Forums: Index Proposals Include voice actors on specific games' character articles' infoboxes

Strange title, I know, but I couldn't really come up with a better one. Anyways, an issue I noticed with specific game articles for characters is that they lack voice actors. I had never noticed they were missing. Voice actors are only mentioned through the respective character's general article. (Ex: Ganondorf instead of Ganondorf (SSBM)) I searched around and I haven't found any discussion pertaining to this issue, so I figured I might bring it up here. Currently, on specific games' character articles, voice actors are only ever mentioned in trivia points regarding the voice actor itself, which are extremely uncommon. A problem that could potentially be brought up is that infoboxes would become too large, however, that doesn't really apply here. There is a ton of space available below these infoboxes that adding voice actors wouldn't really present a size issue.

tl;dr: Character article infoboxes are missing voice actors. We should add them. Pokebub (talk) 04:12, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Support Where the information is known I see no reason not to add it. That said, do different regions/languages have different voice actors? – Emmett 06:51, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
Some do. Mostly characters that have dialogue, like Sonic in Smash 4. VoqéoT 07:14, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
Absolutely! How is it nobody thought of this before? Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 07:28, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

Eh, weak support. It wouldn’t hurt anything, but I see no reason it needs to be. 72.133.91.93 08:02, 16 October 2018 (EDT) Blueflame105
