It sounds fine but Would characters that can transform into other characters be included in that category? There's also the fact that sometimes he main charactes end up being extra bosses whether it's in an extra mode or a sequel, would they be included as well?

What do you mean with transforming into other characters? And don't see why they shouldn't be included. A boss is still a boss, even if they are playable characters as well. Being a boss doesn't necessarily mean they are an antagonist in game's narrative.

By that I mean someone like Shang Tsung, someone who can fight on their own but still transforms into other characters in ame, would that be considered a boss encounter for the other character?

I'd guess not, seeing as those characters are merely imitate and not the boss themself.

I have a couple suggestions :P My first is sections like Zombies and Ghosts (Maybe Skeletons? These might be too similar too zombies though). I feel like Undead Characters is a good term, but I feel like theres a great enough difference between characters like Napstablook and Sans, or King Boo and Dry Bones. I also think hackers should be a new category, because its a popular character type in many forms of media. I can already think of a couple characters on the wiki who would fit into this (IE Sombra or Rouge) I also have a question. For the nationalities categories, are those like series where we can create a new one, or should we just generalize most of them. (Such as many of the African countries being called Africans, or many of the Latin-America countries being called Latinos.)

Ghosts are mostly included in the category, so I don't think they need a unique category. A "Hackers" category is alright by me. I don't know about the nationalities category, there aren't any set rules for them. I am personally not a fan of them, at all, and think they should either be replaced or removed entirely.
