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? | 1.

:Wrong, for there is a difference between a smasher and a user. I have more on that in my contributions, but refuse to go looking for it. --[[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 02:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
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. | 2.

::Good lord, these discussions ''are'' fragmented... thanks for the links, Sky, but with no watchlist and important community decisions being made on pages that I really just don't know how to find, I simply don't have the energy to divulge the kind of feedback that I would like to. We were so close to establishing some sort of order at SmashWiki and I've written so much already in the process of doing so that I'm exhausted. It would be ridiculous for me to waste the time illustrating that to what is now an entirely new audience who already have a pre-established sense of order and a fundamentally different focus than that of SmashWiki. Especially when there's still a chance that I might log in tomorrow to find that we've merged with [http://www.wowwiki.com WoWwiki] and [http://solarcooking.wikia.com solarcooking.wikia.com]. --[[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 02:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC) | ::Good lord, these discussions ''are'' fragmented... thanks for the links, Sky, but with no watchlist and important community decisions being made on pages that I really just don't know how to find, I simply don't have the energy to divulge the kind of feedback that I would like to.

==Login/Cookie Retention Issues== | |||
Users with accounts across different Wikias will have some problems if the user name is different. For instance, I cannot edit "SmashWiki" and [http://goldensun.wikia.com Golden Sun's Wiki] simultaneously because it calls for two different logins and once you log out of one, you're logged out of them all. This makes it particularly challenging in the context of moving raw page/template contents out of one wiki via the watchlist and into a new page at SmashWiki. More things that need to be remedied for that post-merge to-do list. --[[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 02:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
