Hi there!
Welcome to our wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.
- Read this first as it provides many great resources designed to help users get oriented with the wiki and become part of the community.
- Visit the recent changes to see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
- Questions? You can ask at the help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!
- Need help? The community portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit.
I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

why would we even need that Red (talk)

- 'Cuz it's consistent with how we format things in the articles? Besides, I was bored and it was early morning. Perfect time for some repetitive custodial work.

Symbols
I remeber you asked me a while ago if I have the symbol .svgs somewhere. Well I do now, but Dropbox basically doesn't allow you to link to folders. Do you know of a better way to link you to the files than posting a list of 50 items somewhere? Toomai Glittershine

- Er... Too late. I just reconstructed them. VinLAURiA (talk) 18:20, 29 May 2014 (EDT)
- Actually, tell ya the truth, can't you just host them on the SmashWiki even if we can't use them on pages for the time being? I'd like to eventually move over to SVGs as it is anyway. VinLAURiA (talk) 21:19, 15 June 2014 (EDT)
- Well I dunno. I haven't tried uploading SVGs here in a long time, because the last time I attempted to do so, the wiki's renderer butchered them (and I don't just mean small errors at smaller sizes, I mean things like "giant line through the image"). It's reasonable to say something might have changed since then, but with no real reason to change to SVGs I haven't really considered checking. Toomai Glittershine The Brass 22:11, 15 June 2014 (EDT)

Those "shortcut" templates
What's the point of them? Toomai Glittershine The Trumpeteer 16:23, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
- Figured I'd put them in to match how we still have the For3DS and ForWiiU templates, as a quick shorthand. You said you didn't have a problem with those two for the time being, although that was several months ago. VinLAURiA (talk) 16:24, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
- My issue with these ones is how {{Brawl}} and ''[[Brawl]]'' are very similar in code, and identical in function, but look totally different on the page. It's ripe for confusion. Could we figure out a way to improve that? Toomai Glittershine The Steppin' 16:27, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
- {{Brawl|full}} for the full title, and retroactively added to the For3DS and ForWiiU ones? Although on a related note, I'm sort of stuck on what the shortcut should be for the first Smash. Smash64, Smash... SSB64 would be pretty close to the existing SSB template which has a completely different function, though that makes me wonder if we should somehow merge these shortcut templates into the existing SSB, SSBM, SSBB, etc. templates without screwing with their current functionality. VinLAURiA (talk) 16:32, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
- Maybe instead a {{full|Brawl}}, or {{title|SSBB}}? (It would replace the existing "for3ds"/"forwiiu".) I think we should keep to not having a template for naturally short redirects like ''[[Brawl]]''. Toomai Glittershine The Aurum 16:39, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
- How about the name {{Smash}} for that template, then? That way it sort of works like how you'd naturally say it, like {{Smash|64}}, {{Smash|Brawl}}, {{Smash|4}}, and {{Smash|U}}. VinLAURiA (talk) 18:24, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
- Well, more like it works for how some weirdos naturally say it because they think it's acceptable when it really isn't. :P Toomai Glittershine The Spark 22:21, 24 October 2014 (EDT)
