| The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
| When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

*'''4 or 5'''. I honestly think that doing this on a case by case basis (which none of the options other than 5 actually allow for) would be best, as some character developers (such as Shigeru Miyamoto) are much more deserving of an article than others (such as Shigesato Itoi). However in the event that 5 is deemed unsatisfactory, I would much prefer 4 be implemented than any other option, as after all part of our duty as a wiki arguably should be to provide information on as many figureheads relevant to the Smash series as we can in order to truly be an encyclopedia on '''all''' things Smash.

Revision as of 14:19, April 6, 2018

This discussion is in regards to a proposed change on SmashWiki. The discussion must first meet with a consensus before it is implemented. |
Recently it's come to my attention that not everyone is quite on the same page when it comes to our scope on real people (specifically developers). Instead of arguing about this one at a time, I believe it more beneficial to come to an agreement on what our scope is when it comes to real people. Here's what we can do
- OPTION 1: Only create articles for developers who have directly contributed to the Smash series. List of developers significant to Super Smash Bros. gets deleted.
Any developer article we currently have that does not fit this bill will be deleted. - OPTION 2: Only create articles for developers who have directly contributed to the Smash series, and other developers get listed on List of developers significant to Super Smash Bros.
Articles who do not fit the bill will be merged into the list article and deleted. - OPTION 3: Only create articles for developers who have directly contributed to the Smash series, and List of developers significant to Super Smash Bros. gets renamed to "List of developers related to Super Smash Bros." or similar.
Articles who do not fit the bill will be merged into the list article and deleted, and the major Smash developers get taken off the list. - OPTION 4: Create articles for any developer responsible for the creation of a universe featured in Smash. List of developers significant to Super Smash Bros. gets deleted.
- OPTION 5: Leave it alone.
