Template talk:Buff

May I ask what the intended use is? PikaSamus (talk) 12:34, 17 November 2014 (EST)

Buffs on Character pages, Toomai was refering paticularly to Ness' SSB4 page with these deletion tags though. Laikue (talk | contribs) 12:40, 17 November 2014 (EST)

The system in place before these templates was having buffs, nerfs, and changes in separate subsections. These templates were made to change this into a single section with these three things intermixed, using colour to denote whether something was a buff/nerf/change. The problem: Literally every user other than me attempts to sort such lists by buff/nerf/change, resulting in the list being functionally identical to the previous system, except with huge blocks of colour instead of subsections - and now with SSB4, there also seems to be a pandemic of sub-bullets putting nerfs as "subpoints" of buffs (as opposed to just listing them seperately). It's so toxic that there seems to be no solving it. Toomai Glittershine The Cloronic 12:44, 17 November 2014 (EST)

Deletion

I am strongly against this, not only are the templates widely used, but it's easier to keep track of which points are nerfs and which points are buffs, as well as those that lean both ways, without them it all kinda blends together..... plus the templates are used on over 100 pages, including certain user pages.

The point of these templates was to blend things together, to list things in a "moveset order" instead of a "buffs/nerfs/changes" order. That's why they're up for deletion - because it seems no one wants to do so. Toomai Glittershine The Cloronic 12:44, 17 November 2014 (EST)
