Montana Melee Power Rankings

Hi, do you have sources to prove the legitimacy of the PRs in the Montana PR page you created? The lack of any sources, with all players having red links, makes the page look dubious, especially when it appeared you also gamed getting autoconfirmation by making excessive minor edits to the same page (making this edit just to immediately revert it a minute later is a particularly egregious example of edit count manipulation]. On that note, I'm also going to remind you to preview your edits and try to do your editing in a single edit or two, instead of making a bunch of minor edits to the same page, as otherwise it clogs up recent changes with unnecessary edits and makes the page's history more cumbersome to use.

Hello, within the next few days I will upload the official images of Montana's past PRs, as well as reference links to the original facebook posts that the images will be taken from. I'll also begin to write some articles for the more notable players in our scene that have been fortunate to find some semblance of relevance outside of the state, so they're not all red links and gross looking. I didn't even realize small edits were a thing, and that particularly egregious example was me making a mistake in updating the 64 line, instead of the Melee line, immediately realizing I messed up, and correcting it. I'm not trying to manipulate an edit count or game anything. I just want to make an article about my scene. That being said, I'll be sure that henceforth during this article-making process, I'll educate myself on how to properly and correctly make the creations of, edits to, and detailing of these articles in a way that is more streamlined and less cumbersome for you and anyone else to view / use. I didn't mean to make your job more difficult. Thanks, Mr. Omega Tyrant,

Alright, didn't want to sound accusatory, just not too long we had someone post a fake PR for a remote region, and so seeing a new user post a sourceless PR for Montana looked alarming. If you're looking to create articles for your scene, here are some helpful links.

• The Manual of Style - This explains how wiki articles should be written and other little rules that article text should follow.

• Smasher article guidelines - This lays out how smasher articles should be laid out, what is expected of them, and every other rule for smasher articles.

• Help:Drafts - When creating a new article, you might want to create as a draft first, so that it can be officially launched in a more "complete" state, as well as to get help from others during the creation process.

• SmashWiki:Discord server - Has the link to our discord server and the rules for it, in case you want a more direct way to get help from other users. Omega Tyrant 01:22, March 27, 2023 (EDT)

A heads up

Hi, we recently decided that with results on Smasher pages, we want to start listing the amount of entrants each tournament had in addition to the player's placement. Refer to our guidelines for how it should be formatted. Any results you add to the wiki from now on should abide to this, even if it's not currently fully consistent across most pages yet (though we would also appreciate people fixing this for already listed results too, since it's work that cannot be relegated to bots).
