So I was floating around Deviant Art and the ScrewAttack website when I noticed something that would make giving character information easier. See, people on those two websites would write analysises on characters and people could freely use those analysises if permission was asked (SMG4's Mario by ProffessorSodaMan and Peacock by ThorGundersen1058 ).

This got me thinking, what if we had entire analysis pages for people to freely use if they didn't want to really write a script? This would allow fights to come out quicker, allow a more accurate representation of the character, and allow research for a character to be more thorough and accurate. This leads to a few options on how to carry this through but each would cause a bit of changes.

Option 1: We keep these to blog posts. The problem with this is that when new information comes out about the character, we can't really update it until that person decides to. Plus there'd be different levels of bias coming from whoever made the blog post and who knows what kind of hell will break loose if the owner of the blog post leaves the wiki.

Option 2: We replace the old "Death Battle Info (Fanon)" with this. While this would allow for much more information being on the character's page, it would also cause the page to maybe be a bit more cluttered. Some character pages would take forever to add just because nobody really wants to spend the time writing this stuff out.

Option 3: Start up a new category and make all new pages for these. This is honestly the least flawed with the only flaws being that you'll have to link the analysis on the character page and that we'd need something to go at the beginning of the page title such as "Character Analysis:". The new pages should follow a sort of template, much like VS Battles Wiki's but with a version that goes a little bit more in-depth. Luckily for us,I already made a template for this and I'm perfectly fine with changing it to how mods desire.

So a quick summary of  what I just said: I'm proposing a new idea for possible character page changes or starting a new set a character pages. This'll allow for more information on the character to be available and allow other's to understand a character they are not familiar with better. There is a template that is already made and is flexible to how mods want it to be changed. This should open up to a lot more accurate Death Battles and allow people from other sites to give the wiki more attention when they want to learn about a character.

Should we incorporate this new set of character pages? Yes No What would be the best option? Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 We need a different option Should we allow people to use these pages as research instead of writing a script about the characters? (Note: They will still have to write the battle and why a character wins.) Yes No
