A quick and dirty amendment to the January-February 2023 Smash proposal
I've just realised I done brain farted in this proposal, completely changing what I wanted to get at, and yet the error somehow went under the radar. The error in question is in this statement: "if a character has had a significant appearance within the Mario franchise proper, such as having a playable role in Mario Kart--and this includes actual Mario characters--their page will remain intact." The bolded part was really only supposed to apply to characters who originated from the Mario franchise. Otherwise, it's in direct contradiction with the proposal's goal to indiscriminately trim and/or re-incorporate moveset lists for all non-Mario characters, regardless if they're still supposed to have a full page on this wiki or not. To reiterate, this is because they're hardly Mario-related concepts and can be neatly summarised in a character's entry for a given Smash appearance if they aren't already.

So with this proposal, I aim to clarify the statement as the following: if a character has had a significant appearance within the Mario franchise proper, such as having a playable role in Mario Kart--and this obviously includes actual Mario characters--they will still have a page of their own. However, if they're not characters from a franchise that receives full coverage on this wiki, their lists of moves in the Super Smash Bros. series will still be trimmed away.

If this proposal passes, a link to this proposal will be added as a footnote in the quoted proposal's main body, though without directly altering the original statement.

Support

 * 1) I apologise and I hope this won't reflect too harshly on my dilligence and reasoning.
 * 2) It's good to keep our focus on the series this wiki is meant to cover. Someone should really revise how we handle crossovers.
 * 3) - Makes sense. If they already have a substantial presence in Mario stuff via crossovers, it seems only fair.
 * 4) For consistency's sake, per all.
 * 5) Per all.

Comments
Will we also be axing stuff like the Classic Mode routes? Palutena's Guidance texts? I'm not entirely sure where to draw the line, but I think there are other things besides the move lists on these articles that are fully the Smash wiki's territory. Ahemtoday (talk) 20:32, March 19, 2023 (EDT)
 * As far as these fighters pages are concerned, the previous proposal answers your question: Classic Mode routes are moved over to these pages as these may involve Mario characters and music, while Palutena's texts, as with other information of the "profiles and statistics" type, aren't. 21:17, March 19, 2023 (EDT)
