I think we should change the name to "First Start" or something like that, and rename the subheadings section.

:I can deal with having to rename the page, but I would still like the acronym to be meaningful. I see no problem with the subsection names. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The SMASH-GINEER 18:54, 10 June 2013 (EDT)

:I'm probably biased but I think this is better than that page because it's less generic and more in line with the current culture. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The SMASH-GINEER 18:54, 10 June 2013 (EDT)

'''Support''': Bagels. <ins>I also have to add to what Tommai said. The simplified ruleset was copied from Wikipedia and doesn't well-reflect SmashWiki. Also, I don't think it gives very good advice. If I were to give advice to a newbie about what or how to edit, this is where I'd point, not the simplified ruleset, as this says exactly what I would say. Another point: I didn't even know the simplified ruleset was here until you mentioned it. We can publicize this better via use of the Welcome Template, the site notice, and/or the main page, and make it more helpful than the simplified ruleset that no one really cares about.</ins> <span style="font-family:Triforce, sans-serif;">'''[[User:Dr. Pain 99|<font color=#008000>D<font color=#008019>o<font color=#008031>c<font color=#008049>t<font color=#008062>o<font color=#008080>rP</font>a</font>i</font>n</font>9</font>9</font>]]'''</span> 21:58, 9 June 2013 (EDT), addendum on 19:07, 10 June 2013 (EDT)
 
'''Support''' The simplified ruleset we have is pretty useless and nowhere near as helpful as this for a "simple rulest". <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 ]] 02:28, 16 June 2013 (EDT)
 
'''Support''': This is a very smart idea for a first page for newcomers to visit. Good job, Toomai. <span style="font-family: AR DARLING; font-size: 12pt"> [[User:DarkFox01|{{Color|black|Dark}}]][[User talk:DarkFox01|{{Color|darkred|Fox}}]][[Special:Contributions/DarkFox01|{{Color|red|01}}]]</span>[[File:DF01Sig.png|19px]]is a BitF fan 15:39, 18 June 2013 (EDT)
 
'''Support''': Well written and isn't too long. Overall, great! [[User:Scr7|Scr7]][[File:FalcoIcon2.jpg|19px]] 15:46, 18 June 2013 (EDT)
 
For the official shortcut, we will use [[SW:FIRST]]. I'm debating whether SW:RTFM should be available or not; we don't want to show it to newbies or hair-trigger sourpusses, but it's apt, effective, and can possibly help cleave clueless mules. Once I get some opinions here I see no reason to delay policyfiying this.

:Oh never mind, I understand. Maybe we should not list that on the short-cut page but still have it as a shortcut. <span style="font-family:Triforce, sans-serif;">'''[[User:Dr. Pain 99|<font color=#008000>D<font color=#008019>o<font color=#008031>c<font color=#008049>t<font color=#008062>o<font color=#008080>rP</font>a</font>i</font>n</font>9</font>9</font>]]'''</span> 23:06, 18 June 2013 (EDT)
 
So if we implement this, do we repeal the Simplified Ruleset or leave it be and generally use this?

'''Support''': More enlightening and more organized than the Simplified Ruleset. What makes it even better is that it isn't copied from Wikipedia.--[[User:Starman125|Starman125]] ([[User talk:Starman125|talk]]) 22:48, 24 June 2013 (EDT)
