::::The entire operation has become such a mess, I apologize for not following up on your comment. I just don't imagine that it will carry much weight. I've become quite disenfranchised with the hostile attitudes coming from new Brawl players and a significant majority of the Wikia community is a direct representation of that new influx of people. The competitive Melee community has taken an incredible amount of completely unjustified backlash on the forums simply for purporting that it's a better game (see [http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=165363 this thread] if you want an incredible headache) and it seems that we can't set foot in any public message board without some nub Brawl player chiming in to tell us what we're doing right and what we're doing wrong. The movement here post-merge is a reflection of that attitude and I don't need to cite [[Special:Recentchanges|examples]]. Granted, wiki writers tend to me more coherent than forum trolls, but just as Sakurai himself shafted the competitive community in his development of the new game, so too has this merge. And you can't convince anyone of that because the vast majority of the involved parties have no concept of a real competitive following and the numbers are so large that no matter how good of a case you have, it inevitably gets washed out by the sheer volume of people who don't know what they're talking about. Take a look at this vote! How many of those people in the "For" category have ANY idea what it's like to attend a REAL regional tournament and know the kind of effort that goes into fueling that community. Never mind the lack of foresight involving creating random new namespaces for no good reason beyond further segregating competitive and casual players. I welcome the discussion about a reversion, but considering the job was never finished properly in the first place, I'm not sure we'll see a whole lot of rational support. Nobody likes to hear "I told you so." --<font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 18:07, 11 May 2008 (UTC) | ::::The entire operation has become such a mess, I apologize for not following up on your comment.

The articles are still on the wiki, just not in the main namespace. So really nothing has changed. And rather than complaining about the double redirects, why not help out and fix them? I'm gonna contact Wikia right now about it and hopefully they'll fix the bug with the special page. As for reverting the namespace, that won't happen. The consensus was to move the smasher articles to the Smasher namespace, and that's done and over with.--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]] 23:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC) |
