:::::::Once again, that's irrelevant. The popularity of a mod doesn't change anything. The SmashWiki is an outlier among Nintendo Wikis because for some reason a significant portion of the community is ok with being completely inconsistent with regards to what we do and don't cover, and hence we end up turning a blind eye to excessive amounts of content on mods (which incidentally always ends up becoming outdated and inaccurate because most of the editors aren't willing to contribute to them, which is in part due to the fact that on some level they realize that these articles don't belong here).

::::::::"''The SmashWiki is an outlier among Nintendo Wikis because for some reason''" | |||
::::::::What other Nintendo wikis do is completely irrelevant to us, we are our own independent entity, and since the very beginning when this wiki started in the mid-2000s we have been a heavily community-centric one, with a significant focus on the community aspect of the game. [[SmashWiki is not official]] has been our policy since 2008, if you want a Smash Wiki that is ultra official and shuns all content that isn't official Nintendo-approved like your cited Nintendo wikis, you'll have to go elsewhere and start up your own Smash Wiki, trying to change the entrenched over decade-long culture of this one is a losing battle. | |||
::::::::"''which incidentally always ends up becoming outdated and inaccurate because most of the editors aren't willing to contribute to them''" | |||
::::::::Content for all sorts of content becomes outdated and inaccurate, especially those based on changing content, until someone eventually comes along to edit them. [[SmashWiki is not complete]] is another important tenet of this wiki, where everything is always a work in progress and everything can be improved farther. "This article is bad" is never remotely a good reason to completely truncate content, and if the quality of some articles bothers you, then go be the change you want to see it and fix the articles yourself. <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 ]] 08:13, April 10, 2020 (EDT) | |||
(reset indent) Let me ask you, then. What do we do if there's a major P+ tournament (which is gonna come no matter what). Do we just not acknowledge it?

:Exactly, because it's not our job to acknowledge it, that's the job of modding Wikis like the PM Wiki.
