Sounds like a good idea to me, especially if it results in less vertical space like in the example and reads more organically.

Alright. About damn time I put this up.
To put it bluntly: I really dislike the formatting of the inspiration column in the spirit battle pages. It makes short points that break the flow of reading, sometimes pointing out blatantly obvious information, and, in worse cases, making speculative statements that stretch harder than Wii Fit Trainer's taunts. I'm proposing that this formatting be changed to combine points of similar information, removing anything not as well as making an effort to not make short, blunt points that take away from any information that could (and theoretically should) be provided. While this does make the points a little bit longer, which can potentially be an issue in a cramped column of information such as this one, I believe priority lies in how we present the information itself, rather than how it looks on the page.
As an example, let's use the newly released Roxas. I'm putting these behind show/hide bars so that this page isn't insanely huge.
This is how it's formatted at the time of posting this forum.
Spirit | Battle parameters | Inspiration | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
No. | Image | Name | Enemy Fighter(s) | Type | Power | Stage | Rules | Conditions | Music | |
1,507 | Roxas | •Sora (160 HP) | 13,800 | Hollow Bastion (Dive to the Heart, Roxas) | •Health Recovery •Move Speed ↑ •Attack Power ↑ |
•Stamina battle •The enemy has increased attack power after a little while •The enemy has increased move speed after a little while •The enemy starts the battle with a Killing Edge |
Fragments of Sorrow | Spirit Battle inspiration:
Other trivia:

This is nearly identical to the way I had made it, with some minor touchups since that edit of mine, but is nonetheless how I think stuff like this should be formatted.

Obviously this is one example, but I hope that it still gets my idea across. Aidan, the Spooky Rurouni 13:00, October 26, 2021 (EDT)
I like this. I feel like there's a lot of bloat and unnecessary info in these tables, specifically in the "inspiration" table, and what is on the Roxas table is just ridiculous. I'd prefer having precision rather than having more trivia points just to explain the obvious. CookiesCreme 13:10, October 26, 2021 (EDT)
