This was a subject that came up in the [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 51#Smash Bros. Articles: What Stays and What Goes?|Smash Bros. Articles: What Stays and What Goes? proposal]] (I was waiting for the full Switch SSB(U) announcement to discuss this and Meta-Ridley - since MR appears to be a skin or attack of playable Ridley, I'll wait for a bit more detail on that) - given that we consciously decided to [[MarioWiki:Coverage#Super Smash Bros. series|limit our SSB coverage to less than full Mario games]] as part of that proposal, which includes folding most of the Subspace Emissary into pages of wider scope (e.g., merging all the one-shot enemies on [[Subspace Army]] to that page), it feels incongruous to have this page split off from [[R.O.B.]]: | This was a subject that came up in the [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 51#Smash Bros.

*R.O.B./The Ancient Minister isn't a Mario series character (he doesn't use the Super Mushroom emblem | *R.O.B./The Ancient Minister isn't a Mario series character (he doesn't use the Super Mushroom emblem), so we have no need to document all his forms, moves, etc on their own pages (the proposal was largely about ''avoiding'' doing so for every character who happened to appear in a Smash game. If it had been Toad under the hood, it would be a different matter.) | ||
*Nor is it an entirely unique character, like [[Tabuu]] - while story relevance might support keeping it separate from a "List of..." page, we have a [[R.O.B.]] page. It's the same character, in the same story (in a non-playable form that has not and - outside the odd background reference or trophy - is never likely to appear elsewhere) to the point you have to jump from one page to the other to follow his part at the moment | *Nor is it an entirely unique character, like [[Tabuu]] - while story relevance might support keeping it separate from a "List of..." page, we have a [[R.O.B.]] page.

*Finally, we don't concern ourselves with spoilers, especially not for a decade-old game. While it's a big reveal that the Ancient Minister is "the" R.O.B., that is not itself a reason to avoid merging the pages. | *Finally, we don't concern ourselves with spoilers, especially not for a decade-old game.
