#I would view this as a "last resort" and I think there are steps that should be tried before getting to that point. I'd like to recommend increased enforcement such as a new patroller group like the MarioWiki has. --[[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] ([[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]) 13:56, December 27, 2019 (EST) | #I would view this as a "last resort" and I think there are steps that should be tried before getting to that point.

#No, no, a million times no. '''This is a terrible idea''' that would only serve to further isolate the Wiki from the Smash community, which like it or not is the community we owe almost all our traffic to. IP editing is an integral part of this Wiki, as it is an integral part of many wikis, and carrying out such a change would reduce the flow of information coming in. As I have said before, it is far easier to undo vandalism than it is to contribute new information to the Wiki, which I know as someone who has done both many times in the past. Many users do not wish to make an account, for various reasons, and requiring account creation [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Special:Contributions/Cheezygg1 does not stop vandalism]. Sorry if I am repeating things I have said in the past, but that's what happens when you repeatedly fight similar battles.

#'''Oppose''' as per the same logic as Porple. Also, if [[SmashWiki:Character articles protection list]] were to pass it would greatly reduce the amount of IPs messing around, making this proposal largely redundant.

#Although I have gradually leaned more towards the support side with my recent experiences with IPs, I still don't think it's the greatest idea as of right now, especially since 1. there are still helpful IPs and 2. Not all pages are being "targeted" by IPs. My frustration currently stems from the fact that there isn't a way to properly control an IP like a user, since the same person can use different IPs and thereby both get around a block or miss out talk page messages, and if there's a way to control that I would support that.
