#This allows for P+ events to be noted separately from PM events (which will become more relevant over time as the P+ meta evolves and becomes even more different from the PM meta), and also allows us to keep better track of the popularity of P+ in case it ever reaches high enough levels that we need to increase the amount of content included.

#I've already seen several tournaments transition to P+, and I believe it's inevitable that other tournaments will follow suit, and sooner or later most Project M majors would be using it. Looking ahead, Smash 'N' Splash 6 is using Project+ (labeled as Project M+), and said tournament series generally holds the largest PM tournaments of all time (SnS 5 having almost 400 entrants), so we're gonna have to add some form of P+ sooner or later.

#Most of the Project M scene is already moving over to Project Plus, and it would be extremely useful to have a wiki page that allows people to easily learn what this version is, how it differs, and which builds upon the existing PM pages to provide useful information. I'm aware that there was/is another discussion about PM's place on this wiki at all, but given that the game is still hosted here and has regularly updated content here for top players and events, IMO it makes sense to at least do that correctly by reflecting the current version of the game being played. - Tscsabre <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Tscsabre|Tscsabre]] ([[User talk:Tscsabre|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tscsabre|contribs]]) 20:05, April 9, 2020 (EDT)</small> | #Most of the Project M scene is already moving over to Project Plus, and it would be extremely useful to have a wiki page that allows people to easily learn what this version is, how it differs, and which builds upon the existing PM pages to provide useful information.

#I personally do not care much for mods. They're great fun, but they aren't official content. That said, Project M has had an impact on the Smash community, and I think the community is just as important as the games themselves. I'm not too sure about P+'s impact, but as it is a continuation of Project M, I see no reason to not include it, either. This is a fine line that is being walked on, however. As I already said, mods are not official content<s>, so making one an exception could lead to more exceptions. But we also have [[Brawl-]] and not Super Smash Bros. Crusade, so *shrug*</s> Never mind, there's apparently [[Template:SSBMods|a large number of mods being covered]], but my thoughts still stand.

The SmashWiki is an outlier among Nintendo Wikis because for some reason a significant portion of the community is ok with being completely inconsistent with regards to what we do and don't cover, and hence we end up turning a blind eye to excessive amounts of content on mods (which incidentally always ends up becoming outdated and inaccurate because most of the editors aren't willing to contribute to them, which is in part due to the fact that on some level they realize that these articles don't belong here).

There are a large number of people who would disagree with the notion that PM isn't a smash game. It technically isn't from the perspective that Nintendo did not publish it, but in this case the fact that the fanbase would agree that it is a part of the series overrides that. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;border:outset #083 2px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;background:#ed0;padding:1px">Serpent</span>]][[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;background:#083;padding:1px">King</span>]]'''</span> 19:33, April 9, 2020 (EDT) | There are a large number of people who would disagree with the notion that PM isn't a smash game.
