#:::That may be true, but the character articles are much larger in comparison to the other articles, and thus require significantly more contributions. Regardless, this is still a step in the wrong direction, and one I doubt will be undone any time soon if it passes, therefore adding another large log to the fire as it were.

#::::I'd like to point out that, as an encyclopedia of information, it ''is'' our job to report on the facts. When those facts become misinterpreted and make way for people trying to state those misinterpretations as other facts of their own, the whole of the wiki becomes a conglomerate of misinformation that [https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/dalm4p/kirby_aerial_frame_data/ people have, and will, ridicule us for].

#'''Strong oppose'''. Cutting off IPs from editing could be incredibly counterproductive, because while many IPs are assholes and regularly vandalize the site there is a large amount of IPs that actually provide beneficial edits and like Alex said, some people may be incapable of creating account for one reason or another and cutting them off simply because other people are pricks could discourage them from helping SmashWiki grow. Obviously, people will be people and continue to vandalize the site but character articles are quite popular pages and people add helpful information to them basically every day. More people being open to edit prominent pages like these is in the spirit of the wiki and there must be a better way to consistently deal with the vandals. I'm sure our userbase is competent enough to find a better solution, one of which has already been proposed.
