:Yeh, no. Being someone who's obsessed with perfect grammar, both terms as grammatically correct and neither sounds informal. This isn't worth the effort imo.

==Ruling against "news report" writing== | |||
I think there should be some kind of rule against writing pages as if they were forums or news articles. Pages should to the best of our knowledge be written now as they should look later on down the line; if you just focus on keeping it up to date, you get what happened with Vergeben's page which got several whole-ass one-liner linebreaks for ''each minor update'' (tell me the "DLC leaks" section [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Vergeben_leaks&oldid=1328193 here] does not look stupid as fuck; I get doing this the first three times or so but after that it was clearly ridiculous). This was even acknowledged as a problem with posting about rumors [[Forum:Major overhaul for "List of rumors"|in this forum discussion]] ("Rumors are treated like a play-by-play with up-to-the-minute detail."), so I get the feeling it wasn't just me. I don't know how well competitive pages have dealt with this problem if at all, though given this message in the source of MkLeo's page ("We are in no rush to adding in these sections. If you are to add something, don't just add a sentence or two as if it's a real-time report."), I can't imagine it going very well there either. I am not suggesting we ban live reporting entirely - I already know [[SmashWiki talk:What SmashWiki is not#Suggestion: SW is not live|that proposal failed]], and [[List of Director's Room Miiverse posts|there are pages that effectively function as a time capsuled news report]] - but I think it needs to be made clear that just because we have a news section does not mean this is a news site and so it should not be treated like one. I suppose this could be solved with a new section in SW:NOT saying "SmashWiki is not a news report", but my issue is moreso with articles entering somewhat of a "forum" mode just so they're up of date; I figured this'd be the best place for that. - [[User:EndGenuity|EndGenuity]] ([[User talk:EndGenuity|talk]]) 01:16, February 2, 2023 (EST) |
