In fact, the reason why we were allowed to have an article on Donkey Kong sooner than Bowser Jr. was because Brawl was counted. With the current number of confirmed characters, it is going to be a short list. I want individual pages. If they made two playable appearances with Sonic, they can have articles. That's the rule. And if a character has the same name as an article we have, for example Link is a bond of Gizoids, and there is an Archie Sonic character named Kirby, we name them Link (Super Smash Bros.) and Kirby (Super Smash Bros.). Other characters that has names not in common with any Sonic character, such as Pikachu will be named as they are until Sega creates a character with a similar name. So here is how the characters are going to be set up, they will start with a normal character infobox, with the character's artwork from Super Smash Bros. 4, a brief description at the top saying " is a Nintendo character who appeared Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U representing the series." There will be a background section which will talk briefly about the character, just enough for a reader to know about the character, but will NOT detail the history of his/her games. Then there will be a Super Smash Bros. Brawl section about his/her special moves and related trophies and stickers. Then a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS section with a Silver future template like Psyche suggested. Then some trivia relating the character to Sonic, then Brawl quotes, then a gallery with the character's promotional artwork and screenshots. The screenshots will have to include Sonic fighting the character, or the fight taking place on Green Hill or Windy Hill Zone. Pikachu fighting Mario one-on-one on Battlefield will not be a good pic for here. If Sonic was somewhere in the picture, it would be okay. If Pikachu was fighting Mario on Green Hill Zone, it would be okay. If Pikachu was fighting Sonic on Green Hill Zone, that will be a good picture for the gallery. After the gallery, there will be external links to the appropriate NIWA wiki, and SSBB/SSB4 subpages on Smash Wiki. And then the Non-Sonic character template. The Mario character section has changed to the Nintendo character section because all Mario characters are Nintendo characters with some appearing in both Mario & Sonic series and Super Smash Bros. and not all Smash Bros characters are Mario characters, but all of the veterans besides Sonic are from Nintendo. The only other possible third-party veteran is Solid Snake, so if Snake ever gets confirmed, he would be put in the Other character section of the template.

Well it's a given that Mario characters will their own articles because of the Olympic Games. But the other characters don't really have much to do the Sonic series. Zelda Wiki has a [Characters in Super Smash Bros. (Series) list of characters] from Smash Bros. instead of having an article for every character. Of course, I acknowledge that this isn't Zelda Wiki and obviously the guidelines aren't the same here. It's a suggestion though, I don't mind either way if they have an article or not.
