==Outdated template==
Hi Serpent King, I noticed that the smash arena Discord thingy (whatever you call it) is outdated (focusing on Round 32). Is that necessarily a problem? [[User:Son Daniel|<span style="font-family: Arial;color:red;">SonDaniel</span>]][[File:SonDanielSignatureHead1.png|20px]][[File:SonDanielSignatureHead2.png|20px]] ([[User talk:Son Daniel|talk page]]) 19:43, January 19, 2021 (EST)

It isn't necessarily a problem, but it's just that it's never been touched, so expect it to be outdated in the current round. If it's a problem for you, I have updated it already to the current round.

==Would it be safe to unprotect the echo fighter pages?==
From what I understand, the Ultimate pages for the echo fighters and Dr. Mario were indefinitely protected because a persistent guy named memoryman3 would constantly demoralize the echo fighters' differences and claim Dr. Mario wasn't more unique than he was, and would keep coming back despite having multiple accounts banned. [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/community/real-memoryman3 he hasn't been active for a while], so since you were the one who protected those pages, would you say it is safe to unprotect [[Dr. Mario (SSBU)]], [[Lucina (SSBU)]], [[Dark Pit (SSBU)]], [[Chrom (SSBU)]], [[Ken (SSBU)]], [[Dark Samus (SSBU)]], [[Daisy (SSBU)]], [[Richter (SSBU)]], [[Clone]], [[Princess Daisy]], and [[Galeem]]?

:[https://mobile.twitter.com/memoryman31?lang=en His twitter is inactive too] . Considering how this guy seemed to be the reason why the echo fighter pages were protected, I think it's safe to lift protection now. [[Special:Contributions/72.219.72.215|72.219.72.215]] 14:19, February 17, 2021 (EST)

:Like I said in the Discord, this IP has a good point here, and those pages have been protected for over two years now, I think it's time we relax the protections. Worst case scenario and this IP is Memoryman pulling the long con or Memoryman is just lurking in the shadows and waiting to strike, we can just revert the edits and re-implement the protections. <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 ]] 00:50, February 18, 2021 (EST)
::You can actually confirm I'm not memoryman by checking my IP location to see I'm in the United States, while memoryman is british according to smashboards and gamefaqs. Also, I forgot to mention these, but would the same apply to the [[clone]] page [[Daisy]]'s non-fighter page, and [[Galeem]] as well? I don't have any immediate plans to edit these pages (unless Pyra and Mythra turn out to be seniclones), but it just seems like the misconceptions that led to the protection of these pages were primarily from one troll who isn't active anymore, and those that were from other people were because of inconsistencies with the Echo Fighter label that are just kind of accepted now.

== "offensive and not commonly used" ==

Firstly, Rapetent is not an uncommonly used phrase. Search "rapetent smash bros" on Google and you will find tons of results all mentioning it on places like Smashboards and reddit. Secondly, I do not understand why you are choosing to blatantly ignore [[SW:DELETE]] and [[SmashWiki is not censored]] to misuse your admin powers to keep the page the way you want. If you have an issue with the word "Rapetent," go suggest an amendment to the censorship policy instead of ignoring all discussion on the subject altogether.

Also, you protected the page to keep a revision that you like, while completely ignoring previously decided consensus? Do you not remember the [[Talk:Marth (SSB4)|Marth incident]] that you were a part of and directly complained about? '''[[User:Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">Awesome</span>]] [[User talk:Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">Cardinal 2000</span>]]''' 18:30, March 9, 2021 (EST)

:I searched it like you said and found that the first page of results were: 1 in 2019, 1 in 2016, 2 in 2015, and 2 in 2013. From this we can conclude that the term hasn't been used often at all recently, and for good reason. 
:And despite what you claim, I do find your reversion to be in violation of 1rv. <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> 18:34, March 9, 2021 (EST)

::SmashWiki goes by a "once notable always notable" policy, just because a term is not used as frequently now doesn't mean it wasn't relevant in the past. And just because a term was used more frequently in the early 2000s and 2010s, when the Internet was significantly less developed now, does not mean that it isn't as encyclopedic as something that gets used today. Also, SW:1RV states that an exception to the rule is made "In the event of a user making an edit which goes against decisions arrived upon in previous discussions." The previous discussions made it clear that the word "Rapetent" would remain in the article, and even put in a notice saying to not remove it, and you went and deleted the page completely ignoring that consensus.

:::::I don't see how removing an offensive term which is hardly even used anymore would make the wiki stop being "encyclopedic". What policy even states "Once notable, always notable"? As far as I know, none of them. If it were an actual written rule however, it would be intended for Smasher articles, not mainspace text.

:You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. If you take a moment to look at the two most popular sources of competitive Smash 64 discussions, the Discord and the Facebook group, you will notice that the term "rape tent" or "rapetent" are hardly used. In particular the Discord server only has about 14 mentions of the term, most of which have been by one user who has seemingly been banned. The Facebook group on the other hand has a bit more usage, but as of 2017 the group administrators started working against this toxic type of behavior. The term is dead and any mention of it will certainly raise some eyebrows towards you.

::Disregarding the offensive part for a moment here, would you agree in principle that an encyclopedia should do its best to cover in detail about things that were notable in the past but not as notable now, and that it's unencyclopedic to remove information on things just because no one uses them anymore?

The concept of "Once notable, always notable" is directly referenced in [[SW:SMASHER]], and indeed the wiki enforces it in regards to covering historical competitive content, such as the aforementioned smasher articles and tournament articles. What it is '''not supposed to be for''' is a reason for the wiki to keep covering outdated terms the community has made an active effort to move away from using. Language evolves and all that.

That said, keeping the redirect should be fine, the average reader doesn't even know what a redirect is, and the people searching by that term aren't going to be the ones that will get offended by it. <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 ]] 20:36, March 9, 2021 (EST)

It does seem to me that the most encyclopedic solution would be to acknowledge the name's existence and state that the community has intentionally moved away from using it because it is offensive. It clearly demonstrates the wiki's stance on the title while not attempting to "erase history" or whatever exaggerative term you want to use. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 20:42, March 9, 2021 (EST)
:On the other hand, I really don't think this name was used commonly enough to warrant a mention at all, just judging by the search results. There honestly isn't sufficient notability to begin with, regardless of whether it's offensive (which it absolutely is, don't get me wrong). ~ [[User:StrawberryChan|<span style="color: #e68;">'''StrawberryChan'''</span>]] ([[User talk:StrawberryChan|talk]]) 21:08, March 9, 2021 (EST)
::I frankly would prefer the wiki be rid of any and all mention of it, but OT does have a point: keeping it as a redirect will only realistically serve a purpose to those who know/knew it by that name, and should it stir up confusion later on down the line, then its existence as a redirect can be brought into question.

== AFD submission ==

Don't know if it's too late to take submissions, but I would like to rewrite King K. Rool's page to be all about King Koopa from the DiC ''Mario'' cartoons. Not only are they [[mariowiki:File:KoopaDIC.jpg|very similar in appearance]], but King Koopa [[mariowiki:King Koopa's alter egos|did the whole alter-ego gimmick before K. Rool did]].

|[[Joker]] from ''Persona 5'' was announced as the second DLC fighter during {{s|wikipedia|The Game Awards 2018}} on December 6th, 2018. He is the first playable character included with the Fighters Pass Vol. 1. As part of Challenger Pack 1, his accompanying stage is [[Mementos]], and features music from ''Persona 5'' as well as ''Persona 4'', ''Persona 3'', and the original ''Revelations: Persona''.
|Mementos comes as a set with {{SSBU|Joker}} as part of Challenger Pack 1. Mementos has one main platform with a slant in the middle similar to [[Meta Crystal]], with one platform over the center and another over the left side. Trains periodically appear in the background, the set below the stage being able to damage fighters. Occasionally, a large triangle-shaped wall appears at the top or on the sides of the stage. The trains and the walls will never appear at the same time.If a song from ''Persona 3'' or ''Persona 4'' is playing during a match, the color scheme of Mementos will change from red to blue or yellow respectively, the respective primary colors for each game. The decoration in the background also changes to either a moon or the streaks found in ''Persona 4''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> UI. If Joker wins a match with the alternate music, the victory pose screen and subsequent music change accordingly to the ones found in the home series.

==Why did you have to ban MetaKnightX6? ==

Why'd you have to ban MetaKnightX6? I personally think you should've at least extended the ban to two years instead. Infinite ban is a little extreme for someone who's just a little immature and can be banned until he's a little less immature.

== Out of Curiosity... ==

I don't know why it is frowned upon to use one form of spelling over the other. I have a MarioWiki account and they generally use American English on their articles and policies. But I see lots of British English here-in fact, more here than on the MarioWiki. Would it be possible to clarify/explain? Thank you! 

This question was because I saw a word on a policy page in British spelling. I wanted to change it to its American spelling, but to be safe, I'm asking if it's ok first. And I think as long as it does not degrade the quality of anything, it should be fine? [[User:Super Smash Mario|Super Smash Mario]] ([[User talk:Super Smash Mario|talk]]) 15:03, August 31, 2022 (EDT)
:Sorry about my late response. The current policy says: 
:''There is no preference whether to use American or non-American English; therefore, one should not make an edit to a page that consists of only changing such spelling/grammar. However, it is preferred to remain consistent within a section or article. Relatedly, articles on localized subjects, such as American tournaments or British players, should use the same regionalization as their subjects.''
:So making an edit that simply changes from British English to American English wouldn't be proper unless changing it for consistency. <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> 17:31, September 7, 2022 (EDT)

I'm a good friend of the melee player N12, who's page was deleted in 2016 due to not having a local presence, and only playing online games. Im reaching out to see if we can get his page back up as he's had some high and solid placements this year in both online slippi tourneys, as well as in person events.
