How to handle images

Ok so if we put all 4 portions of the stage into the infobox, it's going to be a mess, so here is my proposal (and this is more or less to be implemented when the stage gets released): We put the original SMB portion (wii u) in the infobox and throw the other 3 in a gallery at the bottom of the page. The original version...is the most iconic, obviously. Serpent∞King (talk) 22:12, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

The randomized layout stages are kind of a permanent mess. I think ultimately the trick will be to try and get as much of the randomizable content into as few pictures as is reasonably possible. Miles (talk) 22:15, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

I'd say just one per style, with SMB taking the infobox (which is seemingly what Serpent King was trying to say). And Omega, of course. (how would that even work?) ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 22:16, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

I support that, because, if we've done it before, then I don't see why we can't do it again. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 22:27, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

In case it's unclear: support for me too Serpent∞King (talk) 22:34, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

I support per Serpent peeps. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 23:29, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Announced 3 Days After SMM's release

Alrighty folks, we got a little problem here. A small edit war commenced over a trivial, oh so trivial...trivia point. We got Aidanzapunk here, who is clearly king of trivia (and we mean a LOT of trivia), of all sorts, who has put the detail that the stage was announced 3 days after SMM's release at the current, and only, trivia point. What does this trivia say? To paraphrase this single sentence, it basically states that SMM is the most recently represented game in SSB4. Now, what does SMM's representation in Smash have to do with the SMM stage being announced 3 days after its release? Not as much as the actual release date of SMM, which is mentioned in the first paragraph. It takes like 5, 6, 7 words or so after stating it was announced in the first paragraph to say that it was announced 3 days after SMM's release date. That is also possible to put after the trivia point. But the point is, is that there is a direct relation between the two dates (SMM's release and the SMM stage's announcement), thus, it would be no problem, in fact, most logical to put them together. I've hidden the text in the two possible areas; I would most desire to hear your thoughts. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 23:29, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

If it's a trivia point, it belongs in trivia. I am not sure what there is to argue here. Serpent∞King (talk) 23:31, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Is it trivia though? That is the question. The fact that it was announced 3 days after SMM's release, I think, is enough to warrant a brief mention after the statement stating its announcement date. For all we know, its announcement date could be trivia. Could. In fact, a lot of things could be trivia. There's a reason why the fact that SMM is the most recently represented game in Smash is delegated to trivia. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 23:34, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

By the way, if this ends up being deemed trivia, it belongs in a second bullet point, not in the same point or a sub-bullet point. Actually, I'd be find with that, and I'll change it to that right now. But if we come up with something better here by consensus we can change it.Smashedpotatoes (talk) 23:39, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

SK couldn't have said it better; I'm good with obscure facts, and that's why I'm, as you have dubbed me, "clearly king of trivia". That said, that's the only reason I put it back. I don't see why it's (almost) always you that has a problem with what I put as trivia. We've talked about this before. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 23:44, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Are you good with how it is right now? I should have done that in the first place. A lot of time I have a problem with your trivia is that some of them can be uninteresting. Mostly what's in the sub-bullets. Or, the points in the sub-bullets aren't interesting or significant enough to be sub-bullets, so they could be merged with the parent bullet and be fine. In this case, it's the opposite, as the two points in the singular bullet have little relation to each other, but they're still interesting/significant, so it should be split in two. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 23:49, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Ok, SP, what you put made it worse. Saying "this stage was announced blah blah blah" isn't interesting trivia, whereas saying "this game has the most recent representation, as the stage was announced blah blah blah" makes it sound so much better. It's late for me, I've had a rough day, and I'm in no mood to discuss this now. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 23:50, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Honestly, I feel that Aidan is one of few who actually know what they are doing with trivia. Serpent∞King (talk) 23:51, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Well, hey, SP was right to dub me "clearly king of trivia". Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 23:52, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Split, anyone? I feel that's the best way to go about this. Just split it in two. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 23:53, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

It stands 3-1 in favor of not splitting. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 23:54, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

What? No split. Serpent∞King (talk) 23:55, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Better idea. Instead of saying it was announced 3 days after its release, how about we say the game was released less than a month prior to the stage's release. I mean that's the main problem, the lack of pertinence. Eh? Smashedpotatoes (talk) 23:58, 14 September 2015 (EDT)

Why make it less specific? Serpent∞King (talk) 00:00, 15 September 2015 (EDT)

Being vague would only make it less pertinent. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 00:00, 15 September 2015 (EDT)

It's not about specificity. An announcement isn't as significant, or pertinent to the first part of that sentence, as a release. Smashedpotatoes (talk) 00:02, 15 September 2015 (EDT)

It's a minor but interesting note. It's totally fine in my book. Miles (talk) 23:47, 14 September 2015 (EDT)
