Talk:Characters of the Mortal Kombat series

message: Kung Jin never was the first homosexual character in Mortal Kombat Mithology. In the games, yes, but in MK Serie no. Maybe you should do a better research.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.104.215.248 (talk) 21:52, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Kung Jin

message: After discussion with another contributor, I have updated the character appearance chart in order to trim away excessive boxes. MK3 and UMK3 are now one section, likewise with MK4 and MK Gold, since the latter two in each are merely updates whose presence on the chart was redundant, the difference being just a few returning characters. The notes section has been updated to reflect this change, with the unnecessary "accidentally introduced" category additionally removed and numbers for some existing cats shuffled around as a result. sixtynine • speak up • 01:44, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Character chart update

message: The character table seems to be taking a lot of undue weight. However, most of the characters just made few appearances like Taven and his brother (Armageddon) and Shujinko (Deception, Armageddon and a cameo in X). Wouldn't be easier to explain the characters' appearances in their own sections in prose rather than relying on such a big table? Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 16:16, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

message: This feature of article descriptions, right under the title, is still quite new and most pages in Wikipedia at large seem to lack such additions so far. Despite the fact that Wikipedia prompts you occasionally into writing them. Given that the max cap of letters for said descriptions is 250, would it then be reasonable for us to write more comprehensive coverage on the article already into the description? Like, does it harm anyone? Hopefully we can have some discussion! ToniTurunen (talk) 09:00, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

message: These merges are way out of depth for someone who is not familiar with either a) maintaining lists of characters, or b) Mortal Kombat. Hopefully someone who participated in the AFDs could assist, but as it stands, the merge I was planning for Baraka (Mortal Kombat) just covered the lead and maybe one sentence from development. That's not enough when comparing to the rest of the list. There's a lot of these to get through, and with an unknown and variable amount of detail that crosses over into excessive quite easily, I'd rather do it right the first time.

message: Can we have a Character Table like Super Smash bros (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_in_the_Super_Smash_Bros._series#Playable_characters) for this article? This table can be put at top and be simplified to only contain playable characters. We can have one table for Timeline 1 and then second for Timeline 2 since we got a reboot from MK 2011. Thoughts? --Shoxee1214 (talk) 08:39, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There are THREE tables, all of which add unnecessary clutter to the article. We had just one before and it was removed before for that reason. It’s now worse especially with NRS’ hard-on for repeatedly rebooting the series. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 02:39, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

 Secret playable character.
 Playable as Noob-Smoke.
 Noob-Smoke are considered 1 character since they are a joint team.
:There are THREE tables, all of which add unnecessary clutter to the article. We had just one before and it was removed before for that reason. It’s now worse especially with NRS’ hard-on for repeatedly rebooting the series. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 02:39, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

message: I know everyone’s racing to be the first to add new material from MK1 now that the game is out, but keep in mind that such content must include a viable source. Otherwise it’s original research. Also keep it as short and sweet as possible to avoid WP:FANCRUFT territory. Thanks and happy editing. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 22:51, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
