{{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. 

P+ is the spiritual successor to PM, though unofficially it seems to aim to finish what the PMDT couldn't. It's the result of years of PM’s modding and competitive scenes. P+ was made by community leaders, top players, and established modders. It features updated balance, stages, songs, and costumes, and it's built on top of the Legacy TE version of PM. You can find out more at [http://projectplusgame.com the Project Plus homepage]. 

Most of the competitive scene has been running P+ in competitive events since its initial release early last year. Since then every major region including US, Canada, South America, and Japan have switched to P+. Though there are a few notable exceptions to this: in some parts of Europe like the Netherlands there are thriving PM 3.6 scenes.  However for just about everywhere else, P+ is the tournament standard. P+ 1.05b has had 3 majors run on it {{trn|The Encore}}, {{trn|Blacklisted}}, and {{trn|Low Tier City 7}}. Every major going forward would run version 2.0, though Coronavirus has postponed it. A 200 man netplay bracket featuring most of pmrank and several top 20 melee players had already happened. Since 2.0s initial release its gotten play and video coverage from players like Leffen, Mang0, Plup, PPMD, Zain, Junebug and more. For the majority of the world its the final version of PM. <br>

This discussion will last for a decent amount of time in order to give everyone a voice here, this is to appeal to the Smash community at large, not just SmashWiki editors or the Project M/+ community. So to begin:

==Part 1: Do we cover this at all?==
If this section gets support, the following will occur:
*Project + will get its own article (the PM article will be untouched, aside from mentioning P+)
*An article icon will be added for use on event articles (and P+ specific articles should that be decided on) only.
'''If you oppose this part of the proposal, please do not vote on the rest of it.'''

#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.

#Supporting for the reasons mentioned above. Project + has become just as popular as PM, if not even more so. Because of its popularity in tournaments there's no reason to not give it a mention on this wiki.

#Given the depth of the changes being implemented *game wide* (not just balancing) i believe it is different enough to have its own wiki. so many new stages, menu options, extra modes, costumes, tournement presence,etc...its a lot to cover as simply a footnote on the PM wiki. - WaveOfSilence <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:142.167.13.88|142.167.13.88]] ([[User talk:142.167.13.88|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/142.167.13.88|contribs]]) 19:59, 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'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>
#Support due to its rising popularity rivaling PM, and with the PM scene seeming to be moving towards P+. Just as with PM, even if this isn't an official Smash game, its significance to the Smash community is enough for us to document 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)

#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. However I think it's reasonable to wait some time to see if P+ isn't just a fad, so I wouldn't oppose waiting to add content on the condition of P+ showing it has the sticking power to supplant PM. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 07:48, April 10, 2020 (EDT)
#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.

# This whole situation is getting way out of hand. As the SmashWiki, our job is to report on the Super Smash Bros. series, not an assortment of mods that people have made on it. I have no idea why Serpent King decided to open this forum before I opened the one about whether we should be keeping all of the character articles for PM in the first place, but there you go.

#: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).

#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.

#I’m... fine with giving Project+ a separate page. But if we’re talking about character articles, not until it’s a household name like Project M.

===Comments===
For those who are against covering PM/P+ on the wiki because it's a mod, consider this point: the largest PM tournament has more entrants than both the largest ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 64'' tournaments, and there are still tournaments that clock over 300 entrants. No other mod has had such a big impact on competitive play, and so I strongly believe PM should be an exception to the mod rule.

:"the largest PM tournament has more entrants than both the largest ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 64'' tournaments", entirely irrelevant. There are a lot of games which have had bigger tournaments than games in the Smash series, but we don't cover them because, like Project M, they are not a part of the Smash series, and therefore shouldn't be covered here.

::::::::I feel as adding to your comment about "''What other Nintendo wikis do is completely irrelevant to us''" I should bring up a segment from [[SW:NOT#SmashWiki is not Wikipedia|SmashWiki is not Wikipedia]] to further support this:

::::::::Back to seriousness now. Other wikis might not mention fan-made content, but that does not mean that we should do the same.

::::::::"''PM is not a part of the Super Smash Bros. series, and that's the series this Wiki covers.''" This still doesn't change the fact that PM was built off of a game in the Super Smash Bros series, that being Brawl. Reguardless of how signifficant the changes in PM were, the root of the game is still Brawl which is part of the Super Smash Bros series.

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)
:Absolutely not. The truth is not a popularity contest.

::So I see that Alex is basically the Miles of Project +. You do realize, Alex, that just because it's not a game made by Nintendo that does not mean we have to completely ignore it. As Omega Tyrant said "''Trying to keep the wiki in its own bubble only shuns potential editors, and degrades the wiki's content''". As the [[SW:NOT|policies]] specifically state:

::"''[[Project M]] is a mod that has attained an unprecedented level of notability among the community and even outside it. As a result, [[Forum:The Project M debate|it has been decided by the wiki community]] that ''Project M'' should be allowed to have pages about its characters, in addition to a page about itself.''"

::And...

::"''pushing for the removal of information with the argument that it's not approved/endorsed by Nintendo (such as the ''Brawl'' mod [[Project M]]) will not be acceptable.''"

::The fact still stands that P+ is having a significant impact in the Smash community. The fact that it's a mod does not mean we must completely ignore it.

::''"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.

::"''The popularity of a mod doesn't change anything.''" Yes it does. Again why do we have pages for PM in the first place? Because of its popularity in the community. Project + has nearly overshadowed PM in terms of competitive play, it's enough to make it notable on this wiki.

:: 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.

==Part 2: What do we do about the character articles==
There are a few ways we could do this. Please pick one of the following options, '''please do not vote oppose on any of these'''. If you have an idea for an alternate option, please discuss it in comments.

===Make sections for Project + on the existing Project M character articles===
We would also make an article for Knuckles. This also raises the question "do we rename the articles to reflect P+" (In other words, ''Mario (PM)'' or ''Mario (P+)''). Please include incite on this if you vote here.
#...As a Project M/+ player, IMO it makes the most sense to add sections to the PM articles to reflect the P+ changes.

===Make separate articles for Project + characters===
#Given that several characters have massive changes (IE: Bowser/Charzard) and to keep things together, should we get the wiki it would be better to have everything pertaining to it in one area - WaveOfSilence <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:142.167.13.88|142.167.13.88]] ([[User talk:142.167.13.88|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/142.167.13.88|contribs]]) 19:56, April 9, 2020 (EDT)</small>

===Nothing, do not cover Project + characters===
#'''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.

#:Meh I would worry that such an article would be far too long, especially if we decide not to trim off content from the PM articles. <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> 19:27, April 9, 2020 (EDT)

Will a Knuckles icon be added anyways? [[User:Cookies and Creme|<span style="font-family: Georgia;color: black;">Cookies</span>]][[File:CnC Signature.png|20px]][[User talk:Cookies and Creme|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: black;">Creme</span>]] 19:19, April 9, 2020 (EDT)
:If we decide to cover the project, yes at least for use in tournament results. <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> 19:20, April 9, 2020 (EDT)
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..[[Image:001Toad.jpg|20px]] <span style="font-family:Algerian">'''[[User:OmegaToad64|<font color="blue">OmegαToαd</font> <font color="aqua">the Toαd Wαrrior</font>]] [[User talk:OmegaToad64|<font color="springgreen">(BUP)</font></span>]]''' 19:53, April 9, 2020 (EDT)
