Editing User:Monsieur Crow/SmashWiki:New Game Procedure rewrite

{{draft}}

In the event that a '''new instalment of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is announced''', a large amount of information will need to be added to SmashWiki as information is constantly being released to the public. While information should be added to SmashWiki as needed, editors need to try and do their best to stay vigilant, ensuring that any information they add to SmashWiki comes from reliable sources.

All content claimed for new titles should be referenced on an official site, whether run by [[Nintendo]], [[Masahiro Sakurai]], or a similar party that has direct ties to the development of the game; social media posts, such as [[Miiverse]], may be acceptable if they are directly posted by developers. Note that in all the aforementioned cases, the page must still be accessible to users; images of a reportedly deleted image, message, or post are not considered reliable sources.

Content stemming from outside sources, such as forum posts, articles that do not list a source, sites that are not officially affiliated with Nintendo, singular images, and the ilk, should not be considered official, and any information from such sources should be cross-checked or discussed with others before their inclusion. Furthermore, information from individuals related to relevant companies, but not involved in the development of the game, such as a public relations advisor or a head of a marketing division, should not be considered reliable.

Copious, thorough screenshots or video of a subject can fall into a grey area; while they can be indicative of a leak, as seen with the [[ESRB leak]] for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', both have also previously been used for hoaxes, as seen in the [[List_of_rumors#Rayman_.22leak.22|Rayman hoax]] in 2015. In general, community consensus on a relevant talk page will be required for inclusion of such information.
