:To add, the whole point of this page is to have the '''old''' type charts, whilst the current type chart goes to the type page. Hence why Type chart redirects there and not here.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#F1912B">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#F6B775">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#5599CA">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#90BDDC">ire</span>]] 11:53, 17 September 2017 (UTC) | :To add, the whole point of this page is to have the '''old''' type charts, whilst the current type chart goes to the type page.

::There isn't actually any non-trivial discussion about this page in that thread either. Regardless, this new change (where [[Type/Type chart]] no longer documents all of the type charts) is incredibly counter-intuitive and unhelpful to readers. It's one thing to put the current type chart directly on the type page and have other type charts on a separate page; however, if that's the goal then this title should not be used (since any reasonable reader would expect to find all iterations of it on a page with such a title). Moreover, it really doesn't make sense to exclude the current type chart even if it's also displayed on another page—the page isn't so long as to make including another type chart unreasonable, and it only serves to improve the page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:31, 17 September 2017 (UTC) | ::There isn't actually any non-trivial discussion about this page in that thread either.

:::I definitely agree with SnorlaxMonster and Nescientist; the current state of affairs is incredibly unintuitive to anyone who isn't intimately familiar with this page's history and the staff intentions associated therein. Putting everything on [[type]] seems like the best solution to me, but I don't think even a show/hide button is necessary — after all, they've been removed where they previously hid form/Mega base stats and type effectiveness charts on species pages, and previous generations' type matchup charts on type pages have never to my knowledge been hidden. I think subsection headers are enough for the average user to understand what they're looking at.
