Is the Wedding and Builder Outfits necessary to include? Should we include Ultimate Link's traditional outfit?

I personally feel likes Alts are a step too far.
It's cool that we have their official art from each game to an extent. I don't think we need all of their costumes. makes the page heavier than it needs to be.
you can get that from ssbwiki.
Pages really don't get heavier from images. At worst, they get like 1 extra KB from one. They do add more vertical length, but it's usually not enough to outweigh the example list.
As for whether alternate costumes should be included on these pages? I think that alternate costumes can be notable, but only if the character would really have a noticeable difference, not just in color. For example, if someone added the light blue overalls and hat and purple shirt for Mario, I think that would be excessive, since it only changes the palette. However, the Builder and Wedding outfits not only do alter Mario's coloring, they also make his hat and clothes shaped differently. You'd see a difference even if you only see the silhouette.
To be honest, many Smash fighter pages have costumes that some may contain objectionable (Meta Ridley comes to mind), but I think that some, but not all, alternate costumes could be added, since they don't really increase page length and we have plenty of it left since the big split. So yes, I think we may include stuff like Link's traditional outfit/Tunic of the Wild or Pikachu Libre.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)
Okay, I have to ask: which characters have enough tropes to fit their own pages?
