Template talk:SSB4-U stage table

8-Player Smash stages
Should we Italicize stages that are usable in 8 Player Smash for quick reference?

 * As there is a different set of stages for 5 and 6 player, no. Laikue (talk | contribs) 17:33, 9 November 2014 (EST)

Template is too big!
Do I need to explain? The template is wider than the actual page, so I'm wondering if it's possible to make it fit.... I tried with rows with 5 stages wide, but there's 53 of them, so it ended up being too tall. ~ So sayeth SG9000 ~ (talk) 11:54, 30 September 2015 (EDT)
 * It's gonna be bad for somebody no matter what. I just previewed a layout more like the 3DS version where it's 6 wide, which would leave the last row one short with 53. However, trying to use colspan stuff to cheat the bottom row into centering nicely wasn't working properly. Miles ( talk)   12:15, 30 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Well, rows that are 6 wide with a hole in the middle of the bottom row (which is what I did) seems to work well. ~ So sayeth SG9000 ~ (talk) 12:40, 30 September 2015 (EDT)
 * What about Toomai's idea with the 3DS version of the table? ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 12:47, 30 September 2015 (EDT)
 * The archive boxes? Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad idea, but I'm not sure if it'd look good alongside the other templates... ~ So sayeth SG9000 ~ (talk) 12:54, 30 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Well, I guess we have leaked data for at least one more stage, so hopefully the problem will fix itself like it did with the 3DS version. (Unless, I guess, that breaks the 3DS version... hrrrm...) ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 15:50, 30 September 2015 (EDT)

DLC distinction
The way the current template is set up, DLC stages have a "(DLC)" slapped on them. I personally find this a bit aggravating (and I know I'm not the only one feeling this way), so my proposition is to denote DLC stages with italics (since unlockables are bolded), and changing the other templates accordingly. Thoughts? Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura  11:53, 2 October 2015 (EDT)
 * My only major concern is that it would cause inconsistency with SSB4 character table, which currently uses bold and bold italics to distinguish unlockability across the 3DS and Wii U versions; the templates like these are used pretty much one after the other.

 * Ok, so then make regular italics for DLC. Simple as that. Aidanzapunksignature.png Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura [[File:AidanzapunkSignaturesmall.PNG]] 13:23, 2 October 2015 (EDT)
 * That seems fine to me. Nyargle blargle  (Talk · Contribs) 15:41, 2 October 2015 (EDT)
 * Someone stole my idea of using italics for DLC... Just kidding, but jokes asides, it won't be that simple to change it for characters; the source code is locked to anyone who's not an admin. That means only people like Miles can change the character table. I thought it'd be something worth saying before we all jump to the gun and do it. Nonetheless, I agree with the idea.

 * I JUST GOT AN IDEA! The DLC stages are in their own page on both versions, right? Well, how about separating them in the templates too?

 * I quite vehemently oppose splitting them into a separate section. As for the italics, I'm waiting to see if a clear consensus occurs on the subject before taking action; I'll implement at some point soon if nobody opposes. Miles ( talk)   15:00, 5 October 2015 (EDT)

What about differently coloured backgrounds, like in Characters? Possibly even in other stage and character templates? --Menshay (talk) 15:25, 5 October 2015 (EDT)
 * That's a very bad idea. The table cells here are much bigger and that would result in a ton of visual clutter. Miles ( talk)   15:34, 5 October 2015 (EDT)
 * I put a test in the Sandbox. -Menshay (talk) 16:44, 5 October 2015 (EDT)
 * The colored cells unbalance the table visually in a way I find quite distracting. Miles ( talk)   16:45, 5 October 2015 (EDT)
