So I am suggesting that we remove the "update history" section in character pages, as this essentially is the same information as what can be found on [[Special:PrefixIndex/List_of_updates_(SSB4)|these pages]]. Having this on the character pages really is just extra clutter: Having a "changes from Brawl" section which details changes from Brawl to the latest version of SSB4 should really be plenty. But I wanted to hear all your thoughts on the matter as usual, so please, discuss. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 20:42, 2 February 2016 (EST) | So I am suggesting that we remove the "update history" section in character pages, as this essentially is the same information as what can be found on [[Special:PrefixIndex/List_of_updates_(SSB4)|these pages]].

#'''Support'''. 1) There's a table of contents. So no clutter. 2) It makes the page easier to read. 3) We can keep the CFB section up to date without worrying about an extra section.

Hope you don't mind me adding this new section, but I can't make up my mind. I'm just not sure what to do. On one hand, people might want to compare the old to the new. On the other hand, it is less cluttering. However, it would be annoying to check each, individual update. Would they at least be put on a new, separate page?

#'''Undecided'''. If we removed it we would still have to update every page where the character changed. We wouldn't have the same data however on two different pages, however. It seems less convenient to have it like this and would have to look at multiple different pages just to see what we could be seen in one section. We could have all updates in one page which would alleviate that problem. -- [[User:Ethan7|<span style="color:#000f55;font-family:Cursive;font-style:italic">Ethan</span>]][[file:Ethan7sig.png|20px|link=User:Ethan7]]<small>''([[User talk:Ethan7|<span style="color:Blue">Discussion</span>]])''</small> 20:54, 2 February 2016 (EST) | |||

This is going to be a huge mess no matter how you do it. The problem is that you have to decide which of the following we care about listing on the main "Character (SSB4)" page: | This is going to be a huge mess no matter how you do it.

Logistically there's no easy way to present all of these in a concise manner. The issue is that none of them are "wrong", as much as they're providing some of the same data in different ways.
