:::I would also agree with you that Brian is getting away with his insults without punishments but you would have to admit that he's a Melee semi-professional who knows about competitive play (even perhaps second most knowledgeable on this wiki after PokemonMasterJamal3) and he makes reliable edits to that kind of content, even when he has to rudely revert a user's edits. So despite his rude behavior, Toomai and Miles still lets him go due to his good deeds.

== NIWA News ==
A few users, myself included, found the '''''Warning! New challenger approaching!''''' label for the new NIWA wiki to be a tad confusing. May I suggest changing it to something like '''''Warning! New wiki approaching!''''' ?

== Unusual characters ==
What's the problem with “unusual” characters, as you put it in your edit summary at [[List of challenges (SSB4-Wii U)]]? They make articles more readable. —[[User:Fenhl|Fenhl]] 16:21, 6 July 2015 (EDT)
:I compared the article text [http://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_challenges_(SSB4-Wii_U)&oldid=694456 before] and [http://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_challenges_(SSB4-Wii_U)&oldid=694457 after] my edit that removed the unusuals and saw no appreciable difference; the difference between the "thin space" and normal space was almost imperceptible, and the curly quotes looked extremely out of place simply because they're not used anywhere else. In that sense, it's a matter of consistency. This is not to mention that curly quotes tend to have a bad reputation on wikis to my knowledge, as bots, the search function, and even some browsers don't really understand them properly if they need to do a search or replace operation. Wikipedia also [[wikipedia:MOS:QUOTEMARKS|notes]] that "Straight quotation marks are easier to type and edit reliably regardless of computer configuration". Basically, with minimal at best benefit for the reader, and several issues for the editor, we should just keep things simple. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Orchestral 19:29, 6 July 2015 (EDT)
:: What you call “imperceptible” can be a huge difference in readability for some readers. The thin space and “curly” (left and right) quotes ''are'' used in other articles. Thin spaces make numbers more readable by keeping the digit groups closer together, and the “straight” ASCII quote is a relic from times where there was not enough room in the character set for two different quote characters. In the interest of consistency, correct typography should be used everywhere. What you might have heard about curly quotes being incompatible with certain programs might actually be referring to HTML code, where ASCII quotes should always be used to delimit attributes. The English Wikipedia is the odd one out here: most other wikis (including Wikipedia in other languages) do not have this rule. If you can't type the correct quotes for some reason, use ASCII quotes and someone else will fix them for you. They can be easily typed on OS X, iOS, Android, and as far as I can tell also on Windows with the most common keyboard layouts (older versions of Windows may use a more complex keystroke). Basically, the benefits for readers far outweigh the potential issues for editors, so correct typography should be used at all times. —[[User:Fenhl|Fenhl]] 02:00, 21 July 2015 (EDT)
:::A search reveals there are seven pages on the entire wiki that use curly quotes. Two are [[List of Director's Room Miiverse posts]] and [[List of tips (SSB4-Wii U)]], where copying the original source is paramount. One is History of the Midwest Smash Scene, a massive blob of outdated barely-wiki-valid text. One is [[Sonic (SSB4)]], which has it for his taunts for some reason (no other character pages do). The last three ([[Event match]], [[List of trophies by unlock criteria (SSB4-Wii U)]], [[List of unlockables (SSB4-Wii U)]]) are all pages that you have added curly quotes to. Therefore, I would say that "curly quotes are being used in articles" is currently at best inconcistent with the wiki as a whole.
:::It appears you are suggesting we convert the entire wiki to use curly quotes. As proven many times, bots are not good at this, meaning we would have to do it manually. I hope you agree this is very infeasible and almost impossible to enforce, given that pretty much the entire current userbase other than yourself is not used to the concept (hey, you yourself neglected a curly apostrophe in your "can't" above).
:::Thin spaces in numbers is usually not an issue whatsoever, since I think the two million G on the challenge panel is the only case where the game (and the wiki) uses spaces instead of commas for delimiting. But if the resulting difference is a single pixel on my screen, I'm going to have a hard time believing that it's easier to read.

== Question regarding use of SmashWiki text ==
Hey Toomai, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but I was planning on making a Smash app, where I would use some text from Smash Wiki.

== Trophy Prices ==
So, I don't know if you care or not, but we're currently creating an Excel sheet with ALL trophies and prices (if applicable) and discovered that trophies can have different prices between versions. For example, the Hammer Bro trophy is 300 coins in the 3DS version and 500 coins in the Wii U version. I think this means the "Price" column on the few tables that have it will have to be changed. Also, if you know how to make an Excel file public, I'd greatly appreciate it. [[User:AmoongussForLife|AmoongussForLife]] ([[User talk:AmoongussForLife|talk]]) 06:17, 23 July 2015 (EDT)

:::Just looked at the page again. *facepalm* I suppose the first question is now null... I also think all the (Alt.) trophies are 1000.

== Account change ==
Hello Toomai, I had again left the wiki for a long while and I now want to make edits again... but still needing to have those old posts in my talk page bothers me. I dislike them now, they look too old and stupid, and that's considering people will have to see them if they want to talk to me.
So, would it be fine if I make a new account and then you delete this one? Otherwise I can't really feel comfortable. I'd really appreciate the help.

:If it bothers you that much, just archive the talkpage and make a new blank one. That way the old stuff still exists without being in obvious view. For the record, it is impossible to delete an account without merging it into some other account.

::Ok then, but I'd still like to change my username, this time to '''DracoRexKing''': sounds more creative and original (without similar names coming around), and that's how my Miiverse account and even my Miis in Smash (with abbreviations) are called now.

== ''SSB64/Smash 64'' and ''SSB4/Smash 4'', easily confusable ==
When abbreviating ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', ''SSB64'' looks very similar to ''SSB4'', as does ''Smash 64'' to ''Smash 4''. While many people agree with not using initials for the games, this confusability is bugging me. From now onward should I use ''SSB64'' and ''Smash 4'' instead? Because ''Sm4sh'' sounds too informal for the wiki...

:It's true that in most cases, unused images can be deleted. But that special page only catches most usages, not all: for example, images that are used in people's custom CSSs won't be found, and so will appear as unused even if they're not. These two specific images I would like to be left alone for now for those reasons.

== Nav? ==
Can you please have a <nowiki>{{nav}}</nowiki> template on your page. You have a ton of amazing and useful sub-pages that are a total pain to find.
