| == Region Pages ==
| |
| | |
| M3D's recent lists of categories/tournaments by region and state give me an idea. We can easily create a page for each major area (maybe six or seven in all) and list on that page notable players, recurring tournaments (only recurring) and crews. Give me the go ahead, and I'll contact M3D and he and I can get started on it. -- [[User:Delphiki|Bean]] 01:06, February 27, 2007 (GMT)

| :You'll hear no objections from me. Project Smasher is my favourite SmashWiki game of them all! -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 03:35, February 27, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| | |
| ::I'd like to go ahead and start on this. I'll create a category called [[:Category:Smash Communities]] which will hold a collection of pages of notable smash regions, such as the San Jose Area and the Sacramento Area (just local examples). A player searching for people in his area can look to that page which will contain lists of notable Smashers and crews in that region. I'll start work tonight, or someone else can begin creating pages for their regions. -- [[User:Delphiki|Bean]] 01:46, March 21, 2007 (GMT)

| == Shh... ==

| Whenever I go to www.smashwiki.com, it just says "Nothing to see here." Why? Shouldn't it just redirctto the main page? Like, what's up with that? Did I miss something? - [[User:Brawlmatt202|Brawlmatt202]] 19:57, March 2, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| : This is because we haven't officially "launched" yet. When we do (which I know I keep saying will be soon, but trust me, there's a reason) we'll make it a redirect. --[[User:Kirby King|<font color="red"><b><i>Kirby King</i></b></font>]] 20:06, March 2, 2007 (GMT)

| == Problem with a redirection ==
| |
| | |
| A member of my Smash crew goes by the name 'Green', but he can't add a page about himself because Green redirects to Green Shell. What should I do? [[User:Trig.|Trig.]] 14:20, March 4, 2007 (CST)
| |
| : The page can be named [[Green (smasher)]]. You see, searching for shell doesn't work. That's why green and red redirects to the shell articles. When that's fixed, the page can be moved to [[Green]]. {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 20:31, March 4, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| :Ok, I think I might have done something wrong because now Green redirects to Green (Smasher) instead of Green Shell.
| |
| :: That's weird [{{FULLURL:Green|redirect=no}} here] it says it redirects to [[Green Shell]], but clicking a the link or writing 'green' in the search box links to [[Green (smasher)]]. Maybe that's related to the shell issue ... ? {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 20:42, March 4, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| | |
| ==[[Red Shell]]==
| |
| Every time I try to go to the [[Red Shell]] page, I ke4ep getting this:
| |
| | |
| Forbidden
| |
| You don't have permission to access /wiki/Red_Shell on this server.
| |
| | |
| Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
| |
| | |
| What's up with that? - [[User:Brawlmatt202|Brawlmatt202]] 14:25, March 5, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| | |
| : Any URL with the word "shell" doesn't work. The devious powers-that-be are playing with our souls!! ....err, rather, we haven't found any rhyme or reason to why the shell glitch occurs, but for the meantime we redirect from "red" or "green." {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 16:14, March 5, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| | |
| :: <s>Well, [[Green]] redirects to [[Green (smasher)]], even if [{{FULLURL:Green|redirect=no}}it says] it redirects to [[Green Shell]]... see [[#Problem with a redirection]].</s> {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 17:55, March 5, 2007 (GMT)

| == In dire need of uniformity ==
| |
| I notice lots of different uses of tenses and POVs in naming schemes. For example, there are two articles for the Wall Jump, named Wall jump and Wall jumping. Also, we need to use proper title caps for article titles. "Wall jump" is not acceptable. I suggest a non plural(unless several types exist) and neutral tense titles. No "Wave Dashing", "wave Dashing", or "Bunny Hoods". "Beam Swords" might be acceptable if the article covers both Beam Swords in the series. Page URLs and locations are case sensitive. We MUST decide on a uniform naming system now, or we'll have a total mess. It would be best to get everything organized now, while the number of pages are small and link fixing is minimal.

| :This belongs in the [[SmashWiki:Pool Room|Pool Room]]. [[User:WaluigiIsAwesome|WaluigiIsAwesome]] 18:16, March 9, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| :: Moved to the Pool Room. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 19:37, March 9, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| :: Per this topic, here are a few guidelines I follow:
| |
| * use the singular form of nouns
| |
| * with verbs, use the gerund form ([[jump-canceling]]) unless the original form ([[wavedash]]) can also be used as a noun.
| |
| * do NOT use title caps. This is against the "rules" for titles but more appropriate for an encyclopedia, because we're documenting the proper capitalization of the term (hence, [[wall jumping]] is the proper title). Wiki software automatically capitalizes the first letter of the title; not much we can do about that.
| |
| * full names should be used, not abbreviations. Thus, [[forward aerial]] instead of "f-air" or "AFA."
| |
| :: I think these things should be put in a help page or a SmashWiki guideline, so that people know how to name their articles. I'll start on that right now. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 19:45, March 9, 2007 (GMT)

| == StrategyWiki ==
| |
| | |
| Hi, I come from [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page StrategyWiki]. A wiki site dedicated to providing video game strategies and guides for all games. For more about what we are standing for, see [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/StrategyWiki:What_makes_StrategyWiki_different here].
| |
| | |
| I come here asking for the community of the Smash Boards, and smashwiki in particular, would be interested in helping us to flesh out our [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/SSB SSB] [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/SSBM SSBM] and [http://strategywiki.org/wiki/SSBB SSBB] guides. We have several dedicated Smash players there (myself included) and we have been working on the guides of the two released games for a while, but we could definitly use the touch of some of the more veteran smash players of the world, and I figured this would be the best place to find them. We are forming a small group to start up work on the SSBB guide as soon as we can get our hands on it, but nothing would help out more then the members here taking a look at all our smash games and lending their expertise. If this isn't possible, I ask if the content in this wiki could be lent in it's current form (via [[Special:Export]]) to expand our guides. According to your copyright status, it doesn't seem possible without relicensing of content, which you stipulate may be done at any point.
| |
| | |
| If any of the members here more knowledgeable in the game could help out at strategywiki, it would be greatly appreciated. Regardless of the response I get to this topic here I'm going to check out this wiki and the forums myself, can't believe I didn't come here earlier. So hello :) [[User:Mason11987|Mason11987]] 02:11, March 10, 2007 (GMT)

| == Languages ==
| |
| | |
| Currently, the only page in other languages is [[Global Smasher Compendium]] ([[GSC/fr|fr]], [[GSC/sv|sv]], [[GSC/es|es]]) which I personally find a shame. Maybe we should have other pages in other languages (like [[sv:Super Smash Bros. Melee]] for a Swedish SSBM article). Whaddcha think? {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 18:26, March 12, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| : Eh? {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 19:13, March 20, 2007 (GMT)
| |
| :: I don't know that we have enough of an international audience for that to make a huge difference. Also I'd be concerned about having to monitor the content of different wikis in different languages on top of this one, and handling policies on each, and the extra administrative work that would probably be involved. I'm really just not convinced that there's a significant need for this. --[[User:Kirby King|<font color="red"><b><i>Kirby King</i></b></font>]] 02:07, March 21, 2007 (GMT)

| == Links ==
| |
| | |
| How do I make my words into a link? Normally I just put that [1] thingy, but I'd like to have the words as the link. Also, how do I put that box where I can display information?--[[User:Smasherboy13|Smasherboy13]] 15:13, March 17, 2007 (GMT)

| == Engrish ==
| |
| | |
| Is it necessary to have the Japanese pronunciations if it's just Engrish? Is there a point to writing "Kyaputen Farukon" (Captain Falcon) or "Roi" (Roy) or "Rinku" (Link)? Some, such as Pikachu and Mario are written exactly the same way. And this also goes for "Kuppa" (Bowser). Why not just write "Koopa" and leave it at that? {{Unsigned|Greenblob}}
| |
| : There is a point for that. {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 17:18, March 18, 2007 (GMT)
