As more and more images of Spirits are being uploaded onto SmashWiki, it's probably best if we nip this in the bud as soon as we can.

I think that there should be a section that shows which spirits can be found in the Adventure Mode: World of Light, and which spirits cannot be obtained there. That way, people who want to get a few spirits before starting World of Light can see which ones aren't found in the adventure mode beforehand.

== Spirits Origin section ==
What would you think about moving the Origin Game column from the Spirits arrays to the Series Order array, and renaming the section Spirits Origin? [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 07:00, January 23, 2020 (EST)
<br>The idea would be to make it look like this:
{|class="wikitable sortable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! No.
! style="width:5%;"|Image
! Name
! Spirit Origin
! Artwork Origin
! Series
|-

This would even provide some room to separate the Stats column from the Primary Spirits array into 3 or 6 columns, like this:

:And I just made a Power badge to makes all of this more appealing... [[File:Equipment Icon Power Badge.png|20px]] [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 09:25, January 23, 2020 (EST)
Given the lack of reaction about that topic, and as I don't see any downside to this restructuration, I'll just go ahead and do it. If anyone thinks there are any reason not to do so, I'm inviting them to write their opinion here. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 05:25, January 31, 2020 (EST)
::As for the origin, I have no objection. As for the Stats, it seems better to keep it as it is.--[[User:Capstalker|Capstalker]] ([[User talk:Capstalker|talk]]) 06:12, February 6, 2020 (EST)
:::I think that the origin section has the least useful info for in-game uses; stats are obviously useful, acquisition on how to get more, and number for cataloging. Though perhaps it could be merged with ''Series Order''? It is fairly thin and would be just as long as an origin section. Also, the Zelda page is the only one with the origin split. Should that be changed back to match the others until a split is agreed upon?
:::The stat split I think it is very much needed. It will be useful to figure out which Primary to choose by looking for the stats you want. The series pages are also the only ones with the stats merged together; the [[Primary_spirit#List_of_primary_spirits | Primary List]] and the [[List_of_spirits_(complete_list) | Complete List]] are already split. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User_talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 09:40, February 6, 2020 (EST)
::::The idea was to transform the Series Order section into a Spirit Origin section that would include both the Spirit Origin, the Artwork Origin, and the Series. As for separating the Stats column, the intend was indeed to be able to make a good use of the sorting feature, but it's true that it's then kind of hard to guess what number is what stat, maybe it could be a better option to separate the stats yet keep the icons with the data, like in the following array.

:::::If that's the case then I think it would be fine (I should've read the original post better).
:::::I did a quick sandbox on a larger set and including the icons caused the sorting to not work properly. Sorting low to high caused 900 to be greater than 6000, defeating the purpose of the split. I think it would be best to leave only the numbers and if it is really needed then maybe a color-coding.--[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User_talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 10:25, February 6, 2020 (EST)
::::In fact, in my opinion, this function is not very important, because there is the [[Primary spirit]] page.--[[User:Capstalker|Capstalker]] ([[User talk:Capstalker|talk]]) 23:36, February 6, 2020 (EST)
:::::I don't think that is a good reasoning. Let's say I'm new to Ultimate and know very little about spirits but have collected some through my completion journey. My friend is making an arena later and is allowing spirits, I kinda like this K. Rool guy, and I heard that spirits from the same game as my character get stronger. I check the Primary spirit page and sort by attack, look hard for a spirit that looks good and notice 'Kaptain K. Rool'. I choose him because he has 5600 attack and is obviously from the same game. What I don't realize is that he is 53rd in attack and skimmed past 'Donkey Kong & Lady' which is 28th in attack, comes with a skill, and has an extra slot. I can also try the DK series spirit page but when I try to sort it it says 'Ninja Kong' is the best? He has much lower stats (I know that 'Donkey Kong & Lady' are first when unsorted, but the best isn't always first).
:::::And then there is the editing perspective. I experienced this first hand when I recently joined and Byleth was added. I had the FE spirit page open on a smaller monitor and the text started to get jumbled together because of the image names, and it gets even more confusing on mobile. "Did I paste the wrong thing? Is it formatted wrong? Did I put defense where attack goes?". Split it up, give each stat their own line in the editor, and now the only trouble is counting. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User_talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 00:45, February 7, 2020 (EST)
:::::I don't agree with the "the primary spirits page" argument. That's thinking from the perspective of a contributor, but not from the perspective of a mainstream user. If a normal user ends up on the "per series spirits page", he won't guess that there is also a primary spirits page (heck, I didn't even know myself there was such a page up until right now). I think each page have to be self sufficient. It doesn't mean that the stats split has to be there, but the idea that it doesn't need to because it's already done somewhere else is flawed. I think it's a mistake many people here make: thinking about the "right" way to do things rather than the "useful" way. We should always think things from the viewpoint of a random user ending up on the wiki from a google search. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 07:32, February 7, 2020 (EST)
::::::Not long ago, these pages were added to the template. I think it's not hard for people to found this page now. And If people need to find the spirit of a particular series, just add series to the [[Primary spirit]] page.--[[User:Capstalker|Capstalker]] ([[User talk:Capstalker|talk]]) 08:09, February 7, 2020 (EST)
:::::::If you know a bit about the wiki structure, then finding the spirit you want won't be a problem, that is true. If I'm new or lazy, then I'll google "ultimate donkey kong spirits" or search on the wiki "donkey kong spirits" which gives the series list first.
:::::::But I'm going to move past finding the spirits for now. What benefit does placing the stats into one cell have? From my point-of-view, splitting them makes them sortable, easier to edit, and takes fewer bytes. What is better about how it is now? --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User_talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 11:58, February 7, 2020 (EST)
== Spirits Trivia section ==
The addition of the Inspirations column in the Spirit Battles array came with a lot of informations, and those informations eat up a lot of space. Also, since this column has been added, several people have been trying to add inspirations about the spirits acquisitions or effects that doesn't belong there, but should definitly be put somewhere on this wiki. For both of those reasons, I'm proposing the addition of a broader Spirit Trivia section with an array listing all the inspirations for the spirits effects, acquisitions, and battles. Here is an exemple of what suche an array would look like for Geno:
{|class="wikitable sortable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! No.
! style="width:5%;"|Image
! Name
! Trivia
|-
|104
|[[File:SSBU spirit Geno.png|center|64x64px]]
|[[Geno]]
|
*Spirit Battle inspirations:
**The team that appears in his spirit battle represents the player's party in ''Super Mario RPG'': Mario, Peach, Bowser, Mallow (represented by Kirby), and Geno (represented by Sheik).
**The decreased FS Meter charge time reflects one of Geno's moves, Geno Boost, which raises his allies' attack power.
**The stage choice represents Star Road, Geno's place of origin and a prominent location in ''Super Mario RPG''.
*In World of Light, his Spirit Battle is located on the space area, reflecting how, in ''Super Mario RPG'', Geno is a warrior from Star Road.
|}
Here are some exemples of informations beside spirit battle inspirations that could be featured in that new trivia section:
*Lakitu & Spiny: The type of this spirit is Grab in reference of Lakitu frequently using a fishing rod for various tasks since Super Mario Kart.
*Absolutely Safe Capsule: The maximum defense stat of this spirit is 10,000, the highest in Smash, because this capsule is supposed to be impossible to break.
*Waluigi: This spirit effect is Foot Attack ↑ as a reference to Waluigi being described having strong legs in Mario Tennis/Party ''(not sure, but you get the idea)''.
*Geno: In World of Light, his Spirit Battle is located on the space area because, in Super Mario RPG, Geno is a warrior from Star Road.
*Mimicutie: In World of Light, her Spirit Battle become available after the player tries to open a fake chest, referencing how Mimicuty tricks people by looking like a chest.
*Zelda (Spirit Tracks): This spirit is enhanced from the Phantom spirit because in Spirit Tracks, Zelda is first introduced as a Phantom ''(not sure, but you get the idea)''.
*Poppi α: This spirit is available throught summoning, reflecting how in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 she is an artificial blade built by Tora.
*Aegislash: This spirit is available at Anna's Emporium to reference the fact that it is classified as a Royal Sword Pokémon in the Pokédex.
*Stack-Up: This spirit can exclusively be acquired by purchasing it in a shop, referencing how R.O.B. was initially a real life accessory for the Nes sold separatly.
*Agitha: This spirit can be obtained by completing the challenge "Collect 10 unique spirits" just like she revolved around collecting insects in Twilight Princess.
So, what do you think about such a new section? [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 07:46, January 23, 2020 (EST)
:''QUOTE:'' Hmm... I'm not sure. I feel like we don't need to note too much about how spirits are ''acquired'', per se, and the Spirit Battle inspiration works better when the stats of the battle are there to see. I can't say it's a bad idea, though. ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 20:40, January 17, 2020 (EST)
::''QUOTE:''  For the stats of the battle, it depends on the wording; if you go with "the conditions references...", it's sure gonna be confusing, but if it's rather "the low gravity condition references...", it's gonna be more understandable.
