Tada! Yet another Walkazo Template Proposal. As I said on the Fire talk page, too many things use fire (or ice) for these templates to be practical. Instead, a template only including things made of fire/ice or irrefutably linked to fire/ice would be an asset to navigation. If you've got any issues with the changes I've made, feel free to say so here (in the Fire and Ice Comments section), and if you've got a strong enough case I'll make the change.

Fire

First up is the current Fire Template (minus the Show/Hide feature):

And my updated version (which won't have the show/hide feature at all, since it's not really big enough to merit one, in my humble opinion):

So I took out Bowser and the Koopalings, since there's more to them than fire; and species of things like Piranha Plants that spit fireballs or whatever, since even though fire is their central aspect, first and foremost, they're plants (or Hammer Bros., or Sphynxes, etc.). However I left in Lava Piranha since it lioves in lava and its substituates have incendiary aspects; I left in Fire Chomp because of its firey tail; and I left in Pyro Guy because he's a Shy Guy who's lit on fire. I also removed the border and changed the background colour so it'd match with Ice.

Ice

As it is now (it doesn't have the show/hide feature at all):

And my version:

I got rid of much less here: like with Fire, things that just use fire like Beldam; species that simply live with ice like Topi and Penguin. Since Jojora and Blizzaurus are sorta ice fairies I decided to leave them; I also left Jojora's Friends because they can turn themselves into snowballs. Yes, I know Wario can become a snowball and a fireball, but those are purely superficial transformations: underneath it all, it's still Wario, and unlike Jojora's friends he's not a one-trick poney, and these forms are two of many, not half his existance.

Soler's Idea

Okay, so Soler proposed a split template, which I think is brilliant because it still provides the organization I want, and doesn't lose any of the information that's on the current template. I've refined his Fire template seen on the Proposals page (see above link) and made of for ice.

I added Bumpties since they're Ice-Related too.
