Protection?

It seems like this page has been vandalized quite a bit recently by multiple different IPs. Should the page be put under semi-protection as for now? Crazy456Rhino (talk) 10:09, November 4, 2019 (EST)

I don't know why those IPs always do that? Lucina-is-better-than-marth (talk) 09:39, January 14, 2020 (EST)

Lucina-is-better-than-Marth I think it could be because they all seem to want characters that are either already present in some caliber or are simply impossible/inane, such as Waluigi, Shadow, Sora(which might be impossible thanks to Square Enix's character restraints), and for some reason, a Tetrimino JustSomeCloudMain (talk) 18:57, May 20, 2020 (EDT)

I actually think it should be semi-protected. Since IPs can freely edit this page and easily put false info on it, then perhaps it's dangerous to leave it unprotected from IPs. SonDaniel (talk page) 21:23, May 20, 2020 (EDT)

...Well seeing as this was reopened I would say that semi-protecting this would be a smart idea since yes IPs are constantly adding blantly false info, but at the same time so far it's only 1 IP that keeps doing this so it may be better just to block the IP (in fact it is currently blocked right now). If more IPs come and vandalize this then yes it needs semi protection, at least until all DLC is released. OmegαToαd64 • the Best Kαrter 21:26, May 20, 2020 (EDT)

Wait, which IP was that? SonDaniel (talk page) 00:05, May 21, 2020 (EDT)

Split the series subsection into free updates and challenger packs

The subsection is getting pretty crowded, and half of the problem is that the free DLC spirits are mixed in with the paid ones. 72.203.118.154 15:07, March 15, 2020 (EDT)

Coronavirus

Didn’t Sakurai mention that everything is postponed due to the Coronavirus, potentially including FP2? If he did, should we mention it on the page? Pratikmii03 (talk) 12:26, March 21, 2020 (EDT)

Mii Fighter costume trivia??

Hi smash wiki. I was just wondering if we can add mii costume reveal trailer facts or general facts about each of the mii fighter costumes????? S3AHAWK (talk) 15:06, April 18, 2020 (EDT)

Most of those are/should be on their respective pages. CookiesCreme 15:34, April 18, 2020 (EDT)

Split page

I support this suggestion, so here’s what I can do to split it: split the page into several pages, one for fighters, one for spirits, and one for mii costumes. The current page will be a redirect. Let me know if anybody has other suggestions. SonDaniel (talk page) 15:42, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

I think just splitting the Spirits off of the page would work. They take up almost half of the page both in length and bytes. Perhaps make a subpage, "Downloadable content (SSBU)/Spirits". If people really want to make a distinction between free and paid DLC Spirits then the page can have all of the event/gift Spirits with a link to DLC Spirits (mode). --CanvasK (talk) 16:01, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

Hmm. Good idea! Do you think we a consensus for the split to happen? SonDaniel (talk page) 18:03, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

I'd say so. It is a proposal of sorts and it is a 33+k bytes to move. Some people may object and some others may have different, maybe better ideas. --CanvasK (talk) 18:11, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

Put my support down for the "Downloadable content (SSBU)/Spirits" plan. Ahemtoday (talk) 21:48, April 29, 2020 (EDT)

I support this idea. Awesomelink234, the Super Cool Gamer (talk) 18:35, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

I also support this split. - Mega Mario Man (talk) 20:11, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

I support this idea but in a different way, I think all the spirits that are added post launch should be added on their own page so the page can be added, but I also support the idea of splitting the paid and free DLC spirits but either way I doubt you would care of the first option. S3AHAWK (Talk) 20:14, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

Are you suggesting a completely separate page or as a subpage as mentioned in my original comment? Not many people have said which option they support, so having a vote for a specific option would help narrow down what we end up doing. --CanvasK (talk) 20:24, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

I a suggesting to split the spirits to a completely separate page in a redrict.S3AHAWK (Talk) 20:33, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

I agree as well, it will save a lot of stress and navigating.--Jacob9594 (talk) 21:57, April 29, 2020 (EDT)

It seems there is a good amount of support for a split in general. The issue now is how to handle it. There are about 3 for a subpage (myself, Son Daniel, Ahemtoday) and about 2 for a new page (S3AHAWK and Jacob9594), I'm not sure which options the other users prefer as "new page" wasn't suggested as an option when they voted. Going to wait for more responses to see which is preferred. Will also need a name for the new page if that is decided. --CanvasK (talk) 22:09, April 29, 2020 (EDT)

If we are going to make a new page, I suggest copying the source of the spirits, and make a new page with new info about the DLC spirits. S3AHAWK (talk) 17:17, May 5, 2020 (EDT)

Seems I'm a bit late to the party, but I think that creating a subpage is the best course of action here. I don't think that a new page with the Spirits table would need a lot of new information to be added. At its bare minimum, simply holding the table would still fulfill the base function of basically halving the page count and improving navigation. Besides, being that the table would be a subpage of the downloadable content article, that in itself takes care of pretty much all associated contextualization. Acgamer28 14:18, May 8, 2020 (EDT)
