| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified.

BTW, could you delete the articles about stages in SmashWiki.Merge/? All information is now written on the 'real' ones, and that would ALSO save us many bites.[[User:King M|King M]] 20:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC){{user|King M}} March, 1 2008 21:32 (GMT +01) | BTW, could you delete the articles about stages in SmashWiki.Merge/?

Revision as of 15:38, March 1, 2008
There are a few concerns I have now that wikis have merged. Specifically:
1. Pages dedicated to users, Smashers, that aren't user pages. Why do users need 2 pages about themselves? They don't. How do these pages have use to casual gamers? They don't. There are over 1300 of these Smasher articles. Thats, what, a third of all articles? These need to be moved to user pages, crammed into a small group of articles or deleted. Right?
2. Templates. You Smash Wikians really like your templates. Some of these are necessary, others, not so much. For example every character has its own special moves template while SSB Wiki has one nifty one that you plug in the character and its moves. So we need to figure out which templates to keep and which to toss. We also need a limit of how many templates we use per page because it really gets ugly when you have 3 big ones stacked.
3. Main Page. No offense but its boring. We need to merge our main pages ASAP. SSB Wiki has had a featured media and featured article section for over a month and now its gone. We need our FAs since they get sent to Gamefaqs and whatnot.
4. We had a launch center that had a lot of effort put in it and I was hoping to display it on the main Page too since Brawl's just a week away. And also I wondered if anyone wanted to make a new logo or have a vote of what logo was preferred, Smash Wiki's or SSB Wiki's.
Any comment, suggestions or resolutions? Bonko24 18:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- I THINK I have a resolution, atleast to the templates. I know we who come from SmashWiki loves templates, yea... But once, I created templates for each series, one for each Smash game. I had everything in it. Characters, moves, stage locations, stages, items, Poké Ball-Pokémon, Assist Trophies, trophies, stickers and background characters. Yea... but then the moves, Poké Ball-Pokémon, trophies, stickers and background characters disappeard. A little bit later, the three (about each game) started to merg into one, and other ones was created about the special moves. If we could continue to merge the three templates (about each game) into one, and include the Poké Ball-Pokémon aswell as the moves, it would save us, like, hundreds of unnecesary templates.
BTW, could you delete the articles about stages in SmashWiki.Merge/? All information is now written on the 'real' ones, and that would ALSO save us many bites.King M 20:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)King M (talk•contribs•logs) March, 1 2008 21:32 (GMT +01)
- Yes, I agree, the articles on users that are in the main namespace should be moved off.
