Thanks! I'll do my best! Nyargleblargle (Talk) 19:01, 8 April 2015 (EDT)

Pluralization...?

You do realize that, if a word ends with "s", there's no difference between putting " 's " or " ' ", right? For example, there's no difference between " Ness's " and " Ness' ". Just thought I'd point that out. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 07:15, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

With all due respect, that's not what I had been informed of. I believe that you always follow up possession with an S if it is a single subject. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 07:19, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

That's an...interesting way to look at it. Not to say it's wrong, but it's definitely different. Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura 08:44, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

I would agree with Nyargleblargle on this, but please note that according to the Manual of Style, both are acceptable and shouldn't be changed for the sake of it. After all, it's hardly worth arguing about, is it? Zyrac (talk) 09:03, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

Yeah. Looking into it, I guess different sources list the rules differently, so it is a bit of a gray area. Plus, we should be making constructive edits to the mainspace, not arguing over a single character. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 11:14, 13 April 2015 (EDT)

hey hey

I'm in the middle of splitting the taunt page, please hold off Miles (talk) 18:49, 21 April 2015 (EDT)

Are you talking about the Smash Bros 4 pics or the page I made? If it's the former, no problem. I'm done with those for the day. If it's the latter, I was only trying to help. Sorry for the inconvenience. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 18:51, 21 April 2015 (EDT)

I appreciated the help but the whole point of protecting the page was to prevent edit conflicts while I did some dissection across four new pages. My bad for not communicating that clearly enough. Miles (talk) 18:53, 21 April 2015 (EDT)

Oh, okay. Got it. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 18:55, 21 April 2015 (EDT)

SSB4 Costumes

Hello, this is me again. I have been doing a lot of research about the costumes in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U, and I have collected very high-quality posters for all of the alternate costumes (excluding Mewtwo, Lucas, and Mii Fighters). I was wondering if I was allowed to post them. Here is a link to go to the MediaFire download page that I have set up.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/fa86jdjwwci88mh/All+SSB4+Costumes.zip

Please respond as soon as possible. Thanks! Jamescamden05 (talk) 19:08, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

It's probably not in my jurisdiction, but I'd love them for my costume history page. If you upload them, that would be cool. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 21:09, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

To clarify, you should ask Miles or Toomai. They're the admins. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 21:11, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

Ok I will! Jamescamden05 (talk) 21:26, 22 April 2015 (EDT)

Head icons

I might as well let you continue to work on the default-colour SSB4-U heads, but know that I'll take care of the alt costume ones. Toomai Glittershine The Labbie 18:43, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

Thank you so much. Does that include the ones for Random and Ridley? Nyargleblargle (Talk) 18:44, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

You just do what you have/want, and XL will upload the rest. (Though he needs to wait until you're done, because she gets uppity when attempting to upload over an existing file.) Toomai Glittershine The Irrepressible 18:46, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

Okay, I've got all the default costumes down for everyone except the Fighting Mii Team Gunner (my copy of the icon seems to have been corrupted near the bottom). Thanks again! Nyargleblargle (Talk) 20:10, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

By the way, should we even try having XL replace the 3DS head icons with the Wii U ones, or should it be done on a more case-by-case basis? Like I pointed out, there are a few instances where the 3DS ones are more accurate. Miles (talk) 20:12, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

I think it works a bit better to keep them separate for 3DS-exclusive things, because the appearance of the 3DS icons is a bit less smoothed out (more limited palette?), but it isn't a huge deal either way. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 20:15, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

I meant more "is it worthwhile to try to automate replacing 3DS icons with Wii U icons when there are some instances where we want to keep the former?" Miles (talk) 20:17, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

Oh, replacing the instances. Yeah, it might be better to automate it, then work the 3DS icons back in where we need to. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 20:22, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

If someone can provide a list of pages that should not be changed, I can run XL on everything else. Toomai Glittershine The Quintonic 22:33, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

To my knowledge the only such cases are things like Umebura 8 and the other handful of tourneys between the two versions' release dates. Determining an exact list of those is proving difficult, barring very tedious search methods. Maybe just do it for everything and have us manually undo it for any we specifically find? Miles (talk) 22:53, 27 April 2015 (EDT)

Plurals

[[Party Ball]]s yields Party Balls with a link to the singular. This is a basic MediaWiki thing, so a template is unnecessary. Miles (talk) 21:14, 1 May 2015 (EDT)

Oh, I didn't know that trick. You can delete the template then. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 21:16, 1 May 2015 (EDT)

This

For a future reference, read SW:QDV and do not post anything on vandalism's talk page. That would make it worse. Luigi540 (talk) 15:49, 2 May 2015 (EDT)

Sorry, forgot about that. It's been a while since I read it. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 15:51, 2 May 2015 (EDT)

Moving pages

A couple of heads up:

1. Never ever move a page by copy-paste. Pages should only be moved by the move page button, so as to preserve their history.
2. In instances of major pages being moved (such as the one you were doing), there may be a heavy degree of associated re-linking and other associated edits that would need to be done. I have it on my to-do list because it's not a simple process, and I was planning on asking Toomai to assist with his bot.

I'm sorry to have to revert, but it's not just a "let's jump in and do this" kind of thing when it's a big page. Miles (talk) 17:41, 11 May 2015 (EDT)

Ah. I see. Sorry about that. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 17:42, 11 May 2015 (EDT)

I don't know if your finished adding cleanup tags for moveset tables, but...

Here is a full list of those who need them Serpent King (talk) 15:32, 4 June 2015 (EDT)

Didn't finish. This will help a lot, thanks! Nyargleblargle (Talk) 15:33, 4 June 2015 (EDT)

Just an FYI, this will probably be my next project after the Melee Debug Menu project is done. Serpent King (talk) 15:38, 4 June 2015 (EDT)

By the way, I think we need to get with Toomai before doing anything to the extended moveset tables. I am not sure who made them. Serpent King (talk) 15:55, 4 June 2015 (EDT)

Maybe I can put some of the info on move subpages sometime. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 16:00, 4 June 2015 (EDT)

Conversation with Kid_A

Hey, is there any way for me to delete my account? Thanks. Kid_A (talk) 19:58, 14 June 2015 (EDT)

Not that I know of. Why would you, though? You can request for your userpage to be deleted by putting {{delete|___}} on the page, with the blank representing your reason for deletion. Other than that, I see no reason for you to delete your account and continue making useful contributions. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 20:01, 14 June 2015 (EDT)

Thx Man 4 being so nice. LETS BE BFF'S! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Likeaboss4$maSh! (talk • contribs) 16:14, 20 June 2015 (EDT)

Huh?

How do I get a head Icon? Tell me on my talk page or on here. Ur choice.M0nkledon4 (talk) 09:34, 30 June 2015 (EDT)

Upload a duplicate of the head icon and put it under the User Images category. then, add the image to your signature, making sure it's only 20x20. The syntax would be something like [[File:Icon.jpg|20px]]. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 11:56, 30 June 2015 (EDT)

Sm4sh trophy anchoring.

I'll hit Star Fox, Kirby, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, F-Zero (definitely), and Pikmin if you do the rest. Serpent King (talk) 22:17, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

I'll try to hit as many as I can by Saturday. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 22:19, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Tomorrow will be my mass edit day. I plan to complete my Stage Data page as well. Serpent King (talk) 22:22, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

Got it. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 22:25, 7 July 2015 (EDT)

You have permission to use and edit this. Serpent King (talk) 15:38, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

Thanks! Nyargleblargle (Talk) 09:49, 9 July 2015 (EDT)

Disambig titles

We had this discussion earlier, and the conclusion was that it doesn't matter whether the titles indicates a disambiguation page. – Smiddle 03:53, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

Got it. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 10:14, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

Wait wait wait. That only says that it is not entirely necessary to rename disambig. It says nothing about it not being allowed. Serpent King (talk) 13:57, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

That's how I interpreted it. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 14:50, 8 July 2015 (EDT)

'Ello mate!

I have created a template as you may have saw, that auto-formats trophy descriptions for use on individual pages (I've used it here, for example). Problem is...there's a lot of work in this. I was wondering if I couldn't get your help on this. Serpent King (talk) 08:46, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

I'm not really going to be able to help much this weekend, but I'll see if I can't get the odd article. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 10:27, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

Skull Crusher

Are you sure this isn't the official name? Smash Wiki does have an article on this move. Sausage12 (talk) 14:35, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Yes, but it was given that name by the competitive community. We don't have EXTENDUR as the name of Samus's grab. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 14:36, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Alright, thanks for the explanation. I also noticed you reverted my clone edit. I did't see the Mewtwo and Lucario example in the article, so I thought that it would be worth adding. Sausage12 (talk) 14:38, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Looking at the page and how it handles Wolf, I suppose you could make a note of it, just in the Smash 4 section. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 14:40, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Thank you for your input. Sausage12 (talk) 14:47, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

No problem. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 14:48, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Excuse me

But where are you getting your data from? There has never been a "head" SFX-type in any game and I've seen no evidence of such in SSB4. Toomai Glittershine The Incomperable 15:50, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

I haven't been able to find Brawl's SFX IDs, so I made an inference based on its usage in Mario's up smash. The actual SFX ID is 0x1. I apologize for my assumption. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 15:58, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Brawl's are in here. From my 1.0.0 notes, SSB4 makes the following additions: 0x1e = coin 2, 0x1f = cape, 0x22 = poke, 0x23 = pill, 0x2b = maxaura. Toomai Glittershine The Breegull 16:03, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

Thanks. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 16:16, 20 July 2015 (EDT)

uh

since when can i not edit my own userpage to remove all the autism from 3 years ago? also i forgot how to sign stuff so sorry about that —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.94.220.102 (talk • contribs) 10:23 1 August 2015 (EDT)

If it's your userpage, please sign into your account. Also, sign your comments with four tildas (~). Nyargleblargle (Talk) 10:26, 1 August 2015 (EDT)

i hope you understand that i never want to have anything to do with that autism-stained account i used to have, to the point where i don't want to even log into it anymore. 86.94.220.102 10:28, 1 August 2015 (EDT)

Unfortunately, unless you log in, I can't treat you as anything more than a vandal. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 10:32, 1 August 2015 (EDT)

where the fuck ddi you get that idea from? where is that written?86.94.220.102 10:37, 1 August 2015 (EDT)

If it is you Wolf, go on IRC. Might be able to authenticate who you are with some questions. Great edit by the way.--Shwido 10:43, 1 August 2015 (EDT)

This is definitely Wolf, no doubt about it.--Shwido 11:00, 1 August 2015 (EDT)

Oi

XL is going to do those category flips at some point. You don't have to worry about it. You'll be there all year. There are over 600. Serpent King (talk) 18:25, 6 August 2015 (EDT)

I know, but it can't hurt to help a bit. It's kinda dumb, but… Nyargleblargle (Talk) 18:28, 6 August 2015 (EDT)

I'm a little dumb for doing them like that in the first place. XD Serpent King (talk) 18:30, 6 August 2015 (EDT)

It's ok though. You can get all the Floats and Target Test ones ;D Serpent King (talk) 18:38, 6 August 2015 (EDT)

Event match Icons

Sorry, mate, didn't realize you had it. Go on and do it. I don't even have Sm4sh. Serpent King (talk) 19:56, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

Well, I can only upload in .jpg, so if you want to upload them in .png, go ahead. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 20:03, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

Why's that? Serpent King (talk) 20:16, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

The device I'm on always saves images as .jpg. It's really silly. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 20:20, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

What is it? You using a screen capture or an actual spriter? Serpent King (talk) 20:59, 9 August 2015 (EDT)

I just right-click and save the image. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 06:29, 10 August 2015 (EDT)

You ultimately persuaded me, but I still have questions.

Now I have an account, but I don't know where to go from there. Can you show me how to create a userpage and user talk page? I would be much obliged. Ganonmew (talk) 16:07, 17 August 2015 (EDT)

Just made you a user talk page. :) You can try clicking on the red link near the top of the talk page to make your user page. If you can't make the page, wait a few days. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 16:09, 17 August 2015 (EDT)

For your efforts...

Thanks so much! Nyargleblargle (Talk) 19:12, 26 August 2015 (EDT)

Thanks

Thank you. - Drilly Dilly (talk) 18:44, 27 August 2015 (EDT)

No problem. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 19:00, 27 August 2015 (EDT)

I'm thanking you for my userpage. - Drilly Dilly (talk) 00:04, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

I know. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 06:19, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

I could use some help if you need something to do.

I am about to upload a ton of images for the custom sets. If you want, you can help by templateing them as they come in here. You'll need the names for each attack though. Serpent∞King (talk) 22:22, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Sure. I don't know how long I'll be able to stay on, but I can help for a little. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 22:24, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

How many custom sets did you upload before? I just checked, and they appear to be the same size as mine, which is what I wanted. If we move all these files, though, we'd have to edit the move page (or really just remove the image from the gallery, as it will be in my template anyway) accordingly, and tag each redir for deletion. It will not be a very clean process. Serpent∞King (talk) 22:31, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Roughly half the cast excluding default specials, but most of them are .jpgs, so we would have to add a format variable to the template. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 22:34, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Or rename accordingly. Serpent∞King (talk) 22:35, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

I don't think you can move a .jpg to a .png... can you? Nyargleblargle (Talk) 22:36, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

I can try. Serpent∞King (talk) 22:38, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Guess not. That sucks. Serpent∞King (talk) 22:43, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Eh, I could code in the format option if you want. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 22:46, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

(reset indent) I'd rather just upload new ones :/ consistency is a powerful thing in Wikis. Serpent∞King (talk) 22:48, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

That's true. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 22:49, 28 August 2015 (EDT)

Thanks.

I honestly don't know the ins of the wiki yet, so thanks for the Marth page edit. And thanks for cleaning up Destiny's page, IDK why I left that. Ganonmew (talk) 18:48, 29 August 2015 (EDT)

No problem, it happens to the best of us. Nyargleblargle (Talk) 18:53, 29 August 2015 (EDT)
