{{Proposal|y|2=SmashWiki will cover P+ tournaments as well as the mod itself. P+ will get an article icon for use on tournament articles and relevant character articles. PM character articles will gain P+ content. An article will be created for Knuckles. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]]&nbsp;[[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 09:25, June 23, 2020 (EDT)}}
{{Proposal}}


Following the development of Project+, we find ourselves in need of answers for how we should handle it. There are a number of different methods we could go about doing this, and it is the aim of this proposal to cover all of it.

#While Project Plus is distinct from Project M in many ways, I have witnessed it become the de facto successor to Project M in my local scene and at the events I have traveled to since its inception. The netplay build of P+ 2.0 has reached [https://twitter.com/boikish/status/1247620649104879617 over 100,000 downloads] on the primary site alone, as one measurement of its popularity. While this is certainly not peak Project M notoriety, it still reinforces the idea that Project Plus is the new standard for much of the world. If Project M is worth covering, then I believe Project Plus has crossed that threshold as well. [[User:FlashingFire|FlashingFire]] ([[User talk:FlashingFire|talk]]) 22:02, April 9, 2020 (EDT)

#:Agreed. For context, it took a few years for Legacy XP (another fairly popular Brawl mod) to reach 100,000 BrawlVault downloads.

#Project+ is the new Project M, there's no ifs or buts about it.

#Sentiments I expressed in the past still apply here, I still don't care for PM/P+ and I will probably never touch P+, but until server space/costs become an actual issue or Nintendo C&Ds us I don't see any problem with covering it as long as there are users willing to do the work for those articles. We always been a community-centric wiki after all, so I wouldn't say it stretches our scope.

#I like Project M. [[User:Aidanzapunk/Project M Changes|I've had a lot of fun messing around with it]]. But I also feel like it's run its course. Things like P+ and PNX (especially the latter) only make it seem like the community can't give up Melee, which, surprise, is the running joke amongst the other portion of the fanbase that can. However, PM on its own has had a significant impact on the Smash community, and I honestly can't even think of another fighting game series that has a PM equivalent (unless we want to count something like MUGEN, which isn't really a mod of a series per se, but definitely takes a few pages from Street Fighter). If we're going to do anything with P+, it should be to mention it as an extension of PM (as in, within a section of the Project M article), and go about our day.

#:I feel like I should elaborate a little more. PM only has such prominence on the wiki because there was a time where it was being noticed and reported on by large news outlets as an impressive and unique feat, for example how IGN created one of their in-house wikis for it with the same degree of prominence as any other game. I do not believe any other mod, regardless of anything, should be considered for "article icon status" or such until it can at least match this level of "casual prominence". Of course, it is more than welcome to have its own page on the wiki much like any other popular mod, and I don't really see anything wrong with listing it on tournament pages (as long as no one tries to slide Knuckles into the wiki's head template or anything, display that manually if you have to).

As long as it's significant among the community, whatever is related to the Super Smash Bros series we cover it, reguardless if it's official or not.

::''"The largest PM tournament has more entrants than both the largest Brawl and Smash 64 tournaments", entirely irrelevant.''" No, it is completely relevant. The fact that PM was overshadowing Brawl in terms of competitive play was one of the reasons why we started having PM content in the first place. Completely disregarding any mention of P+ just because it's "not official" is a terrible reason to oppose.

:: I'd like to take a moment to address the argument that Mods shouldn't be covered because of the lack of Nintendo endorsement. Why is this even a factor when UCF and 20XX are also allowed? Is there a petition to remove those as well? If not then it's clear that significant and impactful mods are allowed on the wiki. In which case I propose a metric of the bare minimum amount of impactfulness. This can be done in a few ways, the number of downloads, tournament presence, or other subjective factors like the amount the title has penetrated the cultural zeitgeist. I think Project + will pass all of these tests and more. I think the debate should be where and how we place the articles, not whether they should be included.

#<s> I '''Support''' because numerous characters, stages, and other general stuff in P+, recieved buffs, nerfs, and patches including that nasty pm glitch in patch 3.6 and the inclusion of an echidna (you guess) will be mandatory to add update history, attributes, and changes from Project M in the separate section of the PM characters will be completely messy and require either a cleanup or split notification. Thats my opinion so far...

#'''I would like to clarify that I only believe this as a temporary measure'''. For now, P+ does not have enough popularity to warrant pages for every P+ character. And as per my concerns earlier about distinguishing PM and P+, making P+ an addendum onto the PM character pages will cause additional problems. If/when P+ reaches the same levels of popularity as PM, then we can reconsider, but for now this is the best option. I would also be open to a condensed page in the style of [[User:Miles of SmashWiki/PM condensing]] but with changelogs also noted as an intermediate measure, but that is outside the scope of this proposal.

#::Forgot to mention this in my response earlier, but if/when P+ reaches sufficient levels of recognition, I would then support option 2. Tacking P+ changes onto the PM article creates several problems which are resolved by giving them their own articles for their appearances in P+.

#'''Again this is only temparory''': In my opinion I believe we should wait until Project + reaches the same level of significance as PM before deciding on how characters work. It's too early to have each character have individual pages. If you ask me putting them in PM character pages would only work short term: should major changes be made to P+ characters, mixing them in the PM characters' pages would cause confision and problems long term, plus it would make it difficult for readers to find the characters' P+ exclusive versions. Should P+ reach that level then I'd vote on option 2 to distinguish it from PM, plus we have Knuckles in P+.

#I now '''support''' as shown above but only temporarily.

As of right now I feel as though we should wait to see if P+ makes significant changes to characters. Unless P+ completely "replaces" PM I don't think the first option will work. '''EDIT''': I meant second option, not first.
