Speysider wrote: I agree with Seel, why not just make a big list of all their techniques, instead of creating tons of tiny articles ? It would be much easier imo, although I suspect the reason is that you can't use SMW to list those techniques if they're like that. Subpages-by-game would not be "tiny" as they would consistently be of a certain length. Contrast that with subpages-by-character, which could either be very, very long as in Naruto's case, or have very little content, as in Mifune's case.

I also disagree there would be a "ton" of articles; there would be 58, one for each game. Storm 3 alone has 65 playable characters, which is more than 58.

Omnibender wrote: For SMW purposes, would it be possible for a redirect with the technique's name to retain the infobox? The redirect would point to the central page (be it game or character) centric, and the infobox part would still retain semantic info. I elaborated on my understanding of how that would work in the previous discussion. Basically, they would need to be soft redirects. That may or may not be acceptable, depending on your opinion of soft redirects.

Omnibender wrote: Another overlap issue that I came across with is jutsu that are used by multiple characters. For example Water Release: Water Shield and Water Release: Drizzle. I imagine those would be treated the same as other occurrences of overlap. Use by more than one character might even be grounds for upgrade-to-article, which would make its multiple users more apparent.
