Forums: Index Proposals Centralize spirit battles
Proposed.png This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented.

Spirit Battle tables in their current state are a little... messy. If a user feels that it is necessary to make an edit to a battle entry, they will need to hunt down every usage of that battle entry. Here's a hypothetical: I want to make an edit to the 'Hungry Luma' spirit battle (wrong type, song, whatever). Easy, I go to the list of Super Mario spirits and change it. Done? Nope. Now I go to Rosalina's page, edit, go to Kirby's page, edit, and now I'm hopefully done. A recent headache came from Cuphead's spirit battle where it changes if you have DLC, now the edit needs to be made on Ready?_Wallop!, Peach_(SSBU), Mega_Man_(SSBU), Mii_Gunner_(SSBU), and List_of_spirits_(Others). This will only grow as we have about two more years of content coming.

I think we should move the battles into a large template so that we can make an edit in one place, and if we want to add a battle to a table we just say "give me the entry for spirit number x". I'm not too familiar with how templates work, however I imagine it will be similar to Template:SSB4_to_SSBU_changelist where it is a switch condition. Inspirations can be omitted from the template and added as a cell on the table. The only thing I don't know how to do is making the fighter's name bold on their pages like the navbox.

Along with making edits easier it should allow for adding hidden data easy--such as hidden conditions, stats, and modifiers--if we get our hands on them. A similar thing could also be done for Fighter Battles, where if we decide one format is better we can change it in one place instead of 80+ pages. --CanvasK (talk) 18:20, February 18, 2020 (EST)
