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!

In general, if you have many edits to make to a page (even a long one with many sections), it is better to do so in one edit as opposed to many smaller ones. This prevents cluttering Recent Changes and the page's history. Miles (talk) 00:11, 26 August 2014 (EDT)

Regarding tables

Though you haven't made several consecutive edits, you may still need to use Preview. If you did that, you'll reduce the chance of having to fix that edit or having someone else fix it for you. If you previewed that edit you made in the Character customization page, you would have noticed that your edit threw off Dark Pit's row. If you haven't noticed, Pit's row had a rowspan="2" for the Control Arrow cell. This allows that cell to occupy the next row as well. This was made that way because both had Control Arrow, and as their rows are adjacent, it caused some repetition. Just letting you know. Berrenta (talk) 15:45, 24 September 2014 (EDT)

Wolf Flash

In-game, it's called the "Wolf Flash", not the "Fox Flash". Please do not change it. PikaSamus (talk) 14:57, 7 October 2014 (EDT)

Image Naming

An image name such as "File:Screen Shot 2014-11-18 at 12.49.17 PM.png" is inappropriate and doesn't tell what the image is supposed to be. Please, when uploading images, remember to appropriately name them and appropriately tag them. See SW:IMAGE for more details. Thank you. Rtzxy Reflect! 14:59, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Edits to User:AwesomeLuigi

You're not supposed to edit other user's userpages without their permission, unless it's fixing a moved image link or removing false info/other policy violations. If you want to change something, it's wise to leave a message on their talk page beforehand—if they allow you to (exception to this is fixing an image link, but only if the image was moved already). Just letting you know. If you got permission beforehand to edit, then ignore this message. Rtzxy Reflect! 15:30, 2 December 2014 (EST)

Thanks for editing my chart

Thanks for editing my Brawl character competency chart. --AwesomeLuigi (talk) 17:47, 16 December 2014 (EST)

Hey, no problem dude. By the way, Luigi is one of my mains in the Smash games too (I have yet to play Melee and Project M because I don't have either yet). SonicSpeed48 (talk) 21:50, 16 December 2014 (EST)

On uploading images

1. If you're uploading a screenshot of a Smash game, be sure to tag it as fair use while uploading.
2. If you're uploading a screenshot of a Smash game that isn't the proper quality and/or resolution, be sure to tag it as {{lowquality}}.

Thanks. Miles (talk) 15:11, 12 January 2015 (EST)

Hello.

Please be aware that if you are uploading images for personal use (e.g. for your userpage), you should be placing them in Category:User images. Toomai Glittershine The Glow 11:24, 14 January 2015 (EST)

If you can,

Make a picture for Luma's trophy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.60.218.64 (talk • contribs) 10:32, February 20, 2015

1. I don't think Luma by itself even has a trophy. If it did, then we'd know about it (and probably have a picture of it).
2. Sign your comments with ~~~~. I don't really know how many times I have to tell you about this. It is a rule that you have to sign your comments with four tildes. To make a tilde, press the shift button on your keyboard, and there is a little button above the Tab button. Press it four times, and you should have the requirements for a signature. Aidan the Aura Master 11:55, 20 February 2015 (EST)

Luma does have a trophy in the Wii U version. I believe it's called "Baby Luma" though. ChuckNorris  12:07, 20 February 2015 (EST)

Reverted edits

If your edit is reverted, please check the page history to understand the other user's reasons for doing so. If you disagree or want to discuss the subject, take it to the relevant page's talk page. Miles (talk) 10:02, 29 July 2015 (EDT)

Custom moves in lists

Please actually link to the names of custom moves, and create the redirect if necessary, instead of using the wordier "(custom X)" alongside. This stops the bracketed notes from having two different meanings (one being the custom specifier, and the other being the specific-part-of-attack specifier). Toomai Glittershine The Multifaceted 21:11, 5 October 2015 (EDT)

Japanese names

Can you please link a source to verify those Japanese names you're claiming for Mii Fighter special moves? Some of them seem unusual to my (admittedly untrained) eye and I'd like to be sure they're correct. Miles (talk) 12:34, 28 October 2015 (EDT)

To prevent further confusion

This should clear things up. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 09:58, 17 November 2015 (EST)

Bayo trophies

Mind re-uploading those with the extra transparent parts to the sides removed? Those areas are messing with the dimensions. Miles (talk) 20:05, 19 December 2015 (EST)

No problem Speed48 20:07, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Uh, not really what I meant. I was hoping for something more like this, where the picture is as wide as the trophy itself. The extra rendering wasn't needed, and in fact looks kind of off, especially on Cereza. Miles (talk) 21:22, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Although we'll take the transparency too, thanks for that. Serpent King 21:25, 19 December 2015 (EST)

SW:SIG

Hey, you're gonna need to change the image in your signature. SW:SIG says it can't be a mainspace image. If you want to keep it as that, you can upload a duplicate. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by SANTY CLAWS! Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 20:16, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Reminder of this, as you haven't fixed it, to my knowledge. 98.157.202.185 18:38, 27 December 2015 (EST)

Well how am I supposed to? Speed48 22:44, 27 December 2015 (EST)

Sorry for the late reply, but I don't know how. Ask this guy. He seems to know how to do this. 98.157.202.185 10:26, 30 December 2015 (EST)

All you need to do is save the image, and reupload it with a different file name. It's that simple. Aidan, the Jolly Space Warrior 10:45, 30 December 2015 (EST)

Probation

Reminder: Over-editing of the user- and forum-spaces may result in your probation. Consider using the preview button to prevent editing these pages multiple times in a row.

Hi, so looking at your recent edits, I wish to remind you of probation. Thanks, from Penro 14:31, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

I know, I'm just finishing a few things up on my user page and then I'll be done. I promise Speed48 14:43, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

Ah, that's good to hear. Penro 14:44, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

There. Done. Now what spaces need editing? Speed48 15:07, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

You could start with this. I know not everyone is interested in competitive Smash, but it's pretty easy work. You basically just fill in the blanks. I am taking a break such edits though, since I got bored of it. xD John PK SMAAAASH!! 15:16, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

What do you mean by fill in the blanks specifically? Speed48 15:19, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

There's also all of this. Penro 15:21, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

I can't really do the merging Double-Edge Dance thing because the discussion isn't closed and I'm not an admin Speed48 15:32, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

There's quite a few other pages you could work on from the maintenance template, or you can look for pages to improve yourself. Miles (talk) 15:53, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

How do you guys translate the Japanese text for certain articles anyways? Speed48 16:03, 12 April 2016 (EDT)

About this

“	Do not dignify those who are trolling with a response at all, even if it is on your own talk page - that is exactly what they wish for. Don't play into their hands.	”
—SW:QDV

Just a reminder. Nokii ^ε (T · C) 18:53, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

Right, I should’ve known. My mistake. Speed48 18:55, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

Also regarding this other edit:

“	For the most part, editing talk page comments after they been posted is discouraged and typically not allowed. (...) However, if you made a statement or said anything you wish to retract, you may add strike tags <s></s> to the offending portion of the comment to signify this.	”
—SW:TALK

Nokii ^ε (T · C) 19:14, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

I’m sorry, I didn’t know I couldn’t do that. Speed48 20:31, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

I'd like to clarify a few things:

1. Posting on the talk page of a vandal is indeed discouraged, however at all times, one must assume good faith. Considering the possibility that the offender may indeed have not known that what they were doing was wrong (unlikely I know, but not impossible), I posted a new message on their page describing what has happened and what they should do next time.
2. Extending from this, the message that SonicSpeed initially posted was a poor attitude to take for any user. Even on genuine offenders requiring warnings, users must try to refrain from using any sort of accusatory tone in their posts, under SW:NPA.
3. As for removing talk posts, while strike out is NORMALLY the only way of retracting a bad comment you made, you are allowed to delete the comment entirely if both of the following conditions are met:
   • You only just posted the comment
   • Nobody else has replied to it

So there you have it. Some handy tips from me to you. Have a nice day! Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 21:46, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

About Mario

Fair enough, except that you violated SW:1RV by double-reverting it. There's another problem too, and one that still requires your edit to be taken down. I'll ask you to do it though, and here's why. I was discussing this on the Discord but basically, it could be an error due to the game's development status, one that might be fixed in the completed game. As Aidanzapunk pointed out to me: "remember, the April Smash Direct from 2014 had Diddy and Lucario's Brawl artworks in place of their (known) Smash 4 portraits." For that reason alone, the trivia point needs to be taken down. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 23:45, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

There, it’s gone. Speed48 23:48, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

Alright. I know it's frustrating, and I'm sorry to inconvenience you about this. Thanks for understanding, however. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 23:50, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

It’s fine, don’t worry about it. Speed48 23:52, 25 June 2018 (EDT)

This

Just like the rest of them, this does against the fact that SmashWiki is not speculative. Sakurai has been very vague about whether or not it's just the 8 or all 12. Even your quote supports this, as he only says the "roster", and does not specify beyond that. Aidan, the College-Bound Rurouni 23:45, 13 July 2018 (EDT)

So what you’re saying is that you want this instead of the Original 12? Speed48 11:57, 14 July 2018 (EDT)

It's not what we want or even what we expect. It is what has been clearly stated and what we can accurately report as an encyclopedia. Sakurai has proven time and time again that he makes unpredictable decisions; it is best to only report on what he states definitively. TheNuttyOne 11:59, 14 July 2018 (EDT)

Fine, but I’m not going to edit that out of the 10 Nintendo Wikipedias that the Original 12 have pages on. Speed48 12:38, 14 July 2018 (EDT)

"Bub"/"Bud"

I don't think it's enough to qualify as a violation of NPA, but the use of "bub"/"bud"/etc. in summaries such as this one, even if it wasn't the intention, can feel very patronizing and insulting and can potentially offend or enrage another user, creating unnecessary drama. Just thought I'd point it out so you can be more careful. TheNuttyOne 20:00, 15 July 2018 (EDT)

Trivia

Several of your trivia points have been deemed not noteworthy or uninteresting. I recommend checking this out before doing any more. Serpent  King 22:51, 30 July 2018 (EDT)

Oh I won't be doing anymore trivia because of this, thank you very much. Speed48 00:06, 31 July 2018 (EDT)

About the Smash Blog Quotes

Let me just say this, I'm not leaving a job "half-finished." I'm adding the blog update as it is in English, the Japanese updates sometimes add more to the quote. I myself do not speak Japanese, so I add the English quote. I make the base outline of the quote, what ever is added thereafter is not my concern. If you want to add the additional parts from the Japanese quote, feel free to, but please don't accuse me of leaving a job half-finished because I didn't wait for Source Gaming to translate it. Sorry if I'm coming across as a jerk as that is not my intention at all, I'm just trying to explain why I don't add that extra sliver of info the Japanese quote has. Dakota.952 22:58 August 1 2018 (EDT)

Oh, well I'm sorry for the confusion, Dakota. I never meant to come off as a jerk either, I just get a bit confused why the last part wasn't on. Speed48 23:11, 1 August 2018 (EDT)

It's alright, as I've read over my original comment it might've looked a bit harsh. Sorry about that! Dakota.952 1:14, August 2 2018 (EDT)

This

It looks pretty bad when an admin goes against the very rule(s) they try to keep enforced, so I'll bring this here: none of the other Mario characters have that sort of mention to the mainline series, unlike Bowser, so that's not really an argument that you can use, if you ask me. Aidan, the College-Bound Rurouni 03:03, 4 August 2018 (EDT)
