There's already a JFF page for Smash. This can't go there instead?

@MegaMarioMan: It's full of folders, though. I think it would be best to make it its own page.

The current JFF page has over 2,000 inbounds, so you'd be competing with that. Putting the information where fans expect it (i.e. the first JFF page) would probably be best. If the page gets so huge because of this new information, then it could probably be split, but at that point there'd be enough attention to that new information that fans would probably see it (or try to look for it).

@WaterBlap: Which is why I'll just add a link to JustForFun.Super Smash Bros Character Ideas at the top of the page.

^ I'm just saying that it'll probably get more attention (and therefore traffic) on the first page. Linking the pages internally was a pretty obvious option, but I don't think it'll be as successful if it's put on a new page.

@WaterBlap: So, I can start the section on the current page, and then if it gets too big/too cluttered, we split it, right?

^ I was referring to when the page gets so long it needs to be brought up in the too-long page repair thread. Not just subjectively really long. Really, I was talking about if it gets so many people adding so much stuff that the page gets the warning message that it's too big.
