Forum:Glitch pages

Forums: Index → Proposals → Glitch pages

This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented.

While I am well aware that we have pages on notable and famous glitches, I feel like, much like the list of rumors page, we're forgetting to realize exactly what should qualify as "notable and famous". As the internet has progressed over the years, the Smash community too has progressed and grown over the years, making things easier to be spread and, by previous standards, become notable and famous. However, there becomes a certain point where a line should be drawn, because not everything notable and famous deserves a page, since it usually amounts to a small amount of information, and, in many cases, once notable glitches ultimately getting patched out. I am under the full belief that minor glitches like these do not need full pages, especially in the era of video games where glitches can become patched out and therefore irrelevant.

• Yup, other than the most significant/notable ones, individual glitches should be covered on a "List of glitches (SSBU)" type page, I think. Miles (talk) 16:39, July 17, 2020 (EDT)
• Totally down for this. Would be great to have a method of centralizing minor glitch articles, considering there are plenty of minor ones scattered across the wiki. Acgamer28 16:59, July 17, 2020 (EDT)
• I think its a great idea because they are some many glitches in smash that are not important that don't have a page. Thegameandwatch The Nerd 17:53, July 17, 2020 (EDT)
• Support: As a guy who loves glitches and exploiting them I'm all for this. Sometimes glitches are so small I don't even know they exist, and often times those glitches are really minor to where those pages barely have any information in them. Omegα Toαd 18:26, July 17, 2020 (EDT)
• Support for the reasons above. --CanvasK (talk) 18:45, July 17, 2020 (EDT)
• Support I'm very surprised there isn't already one. Señor Mexicano (talk) 19:13, July 17, 2020 (EDT)
• Definitely. I've always wondered why there are pages covering obsolete or minor glitches. A centralized page should be created for all the glitches that have ever existed, but only the more infamous ones like the Black Hole glitch and the Yo-Yo glitch should get its own page.

• Very STRONG Support as said above. S3AHAWK (talk) 15:17, July 19, 2020 (EDT)
• Question: does the infinite assist trophy glitch count as notable enough for its own page? I remember that being everywhere when it was discovered. Other than that, most of the other Ultimate glitches don't deserve their own pages in my opinion, so putting them in one page sounds good. 72.219.72.215 15:19, July 19, 2020 (EDT)
