Forum:Codifying an official wiki character order
So recently, people have been starting to show enough dissatisfaction with the currently-not-an-official-policy order we have for characters and series that it's time to pick something and make it official.
| Toomai's order | Miles' order | |
|---|---|---|
| Design intent | Honour characters as characters. Group similar series and characters together based on their native-series relationships, mostly regardless of their playable properties. | In-game order is paramount. Chronology of introduction and qualities as fighters take precedence over who the characters are. |
Currently, Toomai's order is being used on most wiki pages, mainly because it started in a few places and spread out for consistency. This discussion is primarily intended to answer the question: Does one of the orders have significantly more community support than the other?
Users that wish to vote for an order should put a comment in the lists below. Like all wiki matters, the content of the comments matters as much as the number of them.
Toomai's order
In the end, Smash Bros. is what it is because of the characters. Using an order that does not depend much on in-game characteristics as fighters highlights that we focus on the origins of elements as much as their in-game applications, and reinforces that we do not intend any favouritism towards any particular game.

Miles' order
[Miles, insert your "pitch" here. Try to keep it short. Also correct the "design intent" in the above table if you don't like it.]
