The top-level smasher category
In the same way that we don't put someone in both Category:American smashers and Category:New York smashers, why should we automatically put every smasher into Category:Smashers? It's basically a category containing the entire namespace (plus images, those are fine). I propose we delete the auto-inclusion of the top-level smasher category. Toomai Glittershine

Support for removal of the Category:Smashers on the smasher pages With the smasher pages already having the title, Smasher:X person, the Smashers category is redundant on their page as well. Dots

- So that if someone's looking for articles on a bunch of smashers, they can find them. I don't see what's wrong with a category containing every single smasher article just for organization purposes. Awesome Cardinal 2000 00:15, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
- Assuming that every smasher page has the top-level smasher category (which is clearly the intent of having it in the template), the category pretty much becomes a duplicate of Special:AllPages for the Smasher: namespace in addition to being a parent category. It might have been useful before the namespace was added; it certainly isn't now. Toomai Glittershine The Brass 00:43, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
- Having a category for the smasher articles is simpler and easier to find than using AllPages. Awesome Cardinal 2000 13:52, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
- That's like saying it's okay to have a page called "Characters (SSBB)" that contains all the info found on every Brawl character page. Toomai Glittershine The Irrepressible 17:40, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
- The Smashers category does not contain full information on every smasher, it justs lists them. I don't see why every character can be categorized into Category:Characters, but smasher articles cannot be categorized into Category:Smashers. If someone wanted to find a page listing all the characters that appear in Smash, they could go to the category, and if someone wanted to find a list of every smasher, they could go to Category:Smashers.

Support for removal of the Category:Smashers on the smasher pages There's no reason for them to be there when they're /automatically included/. Scr7

- I hope you understand the idea here is to delete both the manual inclusion and the automatic inclusion. Toomai Glittershine The Golden 09:12, 19 October 2013 (EDT)
