==Correction==
There are technically 3 proposals for an IRC ruleset. Mine, OT's, and Miles'. [[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Anon|talk]]) 21:09, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
:Honestly, we don't need to link to all three as they are all on the same page. [[User:Dr. Pain 99|DoctorPain99]] 21:35, 16 July 2011 (EDT)
==Interwiki==
Are the underway changes to the interwiki links worth mentioning? [[User:ToastUltimatum|<font color="darkorange">'''Toast'''</font>]] [[File:Wii U Logo Transparent.png|17px|link=Special:Contributions/ToastUltimatum]][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|<font color="seablue">'''ltimatum'''</font>]][[File:Transparent Swadloon.png|26px]] 08:19, 24 January 2012 (EST)
== Tone ==
I don't particularly like the tone of the message as it is right now, specifically the use of the word "right" - on a Wiki, everything that is thought to be a right is actually a privilege. And the "Once April begins" part of it implies that it will be done as an April Fools' joke. And on a side note, are we still going to keep the old icons (which, with some exceptions, I personally preferred)? [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] ([[User talk:RickTommy|talk]]) 03:00, 28 March 2012 (EDT)
:While not technically correct, I believe using the word "right" gets across the message that "You get the chance to do it yourself first, but if you don't do it, someone else will.". And I don't see how a deadline of the end of March implies something April Fools-related.
:Since the intent of the icon change was to stop using the old ones and only use the new ones, all the old icons would be hanging around not used by anyone. Images like that usually get deleted. One can always re-upload a few later as user images, once they're removed from all current pages.

== WiKirby ==
WiKirby is fixed now, right? In which case, it should be out of the sitenotice now. [[User:ToastUltimatum|{{Color|#ff8c00|'''Toast'''}}]] [[File:Wii U Logo Transparent.png|17px|link=Special:Contributions/ToastUltimatum]][[User talk:ToastUltimatum|{{Color|#01a3c4|'''ltimatum'''}}]][[File:Transparent Swadloon.png|26px]] 19:27, 4 August 2013 (EDT)

==Add a special mention of the debate going on about the video leaks==
Or better yet, set up an entire forum for said debate, with an area set aside for traditional support/oppose, and another area for legitimate points brought up by both sides, along with any counter-arguments made against those points. I can see numerous folks just interpreting the new game policy however they want over the next couple of weeks until official confirmation, and it'd probably be better if edit wars were to be avoided throughout the next couple of weeks as we approach release date. <span style="font-family:Forte">[[User:Megatron1|<span style="color:maroon">Mega</span>]][[User talk:Megatron1|<span style="color:silver">Tron1</span>]][[User:Megatron1/Laughology|<span style="color:blue">XD</span>]]</span>[[File:Decepticon.png|19px]] 23:45, 26 August 2014 (EDT)
== SW:NOTABLE ==
Would it worth be mentioning in the site notice? It's not just the recent editor pages, there have been quite a few vanity pages recently, even ignoring the recently marked old ones.

:I think it could be worth mentioning, especially with the "Smasher:SmashWiki" type of article that has been spammed on RecentChanges recently.

== Get rid of the happy holidays stuff. ==

== Red ==
Does it have to be in red?  [[File:PoultrysigSSB4.png|20x50px]][[User:Poultry|<font color="red">'''Poultry'''</font>]][[File:PoultrysigSSBM.png|20x50px]]''([[User talk:Poultry#top|<font color="blue">talk</font>]])'' the Team Liquid  20:13, 22 April 2016 (EDT)

== Notable player adding ==
Is it still a big issue? Otherwise maybe we don't need to have red text or remove it all together.

::I think what he's trying to get at is that people are too ignorant to read a stupid message that's literally punching them in the face, but I do agree it shouldn't be removed. It's a high risk that if we remove it, we may get even more notable player adding to rollback. We must assume that it's at least helping somewhat, even if we have no way of proving it.

== The new usergroup thing ==
