Template talk:Character/Species-infobox

Do we really need this?

I really don't see the point in using this infobox. In its current state, it's the species infobox with a different color, portrayal perimeters, and full name and species perimeters (which are useless since it's specifically intended for characters not distinguished from their main species). Apparently no one else knows how this should be used since it's been sitting here for over half a year and hasn't been used on any articles. I think we're better off scrapping this template, using the species infobox when applicable, and also adding portrayals sections to the main species infobox. If there's no opposition, I'll probably start a TPP to delete this soon. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 12:36, April 9, 2021 (EDT)

If it's not being used anywhere, why keep it? Nightwicked Bowser 13:15, April 9, 2021 (EDT)

For what it's worth, here's the original proposal that led to its creation. Can't say I agree with it though, the character infobox doesn't really have much that the species infobox doesn't, portrayal is the only one that would be relevant, which really should be added to the species infobox regardless of whether or not anything happens with this. (Yes I'm aware I originally voted for this) -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 14:37, April 9, 2021 (EDT)

It's primarily because in some instances they are treated as actual characters so using species alone would look odd. I haven't really gotten around to implementing it because I've been busy with school and building up the Triforce Wiki. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:04, April 9, 2021 (EDT)
