== Discussion from Smasher==
===Moving Beta Over?===
Anyone else agree [[Template:Smasherbeta]] is now good enough to be moved here? - [[User:Ashran111|Ashran111]] ([[User talk:Ashran111|talk]]) 21:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
What are we supposed to put for "Skill"? [[User:Schweppes|Schweppes]] 21:47, January 10, 2007 (GMT)
: Pro, amateur, beginner and so on. I'm not vey "smashy" so I don't really know what to put in a template like this. &ndash; [[User:AltAcnt|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:AltAcnt|talk]]</small> 15:46, January 11, 2007 (GMT)
===Skill level?===
<s>As well as main, I believe secondary, or alternate, should be in there as well. Also, I disagree with using a "skill" rating/ranking. Certainly there should be panel rankings, but not a skill level. It's so easy to tamper with and "blow up" one's skill. [[User:Oddeven2002|Oddeven2002]] 01:30, January 11, 2007 (GMT)</s>
:: I see now that second and third mains are in there already, just not on the template example, my bad. [[User:Oddeven2002|Oddeven2002]] 02:22, January 11, 2007 (GMT)
: And when can we get to applying these to player pages? [[User:Oddeven2002|Oddeven2002]] 01:39, January 11, 2007 (GMT)
:: If I can't possibly be more annoying as it is, I have a problem with the "skill" ranking idea. There isn't a standardization on skill level, so we can't compare it to anything. I completely disagree with it as it stands now. We shouldn't apply these JUST yet, not untill we can all agree on "skill" level. [[User:Oddeven2002|Oddeven2002]] 13:04, January 11, 2007 (GMT)
::: '''Stop!''' Stop applying these untill we have a standard code and level! What does everyone have to compare to? We can NOT start applying these untill we have something decided on. How easy would it would it be for someone who was unskilled to label themselves as highly skilled?
:::: If there is any way to make "skill" optional, that would be best for now. --[[User:MaskedMarth|MaskedMarth]] 04:14, January 14, 2007 (GMT)
:::: Yeah, just omit it for a while, at least until we can figure out what to do with it.--[[User:Respawn|Respawn]] 04:55, January 14, 2007 (GMT)
::::: Untill something that really allows smashers to play together without prior meditation, such as playing online, if that ever happens, we can't really refine nor define skill sharp enough to make a scale or rating system of anysort. I appologise if I sounded a little bit upset up there when I requested to stop. It could have gotten out of hand VERY quickly if it didn't stop soon. My final point is: Leave the skill level alone, perhaps even the entire template, untill we can really nail something solid down. [[User:Oddeven2002|Oddeven2002]] 04:59, January 14, 2007 (GMT)
How about the CPU level the player can comfortably beat. This provides a 1-9 scale. [[User:ScoreCounter|ScoreCounter]] ([[User talk:ScoreCounter|talk]]) 14:55, 30 August 2012 (EDT)
:Any competitive player that has some sort of worth will be able to beat any cpu of any level. Hell, even casuals can beat up level nines with no problem. <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 ]] 15:01, 30 August 2012 (EDT)
:Plus, one's skill level is relative to how they perform against other players. How you do against cpus is irrelevant. <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 ]] 15:02, 30 August 2012 (EDT)
===Designs/Future designs===
I think it should have a border. It fits in a bit messy as it is, and I think a border would help define it and make it stand out better. And maybe a different color for the headline too, but I don't know what color would be better. [[User:Delphiki|Bean]] 07:29, January 11, 2007 (GMT)
:I agree. For the border, a standard gray border like the one for the characters would fit nicely, 1-2px. For the headline color, I think a dark blue would work, something around #1874cd. Or perhaps just black. But I'm just speaking my opinion.--[[User:Respawn|Respawn]] 14:50, January 11, 2007 (GMT)
:: Take any colour, I phail at colouring templates. &ndash; [[User:AltAcnt|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:AltAcnt|talk]]</small> 15:46, January 11, 2007 (GMT)
:::I changed it to #1b3f8b, I think it fits the SmashWiki color scheme. Looking back at #1874cd, it was too light. I also added a 1px border, I think that it works well. If not, you can just change it.--[[User:Respawn|Respawn]] 13:51, January 12, 2007 (GMT)
::::A line for the Smasher's photo would be helpful too. --[[User:MaskedMarth|MaskedMarth]] 00:33, January 14, 2007 (GMT)
::::: There is a line for the photo, it can be used in stead of banner. &ndash; [[User:AltAcnt|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:AltAcnt|talk]]</small> 09:31, January 14, 2007 (GMT)
Why were several categories removed? They do no harm, and players can include more information about themselves if they'd like. I see no reason why they were deleting. -- [[User:Delphiki|Bean]] 03:12, January 14, 2007 (GMT)
: Because they weren't smash related, and can be put in the rest of the page. Should we put 'em back? &ndash; [[User:AltAcnt|Smiddle]] / <small>[[User talk:AltAcnt|talk]]</small> 09:32, January 14, 2007 (GMT)
:"Age" is one that we should have for sure. -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 17:26, February 7, 2007 (GMT)
:: I don't see a reason for that. {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 17:49, February 7, 2007 (GMT)
:::Well, these are all pseudo-biographies of Smashers. Obviously it wouldn't be a mandatory field, but it's the kind of information that people will want to know. Suppressing desire for knowledge is very anti-encyclopedic in general. Even if there wasn't a good reason, I'd be questioning ''why not'' beforehand. -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 17:54, February 7, 2007 (GMT)
::::We cannot do major changes to this since it is used widely, and it would be too much to change. {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 20:25, February 8, 2007 (GMT)
:::::I can. :^) Of course, I would prefer to be doing it with community approval rather than discouragement, but I suppose you can't win them all. -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 17:52, February 12, 2007 (GMT)

== Proposed removal of Brawl code ==
Due to [[SW:UTPG]] and [[SW:NOT]], I think it would be beneficial to remove the brawl code section, because less people will approach with "Hey wanna brawl?

==Deceased smashers==
How do we display the age of deceased smashers ([[KishCubed]], for example)? Showing how old they ''would'' be if they were alive seems quite unreasonable. <sup>Smiddle&nbsp;</sup>[[User:Smiddle|君怒る]][[user talk:Smiddle|?]] 13:01, 9 August 2011 (EDT)
:Thats what I was wondering too. <font face="Forte">[[User:BlindColours|<font color="#FFA500">Blin</font>]][[User talk:BlindColours|<font color="#00FFFF">dcol</font>]][[Special:Contributions/BlindColours|<font color="#00FF00">ours</font>]]</font> ''ZoOm!'' 13:08, 9 August 2011 (EDT)
:Well, currently this template uses {{t|DoB}} to determine an age, so this template would have to give DoB a deathdate. DoB is not currently configured for this, though the calculation template that it uses ({{t|Age}}) does. The main problem is that if we don't know the exact birthdate and exact deathdate (as is the case for KishCubed), it would have to be done manually, which means adding a new row to this template that allows a manual age without declaring the article deprecated.

==N64==
The N64 was a console, not a video game. We don't call ''Melee'' "GCN", or ''Brawl'' "Wii", cos that would be dumb. Nor do we call them "SSBM GCN" or "SSBB Wii", cos that too would be dumb. Instead, we call them ''SSBM''/''Melee'' and ''SSBB''/''Brawl''. Why can't we just call ''SSB'' "''SSB''"?

== Standardization of inputs ==
I think we need to smack this with the deprecation hammer again:
* <code>main</code>, <code>2ndmain</code>, <code>other</code>, and <code>2ndother</code> need to have <code>ssbm</code> stuck on the end.
* <code>doublesmain</code> should be <code>doublesmainssbb</code>; <code>doublesmainssb</code> and <code>doublesmainssbm</code> need to be added.

There are two things I think should be added:
#A slot for a player's ELO rating. ELO ratings for Melee players can be found on [[SSBPD]], and Brawl players can be found on [http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=262480 this thread]. For Brawl, a separate ranking for MK legal and banned will be needed.
#A slot for the total amount of money a player has won from verifiable tournaments. While we realistically cannot provide an accurate amount in the smasher space's current condition, once we manage to get full results on a player, we can put on a good estimation. If this idea is implemented, perhaps we should have a slot for each Smash game? (For those that play multiple Smash games competitively).
These things will compliment the "skill" listing, and help readers get a quick idea of how successful the player is in competitive play. <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 ]] 19:30, 19 September 2012 (EDT)

::::Awesome saying "we should have a vote" does not mean you should post something when you have nothing to say, and it is useless when your statement just reiterates what someone else already said in a more vague and less explicative manner (something Dots has been warned many times to stop doing). <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 ]] 19:02, 30 September 2012 (EDT)
Not to mention that, like, 95% of the Smashers who have articles on this Wiki are male.

== Low tier main ==
Should a parameter showing people's low tier mains be added?

:I don't think it's necessary, as few players have a bonafide "low tier main", and low tier tournaments aren't common enough for players' low tier mains to be prominent. <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 ]] 11:56, 8 September 2013 (EDT)
