[edit] Italics in titles discussion

There is currently a discussion re: italics in titles at Wikipedia_talk:Manual of Style (titles)#Italic_in_templates. Anyone with an interest in this should participate in the discussion there. Thanks! —Locke Cole (talk) (e-mail) 06:48, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Individual Links For NPCs

I added individual links for each NPC, each leading to their corresponding section in the NPC article. I hope no one objects. RememberMe? 01:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I object. Why not just link to the list of NPCs once? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:05, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Because with this you can find the specific NPC you want. RememberMe? 03:51, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Why is it necessary thata user be able to be one click away from every single minor SSB character from every single SSB character article? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of characters

All of these characters are not exclusive to SSB (unlike MK or Tekken), so why are they all listed here? [1] I can see having the NPCs, as they are exclusive to SSB, but not the other ones. This also adds more navbox cruft - Mario and Wario now have four boxes (games, characters), one of which is this SSB box. I suggest removal but would like to get some other opinions.

The point of a game series template is to link all crucial information on the series. Because Nintendo's characters are one of the focuses of SSB, they need to be linked together. Sure, there's a whole whack of Mario boxes - which is unavoidable, considering the alternative is a huge megabox - but keeping the chars in the SSB box is a no-brainer for me.

[edit] SSB

The original Smash Brothers Game on the template shouldn't be called "Smash". Even though it's in the title, "Smash" is in all of the titles. I think sticking with "64" made more sense. --myselfalso 15:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

64 is not in the title though. Wikipedia can't invent new names for these games. Shortening the title is acceptable, but inventing a new name for it isn't. Besides, I"ve never heard anybody call it "SSB64" - it's always SSB and SSBM and SSBB. Hbdragon88 21:27, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of 3 links

I removed the links to the NPC, NPS, and Characters articles. The NPS article is completely pointless, and the NPC and Character articles are redundant (the Super Smash Bros. (series) article documents playable and non-playable characters well enough). Comrade Pajitnov 15:54, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Why is a soundtrack still there if it's now labelled "video games"? 199.126.137.209 01:00, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Separate "Smashing... Live!"

It shouldn't be on the same lines as the games as it really isn't a game, yo. I've done this twice now. --Comrade Kesha 22:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
