How feasible is it to use XL to convert [[interwiki:string|string]] into {{s|interwiki|string}}? A lot of pages have these still hanging around, and some (like List of stickers (complete list)) would be egregiously tedious to do manually. Miles (talk) 17:36, 7 December 2015 (EST)

The problem with this is that XL can't tell what's an interwiki link and what's a namespace link because they use the same syntax. I'm not currently sure if there's a way to deal with that without doing one pass for each interwiki prefix (which is probably not a good idea). That said, it may be possible to create a list of pages where we can assume every such link is interwiki, and tell it to only work on that list. Toomai Glittershine

The Aurum 09:04, 8 December 2015 (EST)

Alright. Since it's not exactly urgent, don't worry about it then. Miles (talk) 13:11, 8 December 2015 (EST)

Favor

Do you think you could upload the directionals for the N64 Controller's control stick? They are for use here. Serpent King 22:31, 7 December 2015 (EST)

I should be able to in a bit yes. Toomai Glittershine

The Aurum 09:04, 8 December 2015 (EST)

I'm going to assume you already have these but

deleting my account

I'm really upset at the recent Smash announcement and want to eliminate traces of the Smash series from myself. One of these things is my Smashwiki account, which I want deleted. Thank you in advance. MarioIsTheBest (talk) 17:41, 15 December 2015 (EST)

It is impossible to delete an account. Toomai Glittershine

???

how can i create my own quote template like yours Nintendofan1653 (talk) 08:20, 19 December 2015 (EST)

The {{User:Toomai/Quotes}} thing? You have to make a page for it, and then you just put in the template brackets and it shows up.

Aidan, the Jolly Space Warrior

08:22, 19 December 2015 (EST)

so does that mean the page name has to have the brackets too? Nintendofan1653 (talk) 08:30, 19 December 2015 (EST)

No, the page name when making it doesn't have to have the brackets in it.

okay thx Nintendofan1653 (talk) 08:32, 19 December 2015 (EST)

About that vandal

Do you think you could check their IP too? I have a hunch that it's another one of Drilly's vandal accounts based on the similar patterns of his previous ones. Disaster Flare (talk) 17:18, 19 December 2015 (EST)

It's not really related, but given the time of year (i.e. people visiting relatives and crap) it would be pretty inconclusive either way. Toomai Glittershine

Da Bess 17:21, 19 December 2015 (EST)

Alright, I'll keep watch for any other incidents like this. Disaster Flare

did you see the ton new RFR's (sorry if i sound impatient, it been 9 days) Nintendofan1653 (talk) 19:06, 19 December 2015 (EST)

new FA

amiibo has been the FA for a while... do you think it is time for a change? Nintendofan1653 (talk) the true north strong and free 19:36, 24 December 2015 (EST)

I mean I don't mind it. You can try to revive the discussion on SW:FA I guess. Toomai Glittershine

The Yellow 19:57, 24 December 2015 (EST)

quick question

ive been looking through this and i want to ask... what happened to all these other admins... were they demoted or something like that? Nintendofan1653 (talk) the true north strong and free 16:20, 26 December 2015 (EST)

Many of our admins simply stop participating due to boredom, lack of interest, other obligations, etc. When we left Wikia we only kept the ones that were still around at that time (since you had to re-make accounts). Toomai Glittershine

PM's ZSS

I've made a Pallete file for ZSS, but, I can't overwrite (I know why), so, can you overwrite it for me?

Please add new sections to the bottom of talk pages, sign your comments, and do not directly link to outside images.

As for your actual question: To my knowledge, the updated art that you used never made it into the actual release of PM 3.6, and so doesn't belong. Toomai Glittershine

HawkSoulBacon...

Hey boss, they're calling you right here. -- Happy Holidays from BeepYou :] 00:25, 31 December 2015 (EST)

So you removed protection from the Ceiling glitch page...

but it's still protected. 98.157.202.185 01:26, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Refresh the page, it's not protected. Serpent

King 01:29, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Oh, ok. Sorry. 98.157.202.185 01:33, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Well, I must have been very tired last night, because it's still protected. If you log out, where it says to edit, it says, "view source" instead. 98.157.202.185 11:12, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Ok, it says view source, but I can edit it. Weird. 98.157.202.185 11:41, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Hey

I uploaded the Banjo and Kazooie image and the symbol. Hope you like it. Collaterale15 (talk) 09:30, 13 January 2016 (EST)

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they'll be okay if I never bother to do it myself I guess. Toomai Glittershine

The Brass 15:03, 13 January 2016 (EST)

Name change

I blocked User:76.254.59.3600 for having a username that looks like an IP, then posted my usual "here's what you should do now" blurp. He responded, wishing to rename to "Jonathan Williams". If you could do that soon, that would be great. Thanks! Serpent King 19:20, 14 January 2016 (EST)

rename

i would like to rename myself as Poultry Nintendofan1653 (talk) EZMONEY!! 16:02, 30 January 2016 (EST)

SSB4 tier list

Regarding it, I think it's too early for a tier list. I know we can't do anything about it, just write it out, but I'd like to know about your opinion on it. -- The 70's called. They said BeepYou was here :v (talk) 22:38, 1 February 2016 (EST)

I don't have an opinion. Toomai Glittershine

The Hammer 22:39, 1 February 2016 (EST)

Alright, so no opinion. That's... meh, I guess. But do you think it'll be obsolete this wednesday? --

The 70's called. They said BeepYou was here :v (talk) 23:33, 1 February 2016 (EST)

So I uploaded the head icons

But I wasn't sure that I named these three images correctly (not sure if "Original" should be in the title, given that none of her other costume set share colors). Could you look at that real fast before they get used? Thanks. Serpent King 01:58, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Actually, nevermind, I know this is wrong. It has to match the alternate costumes page, right? Serpent

King 02:15, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Which hasn't been updated yet, so it doesn't matter as long as the two end up consistent in the end. Toom's usually been the one deciding on the nomenclature, though. Miles (talk) 02:17, 4 February 2016 (EST)

speaking of which Miles (talk) 02:48, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Getting rollback.

I once stopped a vandal as an IP. would that be allowed to use in a RFR? Please leave a message for Penro when you see something wrong I did. 20:30, 4 February 2016 (EST)

I am okay with this, provided you explain in the RfR why you're linking to an IP's revert, and of course I would have to confirm that it is your IP (probably with CheckUser). Toomai Glittershine

The Sphere 23:56, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Here is some confirmation. Nonetheless, thanks! Please leave a message for Penro when you see something wrong I did.

Question

Is there a quick way to make a throw template for SSB4 that also includes weight dependence? I'm looking at the file of Diddy Kong's up throw and it appears that not too many parameters are present. Of course there may be additional hits, but those look like normal hitboxes to me. Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 10:10, 6 February 2016 (EST)

If you mean the same type of template as used on Mr. Game & Watch (SSBM)/Down throw, then no, there's no quick way to do it. I can (try to) make it the next thing I do in that area though. Toomai Glittershine

The Chilled 10:40, 7 February 2016 (EST)

Okay, I'll be waiting for it. No need to rush it, the wikitables suffice for now. Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 11:34, 7 February 2016 (EST)

Something you should probably see

Forum:Smashpedia is using our information#I hate to bring it up again, but... Serpent King 13:19, 10 February 2016 (EST)

Transcluding data to list of update pages

Are we going to keep pages like List of updates (SSB4)/1.1.0 changelog because we cannot transclude only some of the data? Are we going to have it all in one page? Is there more coding you have to change to the wiki to make it work? -- Ethan (Discussion) 16:21, 11 February 2016 (EST)

Out of curiosity

What is the main difference between and ? Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 09:28, 12 February 2016 (EST)

I'm not Toomai, but I think the latter is used for spikes and meteor smashes, or a stronger hit. Penro ...that's all.

09:39, 12 February 2016 (EST)

That's what I thought too, but according to file usage, power doesn't seem to matter. And spikes don't exist outside of "Melee". Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 09:46, 12 February 2016 (EST)

In Melee, angle 285 is a spike (red). In Brawl, angle 285 is a meteor (orange). In SSB4, angle 285 is a meteor, but meteor cancelling doesn't exist (red). Toomai Glittershine The Altruistic 19:36, 12 February 2016 (EST)

Oh ok, it's directly related to meteor cancelling. Thanks! Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 06:26, 13 February 2016 (EST)

Anything you Want?

Well, now that I'm off the ban you wisely gave me, I'm ready for action. Is there anything I can do for you in my spare time?Swagman (talk) 02:16, 14 February 2016 (EST)

IRC ban

I don't know why, but someone banned me from the IRC channel. Serpent King doesn't know who! Do you have a theory on who did it? Swagman, the Green Swordsman 23:29, 19 February 2016 (EST)

Another data-related question

In smash attack files, one of the first lines reads "?SetBit". Does that signify the charge interval? Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 14:33, 20 February 2016 (EST)

Possibly, but probably not. For smash attacks and most special attacks, no, becauze their charge interval is determined by the length of the windup animation. But there are probably a few special attacks that act differently. Toomai Glittershine

The Obfuscating 09:33, 21 February 2016 (EST)

Noted. I'll leave it out of the pages for now. Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 13:39, 21 February 2016 (EST)

Don't mean to be impatient, but...

my RFR has been sitting for almost a week. Again, aI don't mean to be impatient, just, you know. Penro ...that's all. 14:37, 20 February 2016 (EST)

I do miss and/or forget things; pointing out RfRs is good. Toomai Glittershine

The Altruistic 09:33, 21 February 2016 (EST)

Idk if Penro's RFR is technically open so I'll just say it here

The IP in his third revert has a significant past history of being annoying on talk pages, and also two IPs to get past a block (I think? or maybe he just used the second one for some other random reason). Just thought I'd point this out to make sure you knew. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 12:45, 21 February 2016 (EST)

Did we ever figure out what we are doing with those update templates?

I would like to get started on them soon (before the character pages get even more inconsistent with the update pages), so what did we figure out? I don't have a problem with starting over and making character subs to my original template, but I just have to know. Serpent King 23:59, 27 February 2016 (EST)

No I don't think we did figure it out. I think someone mentioned that none of the available ideas worked to describe things like stage changes? I don't remember. Toomai Glittershine

Da Bomb 09:29, 28 February 2016 (EST)

Well for my way, we could easily just make a "character" called stage changes. Serpent

Magic effect

In SSB4, magic is now an effect. But I'm trying to edit Palu's pummel because it is Magic/Magic (type/effect), but the effect displays as 16px. Can you please fix it? -- BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 16:51, 3 March 2016 (EST)

Right yeah hmm. I was trying to hold off on making images for the new effects until we could figure all of them out 100%, but if you need it I guess it'll have to happen. Toomai Glittershine

The Chilled 09:45, 4 March 2016 (EST)

Now that we're on the subject of effects, what effect do windboxes use? Water? Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 10:30, 4 March 2016 (EST)

BTW, there IS an image for the "magic" type (

), but said image cannot be used on the "effect" row. I think that's the only issue you would need to fix. --

BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 22:07, 4 March 2016 (EST)

"windbox" is an archaic/too-entrenched-to-change term for "hitboxes that don't cause flinching". They can have any effect, though they tend to be Normal.

I know an image exists already for the type, but notice how the Water type and effect have different images; this case should be the same. I plan to upload the three easy new ones (Magic, Stab, Solar) at the same time, so it might be a day or two (it's been a while since I've had to make any new ones, so I may need to re-do some things from scratch). Toomai Glittershine

Any possibility of updating the images to be Smash 4 images instead of Brawl? Or perhaps a unique mishmash of all the various games? 64.62.219.168 14:59, 6 March 2016 (EST)
