

Now noticing the lack of an official policy on the matter, and fearing I may have acted unilaterally too quickly when it came to moving the pages I did, I'm opening up this forum to gauge wider opinion. Perhaps this forum can also bring about more discussion as to the purpose of the Team namespace, and whether or not it may be too broad (as opposed to "Crew," etc. - I know this debate has been had in the past, but that doesn't mean it has to be left in the past/can't be applicable here as well).

When I moved the El Chocolate Diablo page I was under the impression that every article for doubles teams were already under the Team namespace and that El Chocolate Diablo was simply forgotten. Of course once I realized it moved over a redirect I also stopped and checked the history. It seems like a decision was made by two users that doubles teams shouldn't be under the Team namespace. I don't believe there was any consensus for this beyond that. I really see no reason as to why it shouldn't be in the Team namespace. The category itself is called "Teams" after all.

Support: Don't see any reason why this shouldn't be in the team namespace, or why they weren't in the first place. For my signature. Omega Toαd, the Toad Warrior. (I'm the best!) 22:30, June 6, 2021 (EDT)
