Editing Forum:The Project M debate

{{archive}}
{{tocright}}
It has come to my attention that this Project M thing is getting pretty big: it already has recognition and equal standing to the three real games on SmashBoards and in tournaments. And now, multiple people are requesting that we do the same here.

At present, [[SW:NOT]] defines that we should keep away from fanon and fan games due to the impossibility of defining a notability criteria. However, Project M has a few properties that make it hard to fit into this generality:
#It defines its own notability criteria by being the only Brawl hack to reach widespread public recognition and tournament participation.
#It is only ambiguously a fan game, as it is a hack and not a bottom-up recreation. Highly notable hacks do have a place on-wiki.

The current policy on notable hacks (including Project M) is to contain all info about the hack on a single page and refrain from mentioning it on other pages. '''This debate is to determine whether we should change this policy, and in what way.'''

==Process==
This page has several sections. '''Read every section before you vote in any of them; some are mutually exclusive.''' The rules of voting are as follows:
#Place your vote in each applicable section. '''Make sure to sign your votes.'''
#You may include a reason with your vote, or you may not. If you do choose to include a reason, '''do not argue with what others have already said''', as this is sure to be a controversial subject and arguing doesn't help anybody. Instead, '''put your entire opinion on the table'''. Express your reasoning as completely as possible, preferably without referring to anyone else's reasons, so that you will not need to elaborate in the future.
#If what you want to see has no option, vote in whatever's closest and state what you want to see as your reason. If enough others decide to side with this option it may be added for real.
#You may change your votes and/or reasons at any time, ensuring that it still conforms to the above.
#Votes that are unnecessary (a "no" in a subtopic where the user already voted "no" in the parent topic) will be deleted. Unsigned votes will be deleted, as will those with incorrect formatting. Reasons that break the given guidelines will be removed; the vote itself will remain. You can re-vote later if you do it properly.
#As with everything on the wiki, winning the vote does not guarantee winning the decision. Weight is given to arguments and voters' on-wiki experience. Recruiting new users from offsite to vote for your side will not help.

==Topic: Allow Project M to have independent character pages==
'''Note:''' A "Yes" decision here implies that relevant images, templates, and categories will also be allowed.

Place your vote here if you would like to see <code>Character (PM)</code> pages that go into just as much depth as those for the real games.

#While I'm uneasy about giving some of these characters pages (as Toomai said below, "like Melee but a little bit like Brawl too" isn't very good) some characters (such as the Melee-exclusive veterans, who have character renders) I think are deserving of a separate page, and the metagame is vastly different in Project M from any other game as well, which makes pages slightly more interesting. IIRC there's a separate tier list as well, and that fulfills another part of the article. I would be okay with this, but not particularly saddened if the proposition fails.

#Yep, definitely. Here's where I stand- the current Project M page sucks. There's no denying it. No one wants all the information on one huge, cluttery page; many characters have changes that cannot be expressed simply in bullet points. Pages for Project M characters will encourage users to write more coherently and add new information in a fluent way, rather than just having a list of some apparent changes from ''Melee'' or ''Brawl'' which can be unclear. Expanding the character sections will just add to the gigantic size of the page, so in order to have paragraph explanations we need to move characters to their own separate pages. --[[User:Timson622222|Timson622222]] ([[User talk:Timson622222|talk]]) 22:46, 16 October 2013 (EDT)
#Oh most certainly. Project M not only has two new characters but many characters function so differently from their vBrawl counterparts that is would be silly not to. Characters like Snake and Wario are so different. The Project M community would benefit greatly from this. As nice as Smashboards is the info can be confusingly formated or downright wrong. While SSBWiki can't completely defend against from this it will at least be all in one place.--[[User:LockableFaceman]] ([[User talk:LockableFaceman|talk]])

# Project M has become the extension of the Melee metagame which Brawl failed to live up to. While it may not be "official" per se, it is being developed in a professional and thoughtful manner.

# Agreed. Project M alters Brawl metagames and most characters' movesets to make it more balanced and competitive, hence its successfullness, and it's also the first Brawl hack to include newcomers. It also has many drastically-changed stages, with characteristics that need to be listed. SmashWiki is not official, anyway.

#As I usually do in day-to-day discussions, I feel like it's time for me to come and lay out an often ignored truth that needs more attention. Ask yourself this question: "How long will this wiki last?" In reality, only one thing is certain: longer than Project M. SSB4's release is approaching and, hopefully, the future SSB5 announcement will knock us off our feet once again. One sad day or another, Melee will fall out of popularity and it'll become one of the old classics stored in the back of you messy closet. It would be great to have all our past research documented for the younger generations poking around the new Virtual Console, although Project's M's name and pride will be forgotten forever. I'm confident, that with how strong we've held on until now, that we'll last at least 'till then. One day, you're going to wake up on the wrong side of bed, get onto the wiki, see the confused mess SW:NOT has become, and give up counting the number of spammers pleading for support of their fan-made Smash Brothers game. You're gonna ask yourself why you damn supported so much a strange craze you had as a young adult - a few years in your stupid life and that you could only enjoy if you ever won.

#Again. Most certainly! I play P:M and Melee and P:M is very different from Melee and vBrawl. The only characters I can think of that are similar enough to warrent no mention are Fox and Falco. And even inthat respect they are different enough. The new metagame means their moves may be used differently and of course frame data is not precisely similar. I honestly believe having all the Project M info for characters all in one very easy to navigate place will help a quickly growing community grow only quicker. Very few characters lack a new move or three and many existing moves act VERY differently (see Diddy's side special for example). I think Project M deserves it. [[User:LockableFaceman]]

As PMs competitive scene grows, this kind of data will be in high demand, and this is a fine place to host it.

'''Note:''' "Equal standing" does not mean "part of the Smash Bros. series". The series itself will always be only the official games; the phrase "the Smash Bros. series" does not and will not refer to PM.

==Votes: Delete notable hacks such as Project M from the wiki==
Finally, there will be those who do not believe that even the most notable of hacks deserve representation on a wiki whose mission statement is to document the Smash Bros. series as unbiasedly as possible. This section is for those people to post their votes. '''If you intend to vote here, do not place a vote for the other topics.'''
#...

== Preliminary verdict ==

As of this time it appears the community's opinions have become mostly clear:
*Project M is too big to ignore, and with the widespread character changes and much-hyped additions, the project should get independent character pages if nothing else.
*Moveset subpages are not currently of importance; the effort required to create and maintain them during active development is not worth the benefit.
*There isn't currently enough notable changes aside from characters to warrant independent pages for other elements.
*Important PM notes can be noted in non-PM-exclusive articles, but as a whole should remain cordoned off in the main article.
*Using a PM article icon is acceptable for PM character pages and tournaments.
Should the discussion close now, this is what would happen:
*<code>Character (PM)</code> pages would be created for all Brawl characters plus PM additions. They would be placed in <code>Category:Characters (PM)</code> and the like, and given the PM article icon.
*Tournaments holding PM events would get the PM article icon.
*Categories such as <code>Screenshots (PM)</code> would be created as necessary.
*Pages can have minor PM-related notes added, such as putting something like "In PM, the detection angle is reverted to Melee's range, so spikes exist" in the Brawl section of the meteor smash article.
*Policies such as [[SW:NOT]] would have exceptions added for PM.
'''If you have a serious problem with going forward with this as written, and you feel like you need to say something you haven't said above, speak now. Remember to only state your full opinion and not argue with others'.''' Remember that like all wiki policies, this can change in the future if enough support arises, but as of this time this is what would happen.

*The only capacity in which character pages for Project M should go forward is as clear subpages to the Project M subpage itself. I repeat that it should not even be mentioned in the mainspace outside of articles specifically about hacking/mods and pages for tournaments that include Project M events. SmashWiki should keep its mainspace emphasis quite strictly on the actual official games of the series, regardless of Project M tournament play. [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="dodgerblue"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">'''Miles''']] <font color="silver">([[User talk:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="silver">talk]])</font></font></span></font> 12:32, 3 November 2013 (EST)

Point number two: As long as there are people willing to write the moveset subpage articles (which there will be), I don't see what's wrong with having them, and the information can be changed as the game is developed (which shouldn't be hard to do). [[User:Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">'''Awesome'''</span>]] [[User talk:Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">'''Cardinal'''</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">'''2000'''</span>]] 18:07, 3 November 2013 (EST)

Point #3 - I don't think we should always put P:M notes onto pages if it's not important. If it's something new that P:M adds, like input buffer control, there could be a mention of it on a related page that discusses how ''Brawl'' has the 10-frame buffer. However, for spikes, it's already assumed that P:M reverts it back so we don't necessarily need that information. --[[User:Timson622222|Timson622222]] ([[User talk:Timson622222|talk]]) 00:02, 9 November 2013 (EST)

== The verdict ==

As nothing major has really changed since the preliminary verdict was issued, I think it's safe to say that it can be implemented pretty much as-is. To sum it up:
*Characters get independent pages. Nothing else does.
*Characters, relevant tournaments, and news items get a PM article icon.
*Pages can have minor PM-related notes added.
*SW:NOT will be altered appropriately.
Within the next day or two, I will be creating relevant templates and three stubs: [[Mario (PM)]], [[Mewtwo (PM)]], and [[Charizard (PM)]]. Once the stubs are up, use their format to create other character articles and fill them in. I ask you not create any new pages until then, though you can add minor PM notes to existing articles.

Finally, I will reply to some specific posts in this page that caught my attention:
*TCP:No, vote 8 (72.53.134.85) You do bring up two good points:
*#That this ruling may provide a foothold for nameless schmucks who want their personal mod recognized. This can't be denied, but at the very least we can keep our rules strict, and it's not like we haven't dealt with this issue in the past.
*#That this wiki will outlive PM, which unlike the actual games won't be available on future Virtual Consoles, and so will eventually vanish. This is probably true, but I don't think it's a relevant argument against widening its scope right now. PM will always be important enough to mention even historically, and even if in the future it becomes underfoot enough for character pages to be unimportant, they can be stuffed back into the main page.
*Prelim verdict, Miles: Placing character pages as subpages did occur to me as an option. However, in the end I figure it's relatively pointless. Subpages don't really do anything special aside from provide "up the tree" links under the title; such pages are still in the mainspace in all ways (can be accesed from Special:Random, appear in "mainspace" for magic words and statistics), with the added disadvantages of having a long name and being harder to search for.

This is how things will go forward as of now. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Loony 13:20, 20 November 2013 (EST)

==Reopening discussion==

I hope this edit isn't out of place, but since we have had time to view the results of the verdict for PM information, I want to bring up a few things:
*I feel that a small handful of other PM articles would be beneficial in organizing information about PM. I'm talking 4, maybe 5 articles at a max. Dracula's Castle and Skyloft could use one. So could Turbo Mode, and maybe one for aerial glide tossing. There currently is no place for information on the new stages, and Turbo mode has a random assortment of data stuffed into the PM article awkwardly. It could use its own article with its own sections to actually get the information down. 
*For people working on character articles, I feel that the Mario one is a pretty good one to use as a reference for the others. We don't need those funky {{t|for|the unmodded version...}} things at the top, that information can just be put into the infobox. It should mention the series that the character comes from, just like any other character page, and it should have an attributes paragraph or two documenting the character's strengths and weaknesses in a mostly objective manner. Meaning rather than talking about changes in the attributes section ("Forward smash is now stronger"), talk about them in a way that is meaningful and self-contained without requiring knowledge of the character base ("Forward smash is extremely powerful").
*Those custom CSPs have got to go. They're unofficial, have the color bar/warning signs on them, and are low quality. We need a consistent set of images to use throughout the character articles, preferably renders and not any ripped CSPs. We could use Brawl's, but we don't have any for Roy/Mewtwo or Pokemon trainer Pokemon. So wweh.

Bump. I still feel that a couple of other PM pages would be fitting.

-==About Custom Stages==
-I think each stage available in Project M (Except for the ones that have only received minor edits) should be mentioned on the stage's specific page, as well as its actual Tournament status in PM. Of course this would mean creating all new pages for the three Project M exclusive stages: Dracula's Castle, Training Room and Skyloft. Project M in-game snapshots should also be uploaded rather than using the N64 or Melee images.--[[User:Wolfy76700|Wolfy76700]] ([[User talk:Wolfy76700|talk]]) 16:57, 13 September 2014 (EDT)
