What do we do with Super Smash Bros?

[Superchao]

I agree with this, along with keeping item articles, though I don't see an issue with having pages on recurring bosses such as Master Hand and Crazy Hand.

I'm fine with keeping Master Hand and Crazy Hand as their own articles, it's mostly the one-time SSE bosses I'm thinking of merging.

 

[Duskull]

I agree with keeping Master and Crazy hand separate. I'm also happy to keep Master Core separate.

Also, I'm sorry if this has been brought up and I missed it, but has it been decided what we're doing with articles like Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl) or List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, because for the record I'm happy to keep them, or at least these specific examples.

I personally wouldn't have a problem with keeping those articles.

Also, how would this affect our coverage of companies (such as Sora Ltd.) and people (such as Pat Cashman) that are only relevant to the Wiki because of the Super Smash Bros. games?

• Fighters: Keep.
• Stages: Keep.
• Items: Keep.
• Enemies (Subspace, Smash Run, etc.): Merge.
• Bosses: Merge.
• Assist Trophies: Merge.
• Pokémon: Merge.
• Moves: Merge.

Also, I think outright DELETING Pokémon would be best.

I don't feel that we should completely delete Pokémon, as they are very similar to Assist Trophies, and I don't feel it would make sense to completely remove them just because they had nothing to do with Mario, when many items, Assist Trophies, and stages aren't from the Mario franchise either.

I agree with this.

We used to have pages for the voice actors of David Hayter and Pikachu, but they were deleted for being outside of the wiki's scope. With that in mind, Pat and Xander Mobus shouldn't have pages.

Late to the draw, but the proposal to settle what will be merged (MarioWiki:Proposals#Smash_Bros._Articles:_What_Stays_and_What_Goes.3F) is up! Be there or be square.

 

[Alex95]

I'm still undecided on the Pokemon and Assist Trophies, so like the last proposal, I'm going to remain neutral and just let whatever happens happen.

 

[Time Turner]

The proposal passed! This means that things are happening. Blocky and I plan to do plenty of work ourselves, but at the same time, the project is open to anyone who is fine with chipping in. To sum everything that will change:

• Merge the inconsequential bosses of Subspace Emissary (who, at the moment, include Duon, Galleom, Porky, Porky Statue, and Rayquaza) into a single page specifically for the bosses
• Merge the Adventure Mode (Talk:List_of_Adventure_Mode_enemies), Subspace Army (Category:Subspace Army), and Smash Run (Category:Smash Run Enemies) enemies into individual articles (one for each mode, of course)
• Merge Dark Emperor, Flying Man, Metal Face, and Yellow Devil into the respective stages that they appear in
• Merge the Assist Trophy Characters (Category:Assist Trophy Characters) to Assist Trophy - tackled by Reboot
• Merge the Poké Ball Pokémon (Category:Poké Ball Pokémon) to Pokémon - I'll tackle this
• Merge the character-unique Super Smash Bros. Series Moves (Category:Super Smash Bros. Series Moves) to their respective character(s) - Blocky called dibs on this one

To state the obvious, none of the Mario elements are being merged. This includes the special moves that are unique to Smash. To be honest, I think that getting the proposal off the ground was the hard part; now that we're past that hurdle, we just need to do the dirty work.

This isn't the end, though! There are still pockets of discussion to be had, such as with the Subspace Emissary Levels (Category:Subspace Emissary Levels) or Metal Luigi. Although our focus will be on what's already passed, it wouldn't hurt to get the ball rolling once more.

Time to say my bye-byes to Cook Kirby and Ultra Sword...

Whatever, I know that we are solely a Mario wiki, and there’s always Kirby Wiki to cover those two...

Merge the Assist Trophy Characters (Category:Assist Trophy Characters) to Assist Trophy

On the face of it, there's not too much "merging" to be done - the descriptions already on Assist Trophy seem adequate. The bigger question is about edge-case stuff like Midna - she's there primarily as an assist trophy, but she's also there on the Wolf Link Mystery Mushroom costume in Super Mario Maker (and the up-button sound effect is her giggle), Mr. Resetti (cameos in MK8 in place of a Monty Mole on the Animal Crossing track), the odd thing that's appeared in the likes of WarioWare (e.g., Nintendog), etc.

EDIT: Okay, done nearly all of it - someone else can do the majority of the relinking and check some of the borderline cases/etc. As I said in an edit summary, I'm having a "That was a featured article?" reaction to Assist Trophy characters, I presume it was featured *before* SSB4 came out and never revisited. Still needs work, IMO.
