→A proposal I've had for quite some time, but feel may be necessary due to increased traffic and recent vandalism: new section

The Music button on the Navigation section links to <code><nowiki>[[Category:Music (SSBB)]]</nowiki></code> rather than <code><nowiki>[[Category:Music]]</nowiki></code>. I can understand it being like that when Brawl was the newest Smash game, albeit a little unusual, but now that Smash 4 is out, it feels a little counterproductive, seeing as how it focuses on Brawl and leaves out Smash 4's music, in addition to Melee and Smash 64's music. Would it be alright if it was changed to link to either <code><nowiki>[[Category:Music]]</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>[[Music (disambiguation)]]</nowiki></code>? I can't change it myself, since the page is protected. Also, if it would be a bad idea, can I have an explanation as to why it wouldn't be preferable? - [[User:Mistiryshak|Mistiryshak]] ([[User talk:Mistiryshak|talk]]) 13:31, 22 September 2014 (EDT) | The Music button on the Navigation section links to <code><nowiki>[[Category:Music (SSBB)]]</nowiki></code> rather than <code><nowiki>[[Category:Music]]</nowiki></code>.

Tommy Barnes has struck again, this time going on right after Toomai apparently logged off. I think that with the increased traffic and activity of the wiki as it is in SSB4, it also means increased vandalism. However, interestingly, this has not meant increased admins. How do we combat this? The solution is simple: Do what a lot of other NIWA wikis already have done, and introduce "junior adminship." | |||
A junior administrator might have the ability to do basic things to keep the wiki in check, such as blocking users or IPs, deleting pages, semi-protecting pages, and the like. I feel like these are necessary to combat vandalism and often necessary to hold down order on the wiki. However, they do not need any more of the abilities that administrators have, such as editing the MediaWiki namespace or having access to the SmashWiki email/YouTube accounts, as these are not necessary to combat vandalism. | |||
I feel like the recent vandalism going on for this long is indicative of the necessity of introducing this new usergroup, as well as the fact that we have only two active administrators right now even though the wiki is probably about to reach the peak of its activity once SSB4 drops outside Japan. <span style="font-family:Magneto">[[User:Air Conditioner|{{Color|Navy|Return of}}]] [[User talk:Air Conditioner|{{Color|#007BA7|Air Conditioner}}]]</span> [[File:AC.png|19px]] <!--You looked at the wikicode, didn't you?--> 15:48, 22 September 2014 (EDT) | |||
