#If a character is present as a mechanic in a stage, such as a boss or a hazard, then they should get a page. Minor background cameos should not get pages.

#If a character is present as a mechanic in a mode, such as an enemy in the single-player modes like [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace]] or [[Smash Run]], or as an assistant in [[Smash Tour]], then they should get a page.

#If a character makes an appearance as a Mii Fighter costume, then they should get a page, as the costumes fall under the "[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/well-yes-but-actually-no playable but actually not playable]" archetype, given their special treatment in Direct and non-Direct presentations.

#Other characters that appear as trophies, stickers, spirits, and any other unlisted cameo do not get special character pages, though if they appear multiple times throughout the series, then they are viable to get a disambiguation page that links to the character's series' trophy, sticker, and/or spirit list(s), along with, should they appear as a stage cameo, a link to the stage they cameo in.

#:As a side note, if they don't have a full page (as in, just a disambiguation page), then [[Template:Background characters|this template]] should link to their interwiki pages, rather than the disambiguation page.

:::If so, whether the [[Toad]] has a page or not depends on how we deal with the move characters.--[[User:Capstalker|Capstalker]] ([[User talk:Capstalker|talk]]) 04:35, July 30, 2019 (EDT)

::::If Toad did not receive his own page, I know it would still cover his cameos in trophies, stickers, and spirits (all of which would be moved to the character page), but would his appearances in Melee’s Adventure Mode and as a Mii costume be covered? It doesn’t seem like those two appearances would make sense to be covered on a move page. Toad is part of the move set of Peach, and now Daisy, so he falls under number 2 of the proposed rules, which means he would keep his page.

:::::(Responding to both this section and the one before it)

:::::Beat's origin, as well as the Tornado Hold, is also (currently) covered under the Rush Coil page, since it's the same move, just with a different character (or ability, in Tornado Hold's case). I also vehemently oppose duplicate information, when it's completely unnecessary. F.L.U.D.D., for example, has ''no'' reason'' to need two pages, when one covers it just fine. However, an easy solution (that I have used elsewhere) is to have a character page that simultaneously serves as the special moves page - as in, it looks like a character page, with the same infobox, but it links to (or, if the move is differently named, is made to look like it links to) the special moves template.

:::::Also, I meant to include Mii costumes in my list of characters that get pages from the beginning. The list has now been updated.
