CharacterSheet

From Sega Retro

I'm not a particularly big fan of "character" pages - they're a holdover from Sonic Retro, and when we're not dealing with a single series of games, it opens the door for 48023489028948 pages on characters that may have only appeared in a couple of games. Also it's unlikely that ages or heights or whatever are going to be consistent between games.

I think the Character template (e.g. List of Puyo Puyo characters) is a better compromise. Alternatively keep details specific to a game on the game's page.

I want to declare this template deprecated and remove/redirect all pages that use it. Any objections? -Black Squirrel (talk) 11:00, 17 June 2017 (CDT)

That was the plan. I also avoided adding any in-universe info for the reason you mentioned, and because I think it would be frivolous. - Hivebrain (talk) 14:54, 18 June 2017 (CDT)
I think the character pages should only exist so far as characters being in spin-offs/other games. For example, Akira is in Dead or Alive 5, if someone wanted to look up info on him they wouldn't be searching for Virtua fighter per se, just the character. Another example is Bayonneta is in Smash Bros. so I think she needs a character page, however Jeanne has never been in anything but Bayonetta so there doesn't need to be a character page for her. That and Sonic Retro links to these character pages for situations like Sonic & All-Stars racing. JaxTH (talk) 01:04, 19 June 2017 (CDT)
