Forum:Character infoboxes: new segments

Hello guys, if this is the wrong place, or has been discussed before, please feel free to delete this (sry, but I'm new).

I have a question regarding a couple of changes to character infoboxes that I thought about, if they'd be worth considering.

For one, I feel like a segment for "race" would be applicable (preceding other physical descriptors i.e. height/blood type/age), seeing as in 99% of cases, it is easily inferrable for characters and can be pretty useful to have in easy sight by including it in the infoboxes. Especially since race is a pretty prominent and, often, extremely character-defining concept in One Piece (especially in light of how many races/tribes there are at this point, and even "sub-tribes").

I could see how this may be more disputed for certain characters where people may agree the race is hard to factually state going by what is known (i.e. Kaido), but in those cases the segment could easily be left empty right? (Or left with "Unknown")?

Also, I feel like maybe an "ability section" might be worth replacing the current "Devil Fruit" section for the characters (and the Devil Fruit info becoming a subsection thereof). As far as I can tell, the Devil Fruit section has been decided on well before Haki ever became prominent in the series, but by the current state of affairs in the story I feel like an "ability section" might be a lot more informative. So it could go something like this (sorry for the layout):

Abilities

Devil Fruit    Example Example no Mi (Paramecia)          < possibly with the English name in brackets?

Haki            Busoshoku Haki; Kenbunshoku Haki

(And perhaps a weapons/possessions segment to go with it as well?)

I also think this because the current Devil Fruit sections seems too big imo (this I feel is most apparent on Blackbeard's page, whose Devil Fruit section is DOUBLED instead of noting both his powers in a single section). I don't think you need two segments to state the original Japanese AND the English name in the infobox that serves to introduce a character, and then also have yet another segment just for saying that, for example, the "Ito" in "Ito Ito no Mi" means "thread".

What are your thoughts? Karama20 (talk) 16:16, September 22, 2020 (UTC)

A race segment may indeed be warranted. However, the Devil Fruit section should remain as it is. Devil Fruits are unique attributes and deserves proper emphasis. Haki isn't as exclusive - it would just be a checkbox for three possible variants. I don't think it's necessary in the infobox. Weapons/possessions is a definite no, that's way too unrestricted and would just bring clutter. 21:47, September 22, 2020 (UTC)

Race in an infobox would just cause edit wars. They are already bad enough with the categories. SeaTerror (talk) 21:57, September 22, 2020 (UTC)
