When I search for "Sumabato", I get two results: the tournament series page I made, and one that also lists Sumabato results, but doesn't have as much as mine, although I just realized I missed the qualifiers. I feel like I made a mistake, so I just wanted to clear this up. [[User:Iridium77|Iridium77]] ([[User talk:Iridium77|talk]]) 15:44, 18 August 2018 (EDT)

== Overloaded speedy deletion section ==
Are the old 3DS trophy redirects not deleted yet because the section's overloaded? If so, I'm sorry I did, I can just remove some so there's not much to delete within the same day.

== Blocked? ==
Hi, I’m kind of confused. When trying to edit the Shovel Knight (Universe) page, it said I had been blocked for spam, advertising, and lewd bing searches. It told me to come to you with questions. So firstly, I don’t think I’ve been  spamming. Secondly, I haven’t been advertising anything. Thirdly, I don’t even use bing! So what’s going on? [[Special:Contributions/72.133.91.93|72.133.91.93]] 08:45, 24 August 2018 (EDT)Blueflame105
I'm not SK, but I think I can shed a bit of light on this.
'''16:38, 3 August 2018 Serpent King (talk | contribs) blocked 107.77.192.0/19 (talk) with an expiry time of 1 month (anonymous users only, account creation disabled, email disabled, cannot edit own talk page) (unwanted spam/advertisement: IP range for all of these lewd bing searches)'''
-This appears to be the problem, but it doesn't match your IP oddly enough. Do you perhaps use a vpn service sometimes?

Well, the only thing I can think of is I was in the bathroom when I saw the message, but I don’t really do much there so I don’t know why that would change anything.[[Special:Contributions/72.133.91.93|72.133.91.93]] 08:58, 24 August 2018 (EDT)Blueflame105

== Instant KO GIFs ==
Hey, wanted to apologize for the namespace edit spam on my [[User:SuperFalconBros/Instant_KO|Instant KO]] article. The GIF thumbnailing process was very slow and I had to check and redo my work a few times due to it timing out or not generating the thumbnails. Edits should be done now. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 14:06, 2 September 2018 (EDT)
== Moving damage ratio article ==
Looks like I messed things up by adding the deletion tag to the [[launch rate]] redirect, as apparently you can only move a page to overwrite a redirect if the redirect has no edit history. So now I get the "page of that name already exists" error. In order to move [[Launch Rate|damage ratio]], can we go through the deletion process for the redirect? [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 12:09, 15 September 2018 (EDT)
:Ok, so I looked at the talk page of the article in question, and I think it's clear that you don't really understand who the consensus policy works. Please do have a read of [[SW:CONSENSUS]].

::I most definitely understand it. The rules for the deletion tag (not the speedy version) state that after the tag is added, consensus should be formed before the deletion is carried out. That's what I'm asking for here, not for Serpent King to just delete the page. [[User:SuperFalconBros|SuperFalconBros]] ([[User talk:SuperFalconBros|talk]]) 12:21, 15 September 2018 (EDT)
:::On the talk page you specifically said ''"If nobody is opposed enough to reply here, I'm going to go ahead and do this"''. This quite clearly shows that you do not understand the consensus process.

::::As you can see from my actions, what I meant by "do this" was "start the process for removing the redirect by adding the tag, after which consensus has to be reached on the deletion itself." I wasn't even aware that pages could be moved to overwrite redirects without going through the deletion process, so I had no plans to make the move without consensus. You are mistaken.

== Recent vandalism ==
Mind giving "Those are deadly 27" and "73.109.217.252" the boot please? They both vandalized the [[Smasher:Pandarian]] page, and then the latter vandalized my own talk page.

Hi Serpent King, thanks for deleting that image. Was there any particular reason why you did? Is it because it's under 2MB? Or the ign logo? [[User:Conker the Squirrel|Conker the Squirrel]] ([[User talk:Conker the Squirrel|talk]]) 22:54, 22 September 2018 (EDT)

== ''Brawl'' Victory Poses Template ==
Hey, so [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Special:Contributions/Capt._Chainsaw this guy] has been uploading animated versions of the ''Brawl'' victory poses and they should definitely replace the static images currently on the ''Brawl'' character pages. Problem is, I don't really know how to change the template to the way it needs to be. Since you made the template to begin with, would you mind updating it sometime soon to accommodate for animated images? Thanks. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">HUAH!</span>]]</b> 15:09, 30 September 2018 (EDT)
:Do we have them all?

::Not yet. Personally, I think the template should be designed around the animated images we want, even if we don't have everything yet. But since you know how to code it it's up to you lol. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">HUAH!</span>]]</b> 11:48, 1 October 2018 (EDT)
:::I can do it, but we'd have to go to every single article we don't have all 3 animated gifs for and tell the template to just use the static ones. The fact that the static ones are also merged (all 3 in one image) is also an issue... <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> 19:20, 1 October 2018 (EDT)
== Proposals ==
Hey, I was wondering, how do you start proposals? It might be something you can only do with an account, but if it isn’t, I’d like to know how, as I was intending to propose a: Upcoming Major tournaments template as people do often come here looking for upcoming tournaments (even if it isn’t what the site is for) and as it is, one must actively search for known upcoming tournaments, and usually only see after it’s over and the results are posted here. Wouldn’t have to be anything fancy, just something that covers most major tournaments like Shine, CEO, The Big House, EVO, etc. If I can’t due to being an IP, can you get someone else to make this proposal? Hank you. [[Special:Contributions/72.133.91.93|72.133.91.93]] 09:56, 2 October 2018 (EDT) Blueflame105
