You're right!
Nonsense! There's always something that needs improving on SmashWiki, and it could be ''you'' who does it. You could add character information that hasn't been added, improve on pages that haven't been worked on, or even make pages you believe should exist at our wiki. Even if you don't know much about the game, every positive submission is a step in the right direction, no matter how little it is. There are [[:Category:Stubs|stubby pages to expand]], [[:Category:Articles in need of cleanup|articles that need cleanup]], [[Special:Wantedpages|pages that probably should be created]], and [[Template:MaintenanceLinks|hundreds of other things that need doing]].

==What do the numbers mean in the recent changes?==
You'll see some numbers in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] after the time an edit was made. This number indicates how many characters were added or removed from the article. If the number is <span class="mw-plusminus-neg">negative</span>, then characters were removed. If the number is <span class="mw-plusminus-pos">positive</span>, then characters were added.
