Talk:Series symbol: Difference between revisions

I don't see why we use the "Special Stages" symbol for the pages about subjects from unrepresented universes. This symbol was used once officially for the Melee {{SSB4|Battlefield}} but we use it for the minor universes. Isn't that kind of confusing? When Super Smash Bros. show something from a universe not represented by a fighter or stage, like the Smash 4 trophies in the Trophy Gallery and the Ultimate Assist Trophies in the Nintendo Directs they simply don't use a series symbol for unrepresented series while they have the appropriate symbols for represented series. I think we should remove the SpecialSeries symbol from the articles when they are not referring to SSBM Battlefield. The Assist Trophies would look better without that unnecessary symbol in their caption. On tables? I'm sure there would be a way to work with unbranded universes. We don't need a placeholder.

:I disagree that we don't need a placeholder - for one, simply because we're a wiki. If someone comes along to a page and sees that there is no symbol for something, they're more likely to believe that it's missing as opposed to intentionally absent, and try to add one. Whereas if we use a placeholder symbol, chosen because it has official existence yet is only used in one rather obscure location, they're more likely to leave it be. Plus at this point it's kind of a "thing" of ours; more experienced readers understand how we use it and will get confused if it suddenly disappears without replacement.
