I have email notifications turned on for whenever someone edits my talkpage, so even if I'm not around, I will be notified and will come around to check it out. You can also find me on Discord, where I go by the same name and have an avi of R.O.B. holding a Cacodemon plushie. If it's urgent and I'm not on here nor on the Discord, you can try messaging me on my [https://twitter.com/TheOmegaTyrant Twitter], my [http://www.youtube.com/user/OmegaTyrant4792 Youtube], and my [https://xx.reddit.com/user/OmegaTyrant/ reddit account]. You can also private message me on Discord, on those latter three accounts, and on email, if you want to speak to me privately for whatever reason.

I play Ultimate with anyone that challenges me, regardless of their skill level, as long as your internet connection is decent and you don't whine when you lose. If you want to play me, contact me here or on one of the other suggested contact methods.

== Two things ==

(1)Many of my edits are usually erased, why does this keep happening?

(2)Do you have the 3ds version of Smash 4 or the Wii u version? I think I might want to challenge you sometime, but I only have the 3ds version.[[User:Rimigafob|Rimigafob]] ([[User talk:Rimigafob|talk]]) 13:45, 10 May 2017 (EDT)

:If you edits are getting reverted, you should read the edit summary of the edits reverting yours to see why your edit got reverted. And I have both versions, but as said on my userpage, I really dislike 3DS controls for Smash, so I won't play people on the 3DS version. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 01:35, 11 May 2017 (EDT)

== Flame Choke ==

Hey, a while back I made [[Ganondorf (SSBB)/Side special|the page]] for Flame Choke in ''Brawl'', but I'm not certain that I got the followups right. My test was time-consuming, but also fairly rudimentary, so I am not sure if all of it is accurate. I'm under the impression that you are familiar with Ganon in ''Brawl''. Would you mind checking it out when you get the chance? <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">HUAH!</span>]]</b> 17:19, 21 May 2017 (EDT)

==''Brawl'' matchups==

Second off, I need your help involving [[Forum:Removing matchups from character pages|this forum]]. As someone who I definitely know was heavily invested in ''Brawl's'' metagame to the very end, probably moreso than anyone else on the Wiki, is the [[Character_matchup_(SSBB)|matchup chart for ''Brawl'']] still relatively accurate, given the relative stagnancy of the metagame since its publication, or is it pretty out-of-date?

::Thanks for your input, it's much appreciated.

::It seems we mostly missed each other back in Summer to Fall of 2016, when I last got back into editing after my departure in early 2015. I never truly disappear from SmashWiki, I just take leaves of absence, whether it's from schoolwork, boredom with ''Smash'', or similar matters. It's a shame you're not as active as you once were, I miss your arse-kicking as an admin, but hey, real life comes first. Thanks for everything you've done.

==Legitimacy of set wins==

Hi! I was referred to you in the wake of some confusion as to how we are to classify Charliedaking's set against ZeRo at MSM 104, which Charlie won 2-0. To this point, it's been in practice that we add a short sentence detailing the win on ZeRo in the main blurb of any player with a win on ZeRo (Joe Smash is the Xth player to take a set off of ZeRo, doing so at WhereverCon 20XX, etc). We'd normally chalk this down as the 26th player with that win, except this is the first time the win has happened in which ZeRo was ONLY playing his secondaries. The person I was discussing it with listed you as an admin knowledgeable on the competitive scene enough to determine the process for this, specifically:

*Do we or do we not count this win as "a win on ZeRo" in the same way as all the others?

*If we do not, what specifically ''do'' we count as "a win on ZeRo," other than entirely subjective reasons or a case-by-case basis?

*Should the more recent/less notable wins on ZeRo even have a place in their blurb outside of ZeRo's name being a part of their list of notable wins? (In response to this specifically, I made [[User:Pespeon/List of players who have taken a set off of ZeRo|a subpage]] that could potentially be used in place of these blurbs, perhaps as some sort of "See also" to ZeRo's page or the pages of any of them.)

[[User:Pespeon|Pespeon]] ([[User talk:Pespeon|talk]]) 05:35, 11 July 2017 (EDT)

:Originally, I wasn't going to comment on here, but when you created the userpage, I was reminded of [[Forum:Smashers that have taken a game off of ZeRo|this failed proposal]]. OT left his thoughts about it on there, too.

:TL;DR: Singling out ZeRo is probably not the best course of action. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 05:46, 11 July 2017 (EDT)

:I echo what I said before on the topic Jamal linked that wins on Zero shouldn't be singled out as something especially special, as there are too many people who have beaten him to have treated it as such, and if we're going to track individual wins and losses in depth, we should be tracking entire records between players so it's not just trivia. As for if we should refer to the win at all on CDK's page as if it was a standard win, no as Zero was explicitly going secondaries to practise them in what was ultimately just a weekly, and no one with common sense would consider such a win with the usual weight. Not to mention that rating systems like the PGR don't count weeklies in their system as it is. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 21:53, 11 July 2017 (EDT)

== SSBU character pages ==

We added notice templates to all SSBU character pages explaining not to add data values as they are subject to change. And as per your proposal, we removed specefic data claims (like specific amounts of damage % and frames); however, we did not know if that also meant all mentions of general buffs or nerfs should be removed (like just generally saying Mario's fireballs do more damage, as a made up example).

Also, as per [[SmashWiki is not speculative]], shouldn't all the SSBU character pages be semi-protected? "''Major articles about unreleased content (such as character articles) will be immediately semi-protected until release to prevent speculation.''" And one more thing, shouldn't SSBU's [[Alternate costume (SSBU)|alternate costumes]] page be semi-protected too since all the other ones are? Thank you.

== Do you know about any info for the 2nd tier list discussion? ==

Since you're both an admin here and an active competitive player, do you know if and when the 2nd tier list discussion would start? I have an idea for how the tier lists could be averaged: each tier placement is worth however many points the ranking is, then the add up the points from each tier list, with the final aggregated list being in reverse order of how many points each character has. As for getting the tier numbers such as S, A, etc, with 86 slots on the character select screen, plus 5 for using just Pyra/Mythra or one Pokemon Trainer pokemon, there are 91 spots on the tier list, enough to have exactly 13 characters per tier if there are 7 tiers. I asked Toomai last month with the same suggestions, but he hasn't replied to it, so I'm wondering if you know anything about when the actual discussion would start, if it would be closed to non-vote suggestions like the last one, or my suggestion is reasonable. [[Special:Contributions/72.219.72.215|72.219.72.215]] 20:45, March 18, 2021 (EDT)

:I'm not involved with whatever Toomai is planning, so I'm just as much in the dark about it as everyone else is. For what you suggested, I will say though that having the same amount of characters in every tier isn't how tiers are supposed to work; the purpose of tiers are to represent where the relative gaps in viability are, rather than as a means to just arbitrarily organize each character. There is no real limit to the amount of characters that could appropriately go into the same tier, you could really have everyone in one tier if they were all around the same viability, and to arbitrary limit how many characters go into each tier is just misrepresenting how viable each character is (same reason the "top 5/top 10/top whatever" tiers that are popular in personal tier lists are really stupid and is a trend that should die). <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 21:10, March 18, 2021 (EDT)

I was wondering if you were planning on updating [[User:Omega Tyrant/Clone charts|your clone charts]] for ''Ultimate'' (and possibly ''Smash 4''). <span style="font-family:Formata Regular">[[User:RickTommy|<span style="color:red">Rick</span>]][[User talk:RickTommy|<span style="color:green">Tommy</span>]]</span> 21:51, March 18, 2021 (EDT)

:Probably not, while I did things a bit differently than how Toomai handled his "cloneosity" page and so it wouldn't be entirely redundant (namely considering how the moves function and the characters' movement/physics), it would ultimately probably come to the same conclusions on how to categorize each clone even if the percentages differ, and I'm not really interested in arguing over minute details, especially when my method is more open to interpretation than Toomai's and so would attract more argumentation. Wiki arguments, especially of the pointless variety, played a large part in burning me out long ago and leading to the subsequent inactivity, so whenever I've been around since the post-Smash 4 era I tended to avoid arguments when I can. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 22:09, March 18, 2021 (EDT)

== Whoops. ==

Nope, I didn't have a backup nor a draft. I wasn't aware I'd need to do that. The best I have are a very limited number of snippets from the various pages I pranked.

HOWEVER, as long as that imgur album exists, I could, in theory, replicate it as long as I have the page histories to reference, but it would be extremely tedious.

:It's not necessary, so it's not something you need to do, it just would be something nice to have to look back on.

== Do you remember when Zelda was revealed for Melee? ==

Since Zelda was the only starter character who wasn't revealed at E3 2001, I'm curious about when she was actually revealed. I put in her page regular and melee pages that she was unofficially revealed when the box art was since I couldn't find any other melee marketing videos, but I don't know for certain since I wasn't born when melee came out. Since you were born 10 years before melee's release, was there a Nintendo magazine that revealed Zelda, or is the exact date and/or method of her reveal a complete mystery?

:::::::Technology advances, old tech becomes obsolete, it's not the 2000s anymore where the only means of communication off the wiki was email and cumbersome IRC that only a dozen or less wiki users actually used. Even then, say all six of the current admins here check the noticeboard every two hours with no sleep or time away doing anything else, an already clearly unreasonable amount of time to expect admins to devote to the noticeboard; that's at least 12 hours every day that a vandal report will not be noticed and the vandal will be able to run amok, whereas if you just ping the admins in Discord as soon as you notice a vandal, an admin can see that vandal in minutes as long as at least one admin is around. That is obsolesce for the purpose of reporting vandals.

:::::::Most people here already use it, and it is not unreasonable to just ping the admins for something when you need an immediate response, when it already has been explained how it is going to be always much faster than hoping someone refreshes the noticeboard.

Most wiki matters are already discussed there that don't require more thorough discussion.

:::::::Already went through how Discord does not inherently prevent this, but you also know if you just report a vandal in Discord as soon as you see them and so they can be blocked immediately, they won't be able to build up any rapport.

:::::::Another thing is I do not see why you and others are treating the block length of an IP vandal as such a big deal. Worst case scenario, they immediately vandalize upon their block wearing off... and then they're just reverted and blocked again for longer, with nothing worse for wear. In over the decade I've had adminship here, I never seen anyone before raise a complaint that an IP's block length was ''too short''.

:::::::"''in my opinion it should notify all admins in the same way talk page notifications work, but that's not likely to happen''"

<small>Indent reset</small> I won't argue that Discord is definitely the more convenient and foolproof way to quickly alert an admin to a rampant vandal ruining everyone's day, but that doesn't change the fact that the Wiki does have a reasonably convenient built-in Noticeboard that it promotes as, verbatim, "a page to quickly alert the administrators to issues that need their attention." For reporting clear vandals, [[SW:VANDAL]] does mention a sysop's talk page, and I'll go ahead and update it to include Discord, but if the Noticeboard is simply superseded in its role, we should either reverse that supersession somehow, or formally acknowledge that fact in Wiki policy - because as far as I know (correct me if I'm super blind), up to this point the Wiki has not formally and intuitively promoted social media as a way to report urgent need for admin action.

:It's just common sense, if something needs an immediate response and you have access to something that lets you directly notify someone whose help you need, you should go and utilize it instead of just waiting around for one to log onto the wiki and check a specific page. Notifying via Discord can be mentioned in those pages, but people should not have needed a policy page to spell out and "promote" to them that Discord will get them faster responses, and indeed they haven't; most of the time I am effectively notified by someone pinging the admins on Discord about vandals or another urgent matter, while for whatever reason no one pinged about this specific IP until Cookies did, who was not aware either of their prior history (looking through old messages on Discord I seen NPM post about the IP, but without any context and without any ping, so it got missed).

:Also:

:"''"a page to quickly alert the administrators to issues that need their attention."''"

:This was written years ago, before the SmashWiki Discord server existed, and even then "quickly alert" was never a good word to use here, as there is no inherent "quickness" to waiting until someone checks the page; even back in the IRC days people would often directly notify admins of vandals through it because an instant messenger is always inherently faster.

:"''we should either reverse that supersession somehow''"

:There's nothing that will "reverse" its obsolesce, nor should that be desired when you can't get any faster response time than what an instant messenger offers. We have more and better tools at our disposal than before to effectively maintain the wiki, and they should not be neglected in favor of sticking to just what the MediaWiki software can offer. There's nothing wrong with posting on the noticeboard as a means of keeping record, but realistically any urgent report should not be without direct notification on Discord, you just can't beat its response time with pure wiki patrolling without having a NEET admin with no life that's content to refresh recent changes 24/7. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:59, March 29, 2022 (EDT)

::::(edit conflict) That's of course understandable. Wiki editing is a hobby, not a job, so obviously we can't expect admins to always be around However sometimes reports go unresolved for days or even weeks. Given that there's pretty much always some point during the day where at least one admin comes onto the wiki to check on things, that still means admins seemingly aren't checking the noticeboard, even when they do have the time to log onto the wiki.

:::::The point is that Discord now exists, all the admins are on there alongside most users, and that relying solely on the noticeboard is a blatantly outdated system that will never get remotely as quick of responses no matter how much it's checked.

== Question ==

A few months ago, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Lucas&diff=1721890&oldid=1712943 I changed the most recent appearances] of Lucas, Ness, and Dark Pit to Mario Maker 1 (and somebody else did the same to Palutena, as I was unaware that her 2nd most recent non-smash appearance was before Mario Maker 1), as I felt it was the cause of a [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Lucas&diff=1712619&oldid=1712617 frankly gross trivia point] that Lucas only has one non-smash appearance or when he's clearly visible in Mario Maker 1.

A week ago, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Ness&diff=prev&oldid=1743772 I found it reverted as "discussed to death"]. I see discussion on [[Talk:Ness]] and [[User_talk:Miles_of_SmashWiki/Archive16#Most_Recent_Appearances|an old user talk page]], but nowhere else, and most of the dislike towards counting Mario Maker seems to be started by one user [[User:Toomai/Miles-OT survey results|I read about]] [[SmashWiki:Requests for bureaucratship/Miles of SmashWiki|you two having beef]] with each other as Mario Maker 1 was coming out, which is why I want to ask you for your opinion on this situation.

I also gave the examples of sprites on a character's shirt in my edit summaries, but something I just found out was that a couple sprites directly taken from Mario Maker costumes (meaning the exact same appearances) do make non-costume cameos on walls in some kingdoms, which you can collect for coins. This doesn't affect Mario of Peach since they're in the game anyways, but MarioWiki does count this as a cameo for Rosalina, who otherwise isn't in the game (this wasn't added here, but it doesn't really matter since this is long past and her next appearance was in a month anyways). Link also reappears in Mario Maker 2 with the same sprite, and [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Link&diff=prev&oldid=1330428 people correctly counted that], but not Mario Maker 1 for other characters, despite, as I mentioned, being the exact same sprite.

:Also, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Ness&diff=prev&oldid=1745807 don't do shit like this], hidden editing notes are supposed to be used to explain any peculiarities about editing something specific, to note that some information shouldn't be added like unwanted personal information on a smasher page, or to note that something particularly contentious shouldn't be changed without discussion, ''they are not for the purpose of justifying your own edit''. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 03:45, December 7, 2022 (EST)

The borders in some of the Smash 64 screenshots exist in the game's video signal and are preserved when taking a direct screenshot through an emulator without graphics mods. While removing after the fact would be trivial, it does run into one of the "other concepts" on [[SW:IMAGE]] of not modifying screenshots. If the removal of blank space is going to be treated as an exception, then it should be mentioned on the policy.

Somewhat related but not specific to this, putting a maintenance tag without putting a reason in the tag is not helpful unless it is blatantly obvious what needs fixing. While you did give your reasoning in the edit summary, no one should need to look at that to know what is needed. Too often have I had to go back and track down 3-5 year old summaries when it could've been in plain sight. If I or someone else came along years later and saw a bare tag, we may reach the same conclusion as Aidan and remove it. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 14:32, March 17, 2023 (EDT)

:Also it's weird you're going to try to lecture me about that like I don't know how maintenance tags work when I been here for far longer than you and told off people several times for not writing down proper reasons in their maintenance tags, while several of my edits have also been fixing maintenance tags that didn't have a proper reasoning in them prior. I didn't write down a reasoning in these specific tags here because it is evident why those images are low quality (blank borders have never been desirable in screenshots). Trying to tell an admin off for such a trivial thing I'm well aware of comes off as you trying to one-up me or something. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:53, March 17, 2023 (EDT)

:::I don't particularly have much to add to this discussion, but I can at least say that I would have gotten zero indication that the reason you marked the image as low quality was because of the borders without you clarifying such, especially given that the point of that screenshot is to show the "SUDDEN DEATH" text, which is in clear view even as is.

::::An image just being able to "clearly" (big quotation marks given how shite the resolution of that screenshot is) show the sudden death text for a sudden death article wouldn't make it a desirable image (e.g. we wouldn't accept a screenshot cropped to only have the sudden death text visible), we still want the screenshots to actually look good, part of which should clearly mean not having borders of black space around an image. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 20:00, March 17, 2023 (EDT)

By the way, should borderless images be enforced, I wanted to ask what should be done with these sets of images in particular, as they're what come to mind at the moment:

*I'm assuming that all the images in [[:Category:Subspace Emissary cutscenes]] would be cropped. Still, with all the [[:File:Wolf_Subspace.png|edit warring]] about this exact issue, I just wanted to be sure.

*Would all the images in [[:Category:Congratulations screens (SSBM)]] be cropped? They were originally uploaded as low quality JPEG screenshots, and were replaced by manually converting the original, quasi-JPEG files found in the ''Melee'' disk. However, they all have black borders as part of the image data. As to not upload 75+ JPEG-artifacted PNGs to replace them, they were uploaded as is. Consequently, editing them is not feasible without worsening the quality further. Should they be edited? And if so, how should they be reuploaded?

*What should be done about the images in [[:Category:Congratulations screens (SSB4-3DS)]]? I'm assuming the images contain the golden borders themselves like the ''Melee'' screens. Regardless, unlike the other two categories, these all have an image border rather than a plain black one. Would they be treated any differently from images with plain borders?

:*Ah Brandondorf, hard to tell in that case if the people weren't just reverting him because it was Brandondorf (who was infamous at the time for fucking with screenshots on the wiki by editing them far more than just removing borders, such as messing with their saturation or blowing up their size as a substitute for "higher resolution"), while I'm also sensing PSIWolf was being overprotective of "his" image (while his friends then joined in to "defend" it from Brandondorf). The people reverting Brandondorf are claiming the borders a part of the scene, but taking a look on youtube, I'm seeing videos of the cutscenes without any borders, so I don't know if it was just those users' emulator settings rather than the picture of Brawl's video files actually inherently having the borders. In any case though, I would prefer new, higher resolution screenshots taken that don't have the borders to begin with if possible (the linked Wolf cutscene example isn't even 480p), rather than just cropping the old screenshots.

:*Converting a JPG to a PNG shouldn't worsen the quality as long as the right settings are used, like I just took one of those images and [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/623510042808680473/1086544473758105701/BowserAdventureMode.png converted it to a PNG], while there was then absolutely no discernible degradation in quality post-conversion compared to the original JPG. For one more thing, I took a look at the source for one of the original screenshots that didn't have the black borders, and it was from [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0222/omake.html the official site itself], that seems to be an admittance that the borders weren't any sort of "developer's intent" or anything like that. So in this case, I would again say to preferably not have the borders in these images.

:*I would say this is a definite different case, as such borders were deliberately put there by the devs as part of the presentation rather than just being blank space to fill an aspect ratio that may or may not be visible depending on how the game is actually viewed, and when [https://youtu.be/xvPg9PzDHrg?t=721 looking at it ingame], you can clearly see how the gold border is a part of the image by how it moves up with the screenshot as the credits go on. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 03:25, March 18, 2023 (EDT)

::Pretty much in the same boat as Nokii. Do want to add some things regarding the other things.

::*Viewing the movies in Dolphin shows the borders. Taking screens via Dolphin will give 832x476px pictures and the image in the borders is roughly 770x414px (roughly because the edge isn't perfectly sharp because of the next sentence). Viewing and screening the files in VLC shows no borders and gives 576x416px (18:13, almost 4:3) which are then stretched to widescreen in-game. The name cards are also added in after the fact. The video files are THP files (the "quasi-JPGs" Nokii mentioned) and are essentially comprised of a series of JPG files, meaning they will always have some artifacting. I can get behind getting new images for these, but the details need to be worked out.

::*The black borders for the Melee files also have a tiny amount bleeding into them from the main portion. I personally see these as sprite rips and thus shouldn't be altered. JPGs ''can'' be cropped losslessly without causing extra artifacting, but you need special software and it can only be done in increments of 8 pixels due to how JPGs encode data (borders here are 16 pixels if you ignore the bleed over, so that works out). In the past I've used {{iw|wikipedia|libjpeg}} (command line) and {{iw|wikipedia|IrfanView}} (requires plugin for JPG cropping).

== Am I doing something actively wrong or are you just closely watching the recent changes? ==

I'm noticing that often when I edit, you either add on to my edit or revert it within minutes, even if the "who's online" section didn't list you, and when you do revert something you usually use strong language. I want to check to see if I was problematic and the strong language is because of that (given how there is an option to watch a specific user), or if you were just closely watching the recent changes and the semi-common usage of the word "shit" is just something you usually do.

:I've been simply looking at recent changes a lot lately, I'm not watching nor targeting any specific users, and naturally someone who edits a lot will have their edits frequently looked over, and then the page being edited farther and their own edits being reverted for whatever reason. My "foul mouth" is nothing targeted towards you, and a cursory look at other posts of mine that have nothing to do you will show that. "Who's online" is also not reliable for showing who is online browsing at that exact moment, so you shouldn't put more stock into it other than "the user loaded a tab on SmashWiki some time very recently".

== Permission to turn my attribute data subpage into a project ==

I recently made a [[User:Unnamed anon/AllCharAttributes|subpage to organize all of the character's attributes before putting them on every fighter page]], as from what I can see on [[Template talk:Attributes]] this info should be on all fighter pages, though the actual template format had disagreements (though I hope my additions to Attributes1 could work out). However, I don't have the patience nor willpower to add in every characters attributes by myself, plus Brawl and 64 are missing double jump/short hop data, which means I can't actually start on brawl and 64. I see there's a [[smashwiki:Project|project category]] to get help on this, but it's only present on 4 pages; can I have permission to add it there?
