Change the design of Species infoboxes
So, I've been checking out some other NIWA wikis an I noticed that many of them have more informative and organized species templates than this wiki's. I thought of this design that, besides separating the informations by type, it also avoids irregularity.

Just some notes. In the draft I linked above, the right one is for species that appear as enemies and don't live in a single land (like Goombas and Pokeys). The left one is for other species (mostly friendly NPCs) that are shown to be a population of one or more determined areas (like the Flip-Flop Folk and Pi'illos). In this infobox, the headers would not show up if there is not any info under them. I'm also trying to come up with a better word than Location. If anyone's got any ideas, we can change it if the proposal passes.

Change it

 * 1) - Per my proposal.

Comments
Infoboxes in general could probably benefit from some work: making blank sections not show up would be a plus, but I think our current row-by-row approach is good (it just needs to be set-up so that the rows always alternate colours, but if it can be done for nav templates, I'm sure infoboxes can be automated like that too). Having sub-headers just adds unnecessary area (extra lines, and more blank space), and the location stuff seems more like speculating or otherwise interpreting the info, rather than just presenting hard facts at a glance. The "related" and "subspecies" also shouldn't be collapsed by default, I think, since having long lists that need collapsing is the exception, not the rule. -

Merge 9-Volt and 18-Volt
So, first of all: These two guys from yhe WarioWare series should be considered as only one charactwr, and have only one page for they, much like it does in Kat and Ana, Me and Red, Dribble and Spitz... Considering that 18-Volt's page is little, I think that this should be merged with 9-Volt.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.

Oppose

 * 1) I feel that 18-Volt has more that can be said about him. More of 18-Volt's personality has been shown. Now I've only played 2 WarioWare games and I've seen more about both Red and 18-Volt than I have about Spitz in total, but even with the one game I've played that 18-Volt has been in, I still see he's shown more about himself. Plus his article isn't that short, pretty big if you ask me.
 * 2) Red is practically always seen with you, whereas 18-Volt is a bit like Wario in the sense of characters.
 * 3) Per Tails and Nin.
 * 4) 18 Volt's not particularly short for a WarioWare character page so I have no idea why you.re saying that. Anyway, 9-Volt and 18-Volt aren't an ensemble the way Ashley & red or Kat & Ana are; they're shown acting separately plenty of time (most notably D.I.Y and D.I.Y Showcase where the two have separate stages).
 * 5) - Per all.
 * 6) - Per standard procedure. As was mentioned in the comments, this should be a TTP.
 * 7) - Per Glowsquid.
 * 8) Per all.

Comments
This should be a TTP on 18-Volt's page.
