{{Forumheader|Watercooler}}<!-- Please put your content under this line.  Be sure to sign your edits with four tildes ~~~~ -->
Alright so here's the deal. In an attempt not to have to shut down the whole project, SSBD needs some restrictions, which I will lay out here:
#Only one character per person may be uploaded per week.
#Only one stage, assist trophy, or Pokemon may be uploaded per every 3 days.
#Each character may have an image for the infobox, a head icon, a costume pallet, and a universe icon (if necessary) uploaded. Any other images will not be allowed.
#The Palutena's Guidance page will be abolished: that information is to go on the relevant character's page.
#Universe pages will be abolished. They're overkill.

The rules here are not to take effect until a community consensus is reached.

I would say the boxing ring titles should go before Palutena's Guidance, if just because that page is much larger and less notable. I'd rather be able to read all of the Palutena's Guidances in one place than all of the clever nicknames.

Besides that, I'm cool with this. That's basically what I was doing anyway. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]]. Or maybe [[User:DatNuttyKid|DatNuttyKid]].</small>  21:52, 14 January 2016 (EST)
:I'm honestly okay with this. Things are going too far and there needs to be rules in place. If successful, I vote we put the rules on the base SSBD page.

For the images, can we make an exception with [[:File:DRexKingExtremeDinosaurs.png|this one]]? I used it because [[User:DracoRexKing/Bullzeye (SSBD)|this character's]] special moveset technically consists of 4 characters in one, and using that image to represent them seems much better than adding tons of links to the page (and without it, the paragraph describing their traits becomes a tedious wall of text).

(edit conflict) Oh also, I don't intend on making anyone take down anything that already exists, besides the Palutena's Guidance page, which, Nutta, is honestly just one more useless unnecessary edit for each character, and that's why I don't want it. Also, yeah that boxing ring page will have to go also. <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:12pt">[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">'''Serpent'''</span>]] [[File:SKSig.png|16px|link=]] [[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0;">'''King'''</span></span>]] 22:00, 14 January 2016 (EST)

I still think keeping Palutena's Guidance isn't unreasonable. It's not mandatory, and it's better to read it all at once than go from page to page. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]]. Or maybe [[User:DatNuttyKid|DatNuttyKid]].</small>  22:03, 14 January 2016 (EST)

<small>(Reset indent) </small> On that note, I only have one more character planned, and as I said before, all I really do is add minor obscure references made outside of the main moveset.

That said, to my understanding, we now have consensus over rules 1-3. 4 and 5 remain in argument; 4 with the reason that it should be kept as something to the side that's fun and humorous, and 5 with the reason that, while it should go in effect, the ones that do stand now should stay.

I wanted to give a reminder, as I pointed out elsewhere, that [[User:Miles of SmashWiki/Stuff for Smash#Add a universe|you can use]] non-locally hosted images to reduce clutter.

I agree with points 1-4. However, if I make a universe page and just don't call it SSBD, what happens then? I say this because I was planning on making one. I definitely agree though that there's been way to much focus on SSBD, what with all the competitive articles that need improvements or creation. Anyone can and should work on that, regardless of how uninteresting it may be. As for the point about offsite hosting, could I use Photobucket to do that, and more importantly, would it work? I always have problems making infoboxes. <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> 23:41, 14 January 2016 (EST)

I'm okay with these rules (except for <nowiki>#4</nowiki>, obviously). [[SW:SBOX|This]] and Word exist for a reason, after all.

So far it seems like mostly consensus in support of 1-3 and 5 (John's only concern about 5 isn't really relevant since the rules don't apply to non-SSBD, which leaves Aidan as the only user who disagrees with 5), and mostly consensus against 4 (SK is the only one outright in support of it; everyone else is either staying out of the discussion or are openly against it).
