::::::I don’t know whether this would require a separate proposal, but I think the most elegant way of including these pages on the templates may actually be to include it linked in the name/header of the template itself, just as how, say the “Masterpieces in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U” template includes links to both the Masterpieces page and the page for Smash for Wii U. Fundamentally, this page is too important to leave off of the template. As an extension of the main universe article, it warrants linking just as the main article does. If having it as its own field would look too inelegant, I see this as likely the best approach. | ::::::I don’t know whether this would require a separate proposal, but I think the most elegant way of including these pages on the templates may actually be to include it linked in the name/header of the template itself, just as how, say the “Masterpieces in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U” template includes links to both the Masterpieces page and the page for Smash for Wii U.

::::::I really just believe the template for a given universe should link directly to all the pages focusing on content from that universe that appears in Smash, and I see it as a problem that universes without a sub-page directly link ( by their header) to a page detailing this sort of information, while any universe where that section got split off does not have that information directly linked from the template. I view it this a matter of consistency, and of completeness in the sort of information these templates should directly link, to include a direct link to these sub-pages somewhere on the relevant templates. I would gladly defer to others about how best to arrange the link to maintain the aesthetic consistency of the template, as my concern if of getting it to be there, where it eminently belongs, at all.

<small>(Reset indent) </small>When I said it was a hypothetical, I was indicating that me bringing it up wasn't because you had suggested it, just that I was bringing it up as a ridiculous idea that never would have come to light.<br> | |||
The templates contain plenty of pages that aren't linked to already by itself (mainly the special move pages), but I also don't think that those necessarily belong there.<br> | |||
The difference there is the fact that it's linking to two different places: one link to the page for masterpieces, and one link to the page for Smash for Wii U. One is not an extension of the other.<br> | |||
I again point out that special move pages are nowhere on the universe templates, and to be frank, I think that should stay that way, especially when there's a metric ton of special moves created specifically for Smash itself, and have next to zero actual correlation to anything within the series that the character that uses it is from.
