Forum:Removal of Origin Game/Artwork from List of spirits pages
|
This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented. |
After attempting a proposal on this topic on the general proposals page, and after it was touched upon on an earlier proposal, I've decided to promote this into its own page.
The Origin Game/Artwork section originated as a way for sorting Spirits prior to how they were sorted in Ultimate was extensively known—in other words, speculation. Despite Origin Game/Artwork becoming obsolete by "Series" after launch, the earlier were kept while the latter was relegated to its own "Series Order" section in the "List of spirits (_ series)" pages. However, every other page that lists spirits, including character pages and Spirit Board events, sorts Spirits solely by their Series, with Origin Game/Artwork nowhere to be found. Even the Origin Game section itself is used inconsistently, with some lists like List of spirits (Pokémon series) and List of spirits (F-Zero series) relying on prose due to the superfluous and repetitive nature of listing artwork for these Spirits.
In short, removing the Origin Game sections on these pages would give us some benefits, including:
- Making the "List of spirits" pages consistent with other pages that list spirits;
- Removing the need of prose for pages with repetitive information;
- Leaving the separate "Series Order" section obsolete, since all information can be merged into the other tables where "Origin Game" currently is.

- The section's harmless; I don't see a real need for removal. Cookies

- My dumbass hit submit before finishing my thought. I don't think it's that harmful leaving the section in, especially since we don't have to follow what Smash does. Plus, it also helps identify where the image originates, so if you ask me removing it would probably do more harm than good. CookiesCreme 17:54, March 16, 2020 (EDT)
