:If you look at [[Special:Webtools]], you'll see a list of the most common keywords that are searched for on our wiki. Not one of them is a smasher article. '''Very few''' readers visit our wiki for that type of material. [[Special:Top/most_visited]] will tell you the same thing. Overall, our community should be attempting to create articles that will actually interest the readers. Wikia should be a professional, collaborative effort. It should not be for pages that will only interest a very limited number of readers.

The 3 custom namespace limit is just so people don't request several, pointless namespaces. Uncyclopedia somehow got away with having 5. I'm all for having the smasher articles in there own namespace. -- | The 3 custom namespace limit is just so people don't request several, pointless namespaces.

:Uncyclopedia is on a separate domain and has separate user accounts. Physically, it is about as affiliated with us as Wikipedia is. It is one of Wikia's sista projects, but the rules there seem to be slightly different...

::i cant think of any more off the top of my head, but only because i havent looked, but the best example of a Wikia wiki having more then 3 is [[w:c:yugioh:Special:Export/Special:Export|yugioh]] --[[User:Uberfuzzy|Uberfuzzy]] 23:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC) | ::i cant think of any more off the top of my head, but only because i havent looked, but the best example of a Wikia wiki having more then 3 is [[w:c:yugioh:Special:Export/Special:Export|yugioh]] --[[User:Uberfuzzy|Uberfuzzy]] 23:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC) | ||

I think they should go. I used to prefer the old SSB Wikia simply because it '''didn't''' have articles on random people, and I'm sure there are others who agree. You guys have to remember, this was a MERGE. Not moving Smashwiki here. Besides, it creates to many problems. When you search pages on events, moves and such, occasionaly they have to have (move) behind 'em so the "smashers" get there glory. Look at [[Wario Bros.]]! And that page is linked by the events template! {{User:Max2/Sig}} I hope I've made my point to everybody. | I think they should go.

:I've completely replaced that article with a redirect to the event match. That type of ambiguity is completely unacceptable.

Any idea when we're getting the namespace created? Btw, we only need '''Smasher:'''. '''Smasher talk:''' isn't needed I wouldn't think. --[[User:Charitwo|Charitwo]] 22:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
