==6th installment==
I understand the wiki is not official but this is an encyclopedia to document necessary information is it not? I get we don't have to use official stances, but claiming ''Ultimate'' is the 5th game in the series is false and misleading information. This isn't speculative, this is a fact which is why I don't see how pushing that the wiki isn't official applies here. It's almost like saying the original ''Smash'' game is titled ''Smash 64'' and then claiming that because the wiki isn't official, we can then keep that as the article's name. I'm not saying that we should move towards using more official information, I'm saying that in this scenario, we have to use official information because it's a clear fact that ''Ultimate'' is the 6th installment. If we wanted to say something about ''Smash 4'', then perhaps it could look something like this: "It is the sixth installment in the series (fifth if both versions of ''Smash 4'' are counted as one)."

:My intention is to say "...is the '''fifth/sixth''' installment" with a hover-title explaining the situation, but I'm unaware of whether the relevant templates actually exist yet, and I'm uneasy porting Wikia code to SmashWiki because it's been a while since SW split off.
