So recently a lot of newer users have been wondering why they are unable to create page or upload images. The reason for this is because page creation is restricted to autoconfirmed users only. Now, this ''was'' a necessary measure there for a while (and this was not the case when I first joined SW a year or so ago), but now, with Smash 4 done and over with, I think that we could possibly put it back to regular old users (Not IPs) without too many issues. Anyway, I wanted to see what you all had to say, so discuss here. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:12pt">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">King</span>]]'''</span> 21:19, 18 July 2016 (EDT) | So recently a lot of newer users have been wondering why they are unable to create page or upload images.

::::You do have a point, but I think there's no harm in waiting a few days to get full editing rights. I mean, the first couple of edits I made were undone, and at this point, unless they're a user with lots of competitive knowledge, they don't really ''need'' to have the page creation ability right away. It was two months before I created a userpage (not to use myself as a "perfect example" or anything again lol) and while those are fun, they are also unnecessary, and shouldn't be the first action done by a new user, which is what would probably happen if they got page creation rights. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">PK SMAAAASH!!</span>]]</b> 11:08, 20 July 2016 (EDT) | ::::You do have a point, but I think there's no harm in waiting a few days to get full editing rights.

:::::Lol fun fact, that's the first thing I did with mine. Anyway though, idk I just feel like such restrictions are hindering us more than helping. While I do see what you mean by not needing the page creation, ''all users'' (not ips) should be able to upload, and that is the main issue here. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:12pt">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #0b7">Serpent</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px #fd0">King</span>]]'''</span> 02:51, 21 July 2016 (EDT) | :::::Lol fun fact, that's the first thing I did with mine.
