::::So, I would just copy-paste the thing you just put up, replace the 3 with however many quotes I have, and put in the quotes for the options?

:::::Pretty much. Just ensure that the "mod 3" is the number of options, and the options are from 0 to [options-1]. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Aurum 11:58, 9 January 2015 (EST)

== Regarding the SSB4 Samus page ==
Sorry for the inconvenience, but could you elaborate on why you undid my changes? Of course, if it was a format error please let me know. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Reydiance|Reydiance]] ([[User talk:Reydiance|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Reydiance|contribs]]) 11:51, 11 January 2015 (EST)</small>
:It was indeed a format error. We're converting the "changes from previous game" lists to follow the moveset table order and have no sub-bullets or points depending on other points, among other things, as was discussed [[Template talk:Buff#Revamp|here]].

::Okay, thanks or the reasoning. Allow me to add back the changes unrelated to format? - [[User:Reydiance|Reydiance]] <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Reydiance|Reydiance]] ([[User talk:Reydiance|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Reydiance|contribs]]) 12:00, 11 January 2015 (EST)</small>
:::Of course; I didn't think I saw any, which is why I simply undid the edit outright instead of keeping anything. Also, in order to sign talk page posts, put <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at the end.

== Your GSP ==
Is that for your overall GSP or your best for one character? <span style="font-family:Corbel; font-size:12pt">[[User:Smash Master|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Smash''']] [[User talk:Smash Master|<span style="color:darkgreen">'''Master'''</span>]]</span></span> 12:38, 12 January 2015 (EST)
:It's all from the "stats" page, so I presume it's overall. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Loony 12:50, 12 January 2015 (EST)

::I just checked from the "Stats", those are for you character with the highest, not overall.

== Why is 32 KB such a big deal? ==
I never really understood why it was that important to keep wiki pages under 32 KB. Is it because it takes a long time to load? Is it because of space and storage issues? Are these issues really that significant or currently present? [[User:Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">'''Awesome'''</span>]] [[User talk:Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">'''Cardinal'''</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Ac2k|<span style="color: red;">'''2000'''</span>]] 21:47, 13 January 2015 (EST)
:Historically, certain browsers had a bug/feature where they only accomodated enough memory to save 32kB worth of text in text boxes. As a result, saving a page with more than that amount would just cut off anything beyond the 32kB point. I don't think it's still a relevant limitation of any proper modern browser, and section editing is a workaround if it's an actual problem, but I recall it occuring not too long ago (probably some mobile browser), so it's probably still at least partly relevant. I would call it a "soft limit"; if a page needs to be longer (e.g. a list), then fine, but it feels like a good point where shortening or splitting should probably be considered.
