Should this policy be implemented, all pages are to be moved to the smasher namespace within the time of one week. When all the articles have been moved, the thirty day countdown will begin for all smasher articles still tagged with {{t|smasher-stub}}. Should these pages be in other ways in violation of this policy, <nowiki>{{t|smasher-violation}}</nowiki> will be added, or the articles will be edited to be in line with this policy. | |||
