== "There is no email address recorded for user"? ==

Hello. I'm the user Wrilliam, back after a 3-year absence. However, I forgot my password, and when I tried to reset it, the following message appears to me:

There is no email address recorded for user "Wrilliam".

AFAIK, the e-mail address is mandatory to create an account, so what's that supposed to mean? Was my account deactivated, deleted or the like?

==Trivia==
What exactly do you mean by "extremely common knowledge"? ''I'' did not know the meaning behind the name Alucard until the first fourth of this year (2018). So before adding it to the trivia, I asked a few people if they knew what Alucard was backwards, just in case it was a "no, just me?" thing. Almost all of them had heard the name Alucard before, but not the fact that it was Dracula spelled backwards. I also noticed that Alucard's page on the ''Castlevania'' wiki and on Rachel Alucard's page on the ''Blaze Blue'' wiki both mention it in their trivia pages. Not only that, the ''Smash'' blog even refers to it by asking what you get when spelled backwards. Plus, not everyone is able to read backwards very well (Ekans, Arbok), usually it would't often come to mind. Also, one of the reasons why I added it in the first place is in the understanding that not ''everyone'' who plays ''Smash'' is necessarily familiar with ''Castlevania''. Some people, despite having a love of the ''Zelda'' or ''Smash'' series, do not know that Sheik (or Tetra) are actually Zelda (even ''if'' they somehow skipped ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''). I actually had a friend who did not know that Zelda and Sheik were the same person, despite having played ''Brawl'' and Subspace, until I pointed it out. Regardless of what was previously mentioned, if you still feel it is ''too'' obvious to be added, then I guess I leave it alone then. (sorry to have bother you) [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 15:44, 22 October 2018 (EDT)
:The argument is "should Alucard be noted in trivia to be Dracula backwards"? In which case, absolutely, this is not extremely common knowledge. <span style="font-family:Algerian;font-size:10pt;background:#000;border:outset #083 2px;padding:1px 3px">'''[[User:Serpent King|<span style="color:#083">Serpent</span>]]&nbsp;[[File:SKSig.png|12px|link=]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Serpent King|<span style="color:#ed0">King</span>]]'''</span> 15:55, 22 October 2018 (EDT)
::A quick search on the internet leads me to [[wikipedia:Count Alucard (character)|this]], a page on the character as he appears in the 1943 film ''{{iw|wikipedia|Son of Dracula|1943 film}}''. The page notes how "Alucard" is "Dracula" backwards, which, if you ask me, would mean it either:
:::A. is extremely common knowledge because it was mentioned in the film,
:::B. is extremely common knowledge because Wikipedia mentioned it, or
:::C. is ''not'' common knowledge, and is listed for the same reasons people have attempted to list it here.

::::I had mentioned in my Summery that "''"Alucard" being "Dracula" spelled backwards is not common knowledge (even among fans of Castlevania or BlazeBlue)''", in hindsight, I should have said "not ''that'' common". "Miles of SmashWiki" said in his undo Summery, "''this is extremely common knowledge and has been a known wordplay for 70+ years''". I'd argue that just because that it has been used numerous times, does not mean it is as common knowledge one may think. Certain wordplay or ideas in literature may be common, but unless you've done research on said ideas you would not necessarily be able to identify it. Unless at some point in Castlevania or BlazeBlue they were to directly mention it, you wouldn't necessarily think about it (was it mentioned within that film?). This would also require for the player to have played the game(s) in which it was mentioned (or shown, like with Zelda/Sheik/Tetra).

I honestly had never heard anyone '''''not''''' know that before. I always got the impression that it was obvious upon seeing the name "Alucard" at all, but then again I'm somebody who has always liked anagrams and wordplay. Apparently this was less obvious to people than I thought. You can go ahead and re-add it if you'd like.

== Light Arrow Origin ==

Hello, I'd just like to respond to [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Light_Arrow&diff=1097831&oldid=1090384 this] edit of yours.

I don't believe the mention of Tetra wielding the arrows in ''The Wind Waker'' is correct, because it is Zelda who wields the Light Arrows and not Tetra. Although they are the same person, Tetra is the disguise and not the true identity, and at the point in which the arrows are used, the disguise is not being used. Thus, it is Zelda who wields the arrows, and she is not acting as Tetra at that point.

I have brought this to discussion rather than simply removing the mention again, because that would violate policy and wouldn't meaningfully solve the dispute. [[User:Dr. HyperCake|Dr. HyperCake]] ([[User talk:Dr. HyperCake|talk]]) 03:43, 12 November 2018 (EST)
:It depends on how you interpret the semantic difference between the character as Tetra versus the character as Zelda. My reading of it from how Wind Waker handled it was that her actual name is Tetra and that "Zelda", at that point, essentially an honorary title applied to her by the King Daphnes more than anything. I figured that, since we had a page on Tetra as a character, that referring to Wind Waker's Zelda as Tetra, her given name, was still appropriate and that it would be worth linking to. [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="dodgerblue"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">'''Miles''']] <font color="silver">([[User talk:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="silver">talk]])</font></font></span></font> 11:17, 12 November 2018 (EST)
::Well, let's compare it to the Sheik scenario. Sheik is much more objectively a case of a disguise persona compared to Tetra, and so it would be reasonable to state something like "Zelda (as Sheik) did X". One could do a similar thing for Tetra: "Tetra (as Zelda) did X"; but because of the nature of Tetra, it becomes much more based on subjective interpretation as to which is the true identity, which is of course the source of this dispute. Tetra's relevance to the context of Zelda's use of Light Arrows in ''The Wind Waker'' only appears with the interpretation of Tetra as the true identity, whereas just stating "Zelda used the Light Arrows" is an accurate statement regardless of interpretation, much like stating that Sheik taught Link songs in ''Ocarina of Time''.

::I also argue that Zelda is as much the "true" identity in this case as Tetra, and so it is reasonable to omit any mention of Tetra. My interpretation is that they are each separate enough identity-wise that they can be viewed as separate characters of the same person; when one says "Tetra", it refers to the pirate, and when one says "Zelda" (or "Toon Zelda"), it refers to the princess. I suppose this is also comparable to Sheik in that sense.

::I feel that if a reader wants to know more about Zelda in ''The Wind Waker'' (and thus her connection to Tetra), they may pursue the information easily elsewhere, but in the context, the mention is not relevant and is too subjective.

::(Sorry for the wall of text. I've never been much good at making a point concisely.) [[User:Dr. HyperCake|Dr. HyperCake]] ([[User talk:Dr. HyperCake|talk]]) 16:02, 12 November 2018 (EST)
:::I agree that it ought to be Zelda. Zelda was the one actually using the light arrows in the final fight, not Tetra, which to me is the relevant distinction. &ndash; [[User:Emmett|<span style="color:#000000">Emmett</span>]] 16:14, 12 November 2018 (EST)

== My use of images ==

:No problem. And again, I don't want to be excessively critical. There is something of a learning curve to figuring out when an image actually illustrates something new and important for the page versus when it's excessive, and it's also not a set-in-stone right or wrong kind of thing. So don't stress too much, either.

== Spirit Pages ==

In regards to the notice for the consideration of deletion you added on Lapras' page, I suggest that we should hold off on making/deleting pages for characters that appear exclusively as "Spirits" (possibly until the game's release) until we find out if they have a purpose outside of a Spirit. Cappy has a page, but he also appears aesthetically in Mario's moveset. In Lapras' case, it is shown that it can appear in the overworld in "World of Light" showing it has second purpose. However it is currently unknown if it is among a small few Spirits capable of doing so. If quite a large amount of Spirits have shared effects in the overworld, then it should probably be stated in their "list of Sprits" pages instead of giving them individual pages. (Although, some characters have pages despite ''only'' appear as Trophies. Which ''were'' replaced by Spirits) Thoughts? [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 12:39, 15 November 2018 (EST)
:The idea was to use the Lapras discussion to come to these kinds of conclusions.

::I was asking about pages for Spirits in general and how we should go about making them before release. Because of that, I felt it did not fit the disscusion on Lapras' page. (And I saw that ''you'' were the one that added the consideration) Perhaps I'll add it to the Spirits (characters) discussion before the game's release if I remember.

==Alternate Smash Artwork==

I have a question about a character's alternate ''Smash'' art. In their character pages, are characters suppose to have their alternate art ([[Cloud_Strife#In_Super_Smash_Bros._4|Advent]] [[Cloud_Strife#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|Cloud]], Male [[Inkling#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|Inkling]]) in their ''Smash'' bios? (I'm not talking about their main bios) I ask because someone recently added them and I thought someone (an Admin) told me awhile back that they were supposed to be in the character's Gallery instead. Could you help clear my confusion? [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 02:00, 15 February 2019 (EST)

Are they really suppose to be there? It doesn't look right. Though, I could be mistaken. [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 04:30, 15 February 2019 (EST)

::Would you please explain why?

In fact, with characters like [[Ike]], there would still be the issue of whitespace, due to there only being one image in that gallery.

:General policy is to use interwiki links in infoboxes only when there's a NIWA wiki to link to, or else to Wikipedia, and only use links to Wikia wikis when no other wiki for the series is available - and even then, only to link them in an "External links" section at the bottom of the page.

::If it is not currently apart of the NIWA, then it can only link to a Wikipedia page of it? But then what exactly do you mean by, "only use links to Wikia wikis when no other wiki for the series is available". Are those non-NIWA wikis not able to be link outside of the "External links". We couldn't add the external links where the wiki would have been like Mario's? (it's unfortunate we can't provide shortcut links to these other [https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog wikis] in the [https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario same way] that would provide the reader with more sufficient information)

::Side note: Apparently there's talks that the ''Zelda'' Wiki may be removed from the NIWA wiki in the future. What would happen to all the ''Zelda'' links here if that were to pass?

==Spirits on Fighter Pages==

All fighters have Spirits on both their fighter and main character pages. I was wondering how they should look?

:Frankly, I think any listing of the spirits is going to be very bloated for some characters. After thinking it over, I'd recommend either using the gallery layout or, if using a tabular layout, having it in a show/hide box that's hidden by default so as not to stretch the page vertically too much.

On another note, should the "main Link" have ''all'' Link related Spirits? I ask as he currently does, while Young Link and Toon Link only have the ones that relate to ''them'' specifically.

:By "tabular" I just meant in a table, like what you posted for Peach; if done that way, I'd advise using a show/hide box like on [[Music (SSBU)]] (I still think the gallery format is a smidge less obtrusive, but eh). I also think the Link list should probably cover only those Links not explicitly considered Young Link or Toon Link, but that's pretty subjective.

What about on a fighter's ''Ultimate'' page? Should that be the exception? I tried copy pasting Peach's table to her fighter page, but I wasn't sure if it fit there. Trophies tend to be an exception on fighter pages being separate from their descriptions. I'm not entirely sure which to use on the main pages now.

A lot of characters' ''Ultimate'' section seem empty. With [[Inkling#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|a]] [[Link#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|few]] [[Inkling#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|exceptions]], a lot just say along the lines of, "returns as a playable character and not as a starting character". The "Gallery" may work, but I feel [[Jigglypuff#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|more]] [[Isabelle#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|information]] is needed in their ''Ultimate'' section for that to work. I know most characters' Melee sections are mainly filled by the trophies' descriptions, but Spirits don't have descriptions.

I know the Universe pages then to just [[Metroid_(universe)#Spirits|list them]] like the trophies, but I don't know if that would really work on character pages. Perhaps I am [[Link#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|over]] [[Princess_Peach#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|thinking]] this. [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 02:23, 21 February 2019 (EST)
:I set up a certain system: make it a gallery format, bold the fighter spirits, and italicize the fighter spirits obtained from classic. Hopefully that should work. Look on [[Link]]’s Ultimate section.

And about the empty character sections, I was planning on adding in the likes of female corrin and advent cloud into those, but that’s currently being debated on if that should even happen. While here would be whitespace, at the very least it could be organized and not completely empty. I don’t know if that’s the best suggestion though, as you’re the one who removed them in the first place. If there’s something else we can do, I guess we can wait for more tournament results.[[User:Lou Cena|Lou Cena]] ([[User talk:Lou Cena|talk]]) 02:38, 21 February 2019 (EST)
:Using the alternate art isn't really necessary, as using the main art is sufficient. Regardless, the Spirits have the same problem, if not less so, by creating white space as it is a "Gallery". With this, the white space is not caused by the Spirit gallery/table, it is caused by a lack of information of the section before the Spirit gallery. Notable players and tournament results go on the character's respective fighter pages, not their main page, of which I'm talking about. Despite that, there should be more information about the characters in Ultimate other than "they return" or "they used to be an assist". However, I do understand that many may not have enough info to fill it out. The main difference I see between the trophies and Spirits is the Spirits don't have descriptions to fill it out. The size of the table is determined by the text in it. That's why it's not that stretched out on Pichu's page, but it kind of is on Peach's.

:Now that I'm thinking about it again, we did not seem to have a problem with the Stickers doing it. Then again, sticker sections are kind of more horizontal than vertical. I mainly ask how we go about on the main character pages as many are adding the Spirit Tables on the wiki (plus a second one if it grants it. Fairy Bottle + All that give the user a Fairy Bottle) and will eventually do it to the fighter and main pages. Peach was the first. I had done Pikachu as an experiment do its small amount. (I feel it works on the non-fighter pages)

Let me rephrase my question: Should the fighter pages, and their main pages, be the exception and have their Spirits as a gallery instead some kind of a table? [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 03:43, 21 February 2019 (EST)
:In my opinion the preferred layout is to have the gallery on the character general page (and add a write-up about tourney stuff and general changes rather than leaving the section's body text too short), and not to list the spirits on the Character (SSBU) page at all because they're already on two other pages at that point (the character general page and the series spirit lists).

::To me, the Spirits look find on the (SSBU) fighter pages when shown as a gallery. But I guess removing them from their (SSBU) fighter pages could work as we don't include the stickers on any (SSBB) fighter page. Most likely because they too do not have descriptions. However, tourney related information is only ever noted in their [[Peach_(SSBM)#Notable_players|fighter pages]], not their [[Princess_Peach|main page]]. But I agree that more general information is needed in their [[Princess_Peach#In_Super_Smash_Bros._Ultimate|(SSBU) sections]]. I wonder if it would be possible to create a table like the [[Princess_Peach#Stickers|sticker table to be used for the Spirits]]. Honestly, [[Princess_Peach#Spirits|removing the pictures does makes it seem like the stickers]]. However, I do prefer how it is done with the stickers. [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 01:23, 22 February 2019 (EST)

:Another thing I'm curious about is the Spirits of the non-fighter pages. How would we go about them? For example: should item Spirits include the [[Fairy_Bottle#Spirits|ones that grant the item]], or just of itself? [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 01:23, 22 February 2019 (EST)
::The non-fighter pages are actually completely fine. I’m still a little iffy on removing the spirits from the ____ (SSBU) pages

== Spirit vs Infobox ==

Shouldn't the images used in the infoboxes be a different '''file''' than what is used for their Spirits? Someone can "Upload a new version of this file", but what if someone tries to do it with the image of the infobox without knowing it that it is also used for the Spirits? I know it is more common to upload a separate file, but that is why I keep putting in the summery along the lines of "to differ from Spirit". Like if someone were to update it the picture so it matches the character's recent or more accurate appearance? The stickers are different files. Yes they have a white outline, but still. I know its fine because the Spirit render is of higher quality, but it'd be nice to avoid things like [https://www.ssbwiki.com/File:MM3D_Full_Moon.png this file's history]. I know that was an AFD joke, but its still the same situation. What if someone was not aware of AFD were to replace the image with a duplicate? I usually try to find a different render to make the difference of the files and their usage more obvious. I know this wouldn't be the first, or last, time a file would have to be reuploaded because of this. I think it is necessary in order to avoid that. Is it really that bad of thing to make the files differ for those reasons? If so, please explain in detail so that I may properly understand the reasons. [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 15:37, May 30, 2019 (EDT)
:1) Spirit images should never be adjusted, as they're in-game file data and should by all accounts be included on a page like [[SmashWiki:Protected image list/Extracted files]]. 2) Infobox art should be changed sparingly at most. Unless a new game non-negligibly alters a character design AND said alteration is Smash-relevant, we can leave art as-is for years without issue.

<small>(resent indent)</small> While I understand the point about redundancy to an extent, certain pieces of official artwork are extremely iconic for a character and it would be a disservice to insist on using some less-prominent alternative just because Smash also used the same iconic art. Similarly, some characters have few pieces of official artwork and there's not really an alternative to use anyways. On top of all of that, spirit images are generally displayed at a relatively small size. So I think, in general, we should assume that sticker/spirit images, by nature of being pre-existing renders, may be slightly redundant, but that for various reasons that redundancy shouldn't be taken as a reason to change anything to do with the rest of the page. I hope that makes sense.<br>Edit conflict: I vehemently disagree with Aidan about adding duplicate files. If the spirit render is usable for multiple purposes, that's fine.

In such a case where consensus decides to replace infobox usage of a spirit image with a different piece of art, then the separate piece of art should be uploaded separately and the spirit image would remain untouched.

:"More recent" artwork is very rarely worthwhile unless the character's Smash design has changed and we need to use different art to match.

You seem to have misunderstood the point of the edit. I'm aware that it's technically correct to use they in that context, but it doesn't look right, nor does it read well. In these cases it's always better to avoid using pronouns at all where possible.

:If I may, that's an incredibly subjective point of view, and I think Miles is in the right here. It isn't "technically" correct, it's literally the proper way to refer to them. Removing pronouns just to avoid the singular they is even clumsier, in my opinion.

You said that this is not how it's done. What's the criteria then?

== Hello there ==

You're reverting my edits because it's a huge restructuration. I've started a discussion about it, and you know what happened, nobody replied to hit, just like always. People don't talk about huge restructuration, they don't want to, the only way to do a huge restructuration is to force it and to let other people make it better piece by piece. I know it for I already went throught one. It was the one about separating the spirit battles from their data. Nobody wanted to talk about it, so I just did it, and everybody agreed it was needed, once done. Now I'm gonna be very straight forward with you: it took me a huge amount of work to do all that today, so either you revert it before someone else changes the content of the page, or it's over, because I won't redo it all by myself after someone else make an edit that makes it impossible to revert your undo. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 15:56, January 31, 2020 (EST)

While I respect that you put in a lot of work, also understand that "nobody replied" is not "we have consensus to go for it". I for one vehemently oppose the restructuring as you did it. I did not use rollback because that's for cases of bad faith, which this clearly is not. I don't like feeling like I'm dismissing your effort, but there are standards for how to go about doing something like this and making sweeping changes across many, many pages without consensus is not the way to do things.

:Except this is not a huge change, it's just moving a column. It only looks huge because there are 1400 spirits. If I was doing so with a column about fighters data, you wouldn't even care.

::It's removing arguably the most important element of a spirit, the name of the source game, from the main table. I would be hard-pressed to think of a more major change.

::::I said "arguably" for a reason. While it's subjective, in my opinion the source game of the spirit and its artwork is of far greater importance than its literal gameplay numbers. And while you may not have removed this information altogether, you essentially "demoted" it out of the main table. My point is that it's not as clear-cut as you seem to think.

:::::Demoted? Wait what? I put it with similar informations that where already in the page. I'm not the one considering there is a "main" table, and I'm certainly not the one who decided that this array should be at the bottom of the page, don't blame this on me. If I were this kind of guy, I would have put the Spirit Battles array at the top of the page, that array is basically my very own baby. Origin Game was grouped with the gameplay numbers, as you say, very unfitting, meanwhile on the same page, there is another table that list the spirits series (all the spirits, without a separation by use), I simply removed an information from an inadequat place, and put it in beside another similar information. Origin Game and Series side by side, makes sense to me, nothing to do with demoting anything. [[User:YoshiRyu|YoshiRyu]] ([[User talk:YoshiRyu|talk]]) 17:00, January 31, 2020 (EST)
::::::I believe you've somewhat missed my point.

:::::::And you're missing mine. I'm not arguing about what information should be first. I'm arguing about Origin Game having nothing to do with Stats or Effect, and having more to do with Series. You want the Origin Game to be the first thing people see, fine, but I'm not interested in that discussion and it has nothing to do with the restructuration I was doing. But if you want to have my opinion on this, here it is: A wiki purpose is to allow people to find the informations they're looking for, and I'm pretty sure most of the people who click on the spirits list are more interested in the gameplay numbers than in the spirit history, and I'm pretty sure that the most important information in the whole page is Acquisition, because mostly, users will come here to find out how to get the spirits they're missing. But yet again, my restructuration has nothing to do with that, I wasn't demoting anything, I was reorganising the informations in a more cohesive way, and by doing so, allowing both the Primary Spirits array to be expended (because the sorting feature can't be used on a single stats column) and the Artwork Origin to be its own column (not my own idea, but I adopted it as soon as I saw Capstalkers starting to do it).

The only times I've ever been able to do some big work have always been by being the source of the change, and then let people iterate on what I made.

Getting a consensus in a talk, that never happens, the only thing close to a consensus I ever saw here is contributors starting helping for a modification started by someone else. All the discussions I've ever seen here always ended in postponing (and maybe we should stop talking about this here, that's another user talk page, it will drive him crazy, if you want to discuss this with me, probably better to next reply on my own talk page).

-Litterally more than a year later: Not a single contributor has provided an opinion on the topic... So please tell me, how do I get a consensus? Waiting for a consensus does not work, the wiki is not well designed for such a validation process. So in the end, I proposed to rework the spirit pages to make them less bloated and more readable, and it has been denied on the sole reason that a single mod didn't agree. So please tell me, while you keep telling everywhere that mods aren't above the other contributors, why is it that Miles got the right to deny my proposition based on the sole reason that he didn't liked it (for personnal reason on top of it) while I was expected to have many people to validate it? Please tell me again how it is fair that I have to get a consensus while he only can say "no" without himself having to get a consensus to deny the proposition?

-:Generally speaking you need to get people to agree that a change to the status quo is superior to what currently exists, or else the status quo will remain. That's a feature, not a bug, designed to keep long-running systems or organization from being altered too easily.

-::Specifically speaking, it doesn't work on a wiki, because there is no notification system that let know people there is an open topic going on to being with, a wiki is not an actual forum. Simply put, how do you get people to agree (or disagree) to a change when people aren't even aware there is a change proposed? My point is still the same about it than one year prior: A wiki is not designed for such a validation process to work, people don't know there are pending topics, people don't scout every single page to check if there are pending discussions. In this very case, pretty much nobody ever check the "List of Spirits hub" talk page, so much that if I wanted people to comment on it, I would better have copy-pasted the talk on every single series page, quite spamy if you ask me. Also, sidenote, reworking a page layout doesn't qualify as changing the status quo to me.
-::By the way, your main point was that you wanted the "origin games" to remain on top of the page, which is something didn't even care about. All I wanted was to move the origin col out of the stats arrays and group them with the series col as it make more sense to group series and origin games than to put it with the power and defense and others spirits stats. And while I don't think your reason for wanting the origin games to remain on top really matters, I however think that it could make sense to have such a series+origin array first but for a totaly different reason: It would not be a bad idead to have those pages to start with a "complete list" of the spirits rather than several arrays that are alreay separated by spirit types. So in the end, I would even agree with the order: series+origin, fighter/primary/support/master spirits, battles, and then "per spirit" trivia points (to separate the spirit inspiration from the battle data, and allow people to put inspirations that are outside of the range of the battle itself, as why such spirit as such effect and stuffs, something about which people keep add and remove lines in the pages).

-== Rapetent ==
-So it looks like six months ago you and Serpent King decided to remove the word "Rapetent" from the Hyrule Castle page, and also delete the redirect article "Rapetent", going against the precedent and consensus that was set before and violating numerous wiki policies along the way. I'm going to call out Serpent King too but I will keep the discussion on this page for the sake of clarity, and because you have absolutely no excuse for your actions.
-This is a violation of Wiki policy in so many ways and I will list them all here.
-*[[SW:ADMIN]] states that administrators are not kings. [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Hyrule_Castle&oldid=1470793 Your edit summary] on the page claims that it was an "executive decision," however SmashWiki administrators have no authority to make executive decisions on content-related matters such as here.
-*It has been clearly stated that [[SmashWiki is not censored]], and that we will not remove offensive terminology from articles because of this.
-*[[SW:DELETE]] states that administrators are not allowed to delete articles that do not fall into a speedy delete category without discussion beforehand. Serpent King deleted the [[Rapetent]] article with an edit summary of "No." which is a blatant abuse of administrators, while completely ignoring the multiple times the page has been deleted and recreated already.
-*[[SW:CONSENSUS]] and [[SW:1RV]] both state that decisions made by a community consensus will stand as is unless new information or discussion arises that changes the situation. As SmashWiki has had no meaningful changes to the censorship policy in recent times, this clearly does not apply here. A notice was literally '''written''' in the article saying "do not remove this information because we are not censored", and you chose to completely ignore it, going against the consensus that was decided. Administrators cannot create consensus on their own.
-*In case you might have forgotten, we had [[User_talk:Miles_of_SmashWiki/Archive13#Get_informed|a lengthy discussion]] over seven years ago, where you were called out for abusing your powers to remove and delete content that you didn't like while ignoring the no censorship policies. So why do you feel like you can go ahead and delete it now seven years later, when nothing has changed at all since that discussion and you've supposedly "admitted your faults" and "improved" from the experience? Do you think that just because Omega Tyrant was on hiatus that you could do whatever you want and ignore his discussion (further reinforcing the opinion that you look down upon regular users and only listen to administrators)? Are you really improving, or are you just abusing your administrative powers to get rid of content that you don't like? Do you really think that lowly of the current userbase?

-== April Fools submission ==
-:I have an April Fools submission I'd like to send for the "Dependent Universes" section of [[List of minor third-party universes]]. This will continue off a gag I did the previous year which was a joke about non-game franchises. I may add more to this once the day comes (if I even remember to add it), but here's a mock-up - it would be added alongside the existing dependent universes in alphabetical order.
-*'''''Sam and Friends''''' is an early puppetry television show that aired locally in the Washington DC area between 1955 and 1961. [[Greninja|Kermit the Frog]] debuted in this program.
-*'''''The Tracey Ullman Show''''' is a variety sketch show aired on Fox between 1987 and 1990. The Simpson family made their debut in the animated segments of this series.
-*'''''Love, American Style''''' is an anthology comedy series that aired between 1969 and 1974. The Fonz debuted in ''Love and the Television Set'', a segment that aired on an episode of this program.

-== Boss name sources ==
-Per your edit on the Dracula page, the boss name sources are from "Dairantou Smash Brothers X: The Complete Guide" (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズX ザ・コンプリートガイド) for Brawl's bosses and "Dairantou Smash Brothers SPECIAL Official Guide" (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ SPECIAL　オフィシャルガイド) for Ultimate's. The former is published by Dengeki Nintendo, a Japanese Nintendo magazine, and the latter is published by Kadokawa, which is a major Japanese publisher. Both are officially licensed by Nintendo, similar to something Prima or Nintendo Power would have put out back when physical strategy guides were more of a thing over here.
-I'm sourcing the name from Japanese wikis that cite said guides, so it's a secondary source as it's a bit expensive to buy the guides from Japan, but I've cross-referenced the names on over a dozen different websites to ensure that the names are real and accurate and from what I can tell, all the move names are used pretty universally across the Japanese internet (citing the guides each time) and I have no reason to believe they're fan-made. [[User:BubbleRevolution|BubbleRevolution]] ([[User talk:BubbleRevolution|talk]]) 19:45, June 17, 2021 (EDT)
-:I'm not realistically expecting you to purchase a Japanese guide. Rather, I just have my doubts about the "official" status of them. Personally, since the names in several cases don't match up with very well-established canon names from other sources, I find the listings to be at least somewhat dubious. If you want them re-instated, I suggest making a particular talk page post on the subject on one of the boss pages if you think I'm in a minority position on this.

-::I do agree with your concern that some of them don't match up perfectly, but I'm assuming a lot of those are just descriptors used for one reason or another. However, for a lot of the move names (namely the bosses original to Smash) there are literally no other move name sources. The move names are in an officially licensed and published book from as far as I can tell, and I feel totally writing them off completely due to some more generic descriptors for certain attacks with established names is just throwing away information.

-It appears a recently deleted image (ThegameandwatchUserboxIcon.png) is back in use. Seems the user commented out the page it was on, leading to it being "unused". Should it be restored if possible? --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 22:28, June 17, 2021 (EDT)
-== "Color" or "Colour" ==
-I had brought up in the SSBU Alts page that were using the spelling "Colour" instead of "Color". When I pointed it out, it would have appeared the reasoning why it was change was because Smash used "grey" instead of "gray". Because it was already consistent the way it was before, someone reverted it back to the American spelling. Looking at Manual of Style, there seems to be no preference as long as it is consistent in the article. I ask this as I see a 62 other pages using "Colour" when searching the spelling on the Wiki. Do we just change it to whatever is used the most in the article if more than one spelling is currently used in it? [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 02:26, July 2, 2021 (EDT)

-Trying to avoid edit warring, but your edit is factually wrong. Literally on ZeldaWiki's {{iw|zeldawiki|Toon Link}} article: "Toon Link's... design is based on Link's more recent "cartoon" appearance starting with '''Four Swords''' and The Wind Waker". Further supported by the fact that in some regions, Four Swords was released before Wind Waker.

[[Special:Contributions/Black Vulpine|<span style="color: #CC5500">'''Furries make the internets go! :3'''</span>]] 20:20, July 19, 2021 (EDT)
-:Four Swords nominally came out first, but just barely (less than 2 weeks difference) and the art style was clearly developed for Wind Waker first with the Four Swords component being thrown onto the port of A Link to the Past after Wind Waker was well into development. It's evidently a "Wind Waker artstyle" that happened to get a tie-in that technically came out first, and that technicality doesn't really change that it wasn't originally created for Four Swords.

-::I would argue that's more of a technicality than just saying they both came out at the same time. In Korea and Japan, yes, Wind Waker did come before Four Swords, but the opposite is true for US, Europe, and Australia. It would be far simpler to just say the design debuted in both those games, especially since ZeldaWiki says the same.

-:::Given that Wind Waker is a main 3D game with a much longer development cycle, as opposed to Four Swords being a secondary addendum to a port, combined with Smash featuring Wind Waker substantially more prominently, I think we can leave this pedantic nitpick to the Toon Link infobox where it already is and ignore it otherwise.
