 * This can be considered a continuation of Forum:Video game jutsu overhaul.

I'd still like to see resolution about this topic. To summarize as best I can:


 * The wiki's current practice is to make an article for every uniquely-named button sequence that appears in a video game.
 * One problem is that there are literally thousands of video game jutsu, which would mean creating thousands of different articles.
 * This seems like a bad approach: video game jutsu are extremely marginalized on the wiki, to the point they are almost impossible to find. You can hope that they're listed in the respective video game's article, but that will only be true for the first game they appear in; if you don't know which game that is, you might as well give up.
 * Therefore, why flood the wiki with jutsu that cannot be found?
 * My proposal was to group all video game jutsu by game into a subpage. The same information can be found that is in the individual articles (theoretically) and new, video game-specific information can be provided (theoretically).
 * This allows all of a character's jutsu to be grouped together, all of a single game's jutsu to be grouped together, thus making things easier for readers to find and make sense of.
 * I made a sample of a jutsu subpage here. Yagura is the only one I filled out beyond the initial GameFAQs copy.
 * Video game jutsu could still be "upgraded" to their own articles once they satisfy certain requirements (certain number of appearances, based on a previously-unnamed animanga jutsu, etc.)

There were other caveats brought up in the previous discussion, but I think I've touched all the main points.

Thoughts?
