Editing Category talk:Smashers

I was kind of wondering about the categorisation of smashers who aren't from the USA. It seems that, for example, the Dutch smashers are added to the categories 'Smashers', 'European Smashers' and 'Dutch Smashers'. Since Dutch Smashers is a category within European Smasher, which is on its own a category within 'Smashers' it seems pretty obvious that Dutch Smashers are also European Smasher and also Smashers. Shouldn't they be added to just that one category instead of all three of them? I don't think Wikipedia uses this system either. Is there an admin around who can clarify this for me? --[[User:Utto|Utto]] 22:06, March 30, 2007 (GMT)

: One reason is that while they are part of the subcategories, this doesn't exclude them from the other categories. For example, [[KoreanDJ]] is still a smasher, even though he's a pro. This helps because they are listed in all applicable categories. You're right in that it it's obvious, but that doesn't remove it's usefulness. -- [[User:Delphiki|Bean]] 23:46, March 30, 2007 (GMT)

:Category structure in wiki-based websites can get very complicated (just take a look at the top level of categories at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Categories Wikipedia]!) but it's less important to worry about redundant categories in individual articles than it is to worry about the actual categorization of ''categories''. Especially when it comes down to state-level sub-divisions like [[:Category:Wisconsin smashers]]. In that case, [[:Category:American smashers]] belongs to [[:Category:Smashers]], but [[:Category:Wisconsin smashers]] belongs only to [[:Category:American smashers]]. Otherwise, both the American smashers and Wisconsin smashers would be listed as sub-categories to [[:Category:Smashers]]. Which would obviously get needlessly complicated when two or three hundred political sub-divisions get thrown into the mix. --<font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 15:13, September 18, 2007 (EDT)

Smasher is not a name and should be lowercase. {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 20:28, May 3, 2007 (GMT)

:You're right, and that's going to take a lot of tedious work to fix on the European side, but I imagine I'll get around to it. I'm just trying to get the standards in place for other countries so it doesn't happen again, thus creating a larger problem. -- <font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|Randall00]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 15:30, July 19, 2007 (EDT)

Can anyone who plays Smash create an article about themselves and place it in the category 'Smashers'?
Also, of what purpose does the subcategory 'Female smashers' serve? It does not seem to have any use or relevance here.

== New Category: "[Character] mains" ==

I think there should be a new category for mains. For example, since [[Smasher:Shroomed|Shroomed]] mains Dr. Mario, it should be noted in the categories section that he is one of many or few '''Dr. Mario mains'''. We could also have a category for secondaries.

== Rearrange the order ==

I think that the order of the games on the template should be rearrangeable, so that it can show the player's level of prominence/how much they play the game. For example, {{Sm|Hungrybox}} is known as one of the best ''Melee'' players in the world, but he also plays ''Brawl'' less frequently at a lower level (He uses King Dedede and Jigglypuff in ''Brawl''). Therefore, his ''Brawl'' mains should be listed after his ''Melee'' and ''PM'' mains on the template.

:You mean having a customizable order for mains in {{t|smasherbeta}}? That would be...well I'm going to say infeasible. If I looked in-depth into it it might become feasible, but I doubt it would become more practical to use/convert.
