{{Proposal outcome|passed|1-11-1-0|split by 500 entries}}
The loading time caused by the sheer amount of content on this page is absolutely infernal. It makes navigation extremely sluggish, which, needless to say, does a great disservice to readers. While the [[MarioWiki:Article size|article size policy]] is explicitly not applicable to lists, I propose we make an exception here and divide this page into smaller lists, each with a (near) equal number of entries, where the remaining 13 entries are included in the lattermost list. Specifically, I propose the page is split by either 250 entries (as the page is currenly sectioned, would improve accessibility on individual lists), or 500 entries (in order to prevent a large volume of individual lists).

As for the titles these smaller pages should have, I suggest going with "List of spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" followed by the relevant number range in brackets. E.g.: "List of spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (1001-1250)".

EDIT: {{User|LinkTheLefty}} suggested in the comments that the list be split between spirits from the base game and spirits that were added post-launch. Essentially, this means there would be a list with 1297 entries (ending at Risky Boots) and another with 216 (starting at Partner Pikachu)--a bit of a front-loaded arrangement, in my opinion, but I reckon it's still an obvious improvement over the current handling. I have added a new option with regard to this.

#{{User|Ray Trace}} I'd rather gut the nonMario related spirits entirely but sure. Even SmashWiki splits this up.

#{{User|OhoJeeOnFire}} Per all. This is the only logical choice.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all. I prefer splitting by 500 over 250, as I think it is best to have the fewest amount of individual lists possible, though I feel that splitting between base-game and post-release spirits would be too front-loaded and uneven. I am also not opposed to discussing potentially cutting some non-Mario related spirits in the future.

====Split between base game spirits and post-release spirits====
#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} - Maybe there can be a follow-up to divide base game content further if it is still too large, but I personally think keeping all of the post-release content within one article at least makes the most sense as a tangible cut-off point.

:::Seems sensible enough. I discussed your suggestion in the proposal and added a new option in accordance to it. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:03, March 16, 2022 (EDT)
Wait we have a comprehensive list on every spirit ever which also includes their Spirit battles????!? And I thought Mario Kart Tour's tables were nightmarish enough. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 23:21, March 16, 2022 (EDT)
You're going to have an "uneven" amount regardless of whether you count the original base-game (1297) or current post-release (1513) totals. Keep in mind that there's always the possibility of Nintendo commissioning a handful of more promotional spirits in the future. Another organizational kerfuffle is that the series representation is all over the place when you factor the post-release spirits (i.e. ''Pokémon'', ''Mario'', ''Zelda'', ''Fire Emblem'', ''Animal Crossing'', ''Final Fantasy'', ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', ''Metroid'', and ''Street Fighter'' spirits), whereas base-game spirits were neatly grouped together along with other spirits of their respective series. If you divide the spirit pages by 250 or 500, there are going to be even more awkward breaks between series than what was originally presented. Since the 500 entries option has overwhelming support, here's what I propose that would each be around or under that number: entries 1-406 as the first page (ends right before base ''Pokémon'' which would otherwise push the first article over 500), entries 407-863 (ends at ''Animal Crossing'' and wraps up the bulk of series representation up until ''Brawl''), entries 864-1297 (''Nintendo 3DS'' to current fighters), and entries 1298-present (the randomly-assorted, messy post-release period).

:Admittedly, my use of "uneven" was probably inaccurate, as I am fully aware that it is impossible for the lists to be truly even. My main issue with splitting it between base-game and post-release spirits is the fact that one page would still have over 1,000 entries, which I do not think would properly fix the length issue. However, I do understand the argument of related spirits being split up, so I would be willing to consider your proposal to fix that issue. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 18:21, March 17, 2022 (EDT)
:This could definitely work as a follow-up proposal, the crux of which builds upon the outcome of the one at present. My proposal, more than anything, is orientative towards a general quantum of entries on a page. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:49, March 18, 2022 (EDT)
== Reduce the list to only Mario-relevant spirits ==
Considering that the trophies list was cut down to just Mario-relevant trophies for each Smash game, do you think we should do the same for the spirits? [[Special:Contributions/104.28.79.136|104.28.79.136]]
:A point of contention is that the spirit fights, some of puppet fighters these .dds files represent include Mario characters (the Mole from Mole Mania using the green Mario puppet fighter for instance). We ''could'' restrict it to both spirits from the Mario series and the spirits whose fights use Mario and Mario-adjacent puppet fighters. {{User:Mario/sig}} 17:20, April 22, 2023 (EDT)
