Forum:Top-page quotes

I'm noticing a semi-recent pattern of quotes appearing at the top of articles.

Now, normally I would approve of it. I've seen similar patterns on other wikis, and it provides a bit of extra personality to the page. However, I think we should stop it.

The main reason is consistency. Simply put, there are not enough relevant quotes in the library of official material to cover enough pages to stop it from looking patchy or incomplete, especially outside the Brawl area. Toomai Glittershine The Riotous 20:33, 29 October 2011 (EDT)

There's a quote possible on every character page (SSBM and SSBB), every move, and a few stages and items. I think there's enough relevant quotes in the library of official material. Toast ltimatumComplaints Box 21:24, 29 October 2011 (EDT)

I don't see a possibility of things looking "incomplete". Even without the manual, there's still plenty of options for quotes; we've got the DOJO!! and trophy descriptions that can aid in adding quotes to the top of all pages, among other sources. Take Roy, for example. On the top of the page, there exists the possibility of merely using a line from his trophy: "While Roy's moves are well balanced, he's a little on the slow side, and doesn't excel at midair combat." Roy's special moves can also receive this treatment; on Flare Blade, for instance, another trophy quote can be added: "When it's fully charged, Roy's destructive Flare Blade delivers an instant KO.".

But, just my two cents. If there's significant opposition, I wouldn't implement this. ReiDemon 23:03, 29 October 2011 (EDT)
