#:::::You certainly are getting a lot of mileage out of that one reddit thread. But regardless, it's generally easier to remove opinions from pages than it is to add actually useful information, and there are many IPs who are willing to do both, so I don't really find this very convincing.

#::::::Whether or not it's repeatedly used in an argument doesn't change the validity of it. And it becomes a problem when, in regards to moving opinions, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Cloud_(SSBU)&curid=83085&action=history the same person keeps fighting back] and will not go away. It is counterproductive for the wiki to continuously remove falsehoods when something, such as this, could easily be done to prevent it from happening in the first place.

#'''Strong oppose'''. Cutting off IPs from editing could be incredibly counterproductive, because while many IPs are assholes and regularly vandalize the site there is a large amount of IPs that actually provide beneficial edits and like Alex said, some people may be incapable of creating account for one reason or another and cutting them off simply because other people are pricks could discourage them from helping SmashWiki grow. Obviously, people will be people and continue to vandalize the site but character articles are quite popular pages and people add helpful information to them basically every day. More people being open to edit prominent pages like these is in the spirit of the wiki and there must be a better way to consistently deal with the vandals. I'm sure our userbase is competent enough to find a better solution, one of which has already been proposed.
