User talk:CmonCmon
Hi there![edit]
Welcome to our wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.
- Read this first as it provides many great resources designed to help users get oriented with the wiki and become part of the community.
- Visit the recent changes to see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
- Questions? You can ask at the help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!
- Need help? The community portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit.
I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!
Little tip[edit]
Click the "this is a minor edit" button during those mass edits you have been doing. I think there's a way to auto-enable it in your user settings. --Penro 15:50, 13 January 2018 (EST)
- There is. Go to Special:Preferences, and it will be under Editing > Editor > Mark all edits minor by default. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 18:27, 13 January 2018 (EST)
By the way, I noticed you replied on Penro’s page rather than here. Just a reminder that under SW:TALK, if someone posts on your talk page, any responses should be posted on the same talk page. This helps avoid confusion and keeps all posts together. Thanks for joining the wiki and keep up the great work. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation.

ah... sorry :-/
Thank you for letting me know what the proper Smash Wiki etiquette is! CmonCmon (talk) 23:02, 13 January 2018 (EST)
Moving Pages[edit]
You can move a page by the little tab at the top of the page that says Move. You've asked a couple times on how to do so this is the method. Have a nice day. BSTIK (Talk) 10:43, 19 February 2018 (EST)

Do not remove results from tournament pages[edit]
I don't know how many times this has to be stated to people, but there is no limit to how deep the listing of results can go on tournament pages, lower placings are still valid information of interest to the wiki, people can go and write down the complete placings of the entire tourney if they want to do so. This is especially so as tournament source pages are not guaranteed to stay up forever, meaning one going to the source page to see the complete results isn't always a viable option, as all the tourney results lost from AIB going down and old Smashboard threads being deleted can attest to. The only caveat is people should stop auto-linking players who do not already have a page after they reach a point in the results where anyone who made it that far isn't likely to be notable for an article, and if the results table ends up too big, then keep a top portion of the results on the main page while putting the complete results on a linked subpage.

- Seems pretty useless to include results that far down, I've seen plenty of supermajors/highest possible level tournaments (the vast majority) that don't even have 97ths and 129ths listed, but you do you 👍 —Preceding unsigned comment added by CmonCmon (talk • contribs) 20:14, January 12, 2022 (EST)
- Yeah, because it's done on a volunteer basis. The use is that we keep the results in the event the original links are broken, which has happened before. --Meester Tweester (talk) 20:55, January 12, 2022 (EST)
- "Seems pretty useless to include results that far down"
- Results are results, it's factual information that can be of interest to readers, there is no harm in having more complete results on the wiki, and where one thinks the "cutoff" with documenting results should be is arbitrary. Plus like I said, source pages aren't guaranteed to stay up forever, so complete results should be documented here as otherwise they can become permanently lost if they aren't.
- "I've seen plenty of supermajors/highest possible level tournaments (the vast majority) that don't even have 97ths and 129ths listed"
- Other tournaments not having results go that far is only because no one has wrote down those results yet (it takes work after all to write down the results and wiki editing is done a volunteer basis), not because those pages were denied from having deeper results. On a wiki if some page has content not up to par with what another page has, you bring that content up to par, you don't delete content from the other page. So if you want those supermajor pages to have results as deep or deeper than what Kasarabi 6 has on its page, then expand the results on those pages.
