Forums: Index Help desk Some categories overlap. How do I decide which info goes where?

The attributes category seems to overlap with others, bringing up aspects of what makes a fighter good or bad similar to their overview. The attributes categories also talk quite a bit about fighter moves which I feel defeats the purpose of the move listings and overviews. If I'm filling in character overviews, should I also put the same information into the attributes category? If I'm overviewing movesets, should the same words go into attributes as well? Some of the categories seem redundant due to how wide the "attributes" subject matter seems to be. Yo'ster (talk) 20:39, May 1, 2024 (EDT)

The intro section should be a brief summary of the other (competitive-related) sections--it does not need to go into detail about their stats or attacks, though exceptional ones could be mentioned. The intro for Roy (SSBU) is one that was cleaned up not long ago to be what is expected. The Attributes section has some detail about stats, most moves, maybe combos, and a brief summing up at the end (detailed competitive viability and perception would be better of in the "Tier placement and history" section). The moveset tables go into more detail than what is in the Attributes section, with mentions of frames, special properties, common combos, etc. The hitbox pages (ideally) go into even more detail than the moveset tables (to save me the effort, the details of that have been outlined here). --CanvasK (talk) 00:00, May 2, 2024 (EDT)

So, extra important but basic moveset stuff in Intro, general moveset stuff in Attributes, fairly in-depth summaries of movesets in moveset tables, and all the ultra-specific details in Hitbox pages? Yo'ster (talk) 17:39, May 2, 2024 (EDT)

That's my take on the sections and what I've seen others doing. --CanvasK (talk) 13:17, May 3, 2024 (EDT)
