Add code for a template

Hi! I would like to request adding a code to the InstructionalQuotes template. The code would make the source be from the Wii U manual. (If this isn't where I can put requests, my apologies.) SonDaniel (talk page) 17:25, April 19, 2020 (EDT)

Is there a Wii U manual? I don't recall. Disaster Flare

(talk) 00:15, April 20, 2020 (EDT)

Uhh, yes. There’s an instructional manual for the Wii U. SonDaniel

(talk page) 01:04, April 20, 2020 (EDT)

It’s in the game box. SonDaniel

(talk page) 01:05, April 20, 2020 (EDT)

I would not know, mine was a used copy when I got it. XD I'll add it in just a sec. Disaster Flare

(talk) 01:06, April 20, 2020 (EDT)

Thanks so much! SonDaniel

Template:Technical data

Hello, Disaster Flare. I am drafting overviews with Ultimate characters' specific moves. Are regular users supposed to ask permission to remove Template:Technical data by themselves or do users with certain rights remove the template by themselves? Derekblue1 (talk) 01:52, April 20, 2020 (EDT)

As long as the required information is provided, any user can remove the template. If you add in the necessary information and nothing is missing, feel free to remove the tag. Disaster Flare

(talk) 01:53, April 20, 2020 (EDT)

Alright, thank you for the answer. Have a great day, Disaster Flare!

New infobox template

Hello, I noticed sponsor articles does not have an infobox, so I decided to draft one: Template:Infobox Team. I was wondering if you would like to check my draft, and I'm happy if you decide to improve the template if necessary. Derekblue1 (talk) 23:42, April 21, 2020 (EDT)

Hmmm....looks fine to me, but I'd get a second opinion from another admin, personally. Disaster Flare

(talk) 02:20, April 22, 2020 (EDT)

Alright, I will go ahead. Thank you.

Question About Character Pages

I really wasn’t sure where to ask this, so apologies if this wasn’t the best place to ask something like this.

How would you feel about removing sections on character pages that say things like this?:

“Possibly as a result of being ranked #_ out of #_ in __, (insert character here) has been buffed/nerfed in the transition to __.”

As far as I’m aware, it’s never been outright proven that the devs buff/nerf every character solely because of how good or bad they were in the previous game.

Also, unless I’m mistaken, wouldn’t statements like that technically fall under speculation as well?

Again, sorry if this wasn’t the best place to ask this. Just decided I should maybe get an admin’s opinion on it first. Gizmo (talk) 19:21, April 22, 2020 (EDT)

Not Flare but I agree with you on this one. It does fall under speculation because not only has it never been confirmed that they use tier placements to decide who to buff or nerf (as you said), there is no evidence that they do either. If they actually did use tier lists as the basis, then characters who were low tier in SSB4 like Kirby and Bowser Jr would have been more signifficantly buffed, and high tiers like Ness and (especially) Pikachu would have been nerfed instead of buffed as they are now.

OmegαToαd64 • the Best Kαrter 19:32, April 22, 2020 (EDT)

I would agree that it seems to fall under speculation too, but that may be something that needs a proper vote on. Disaster Flare

(talk) 20:20, April 22, 2020 (EDT)

I guess maybe a proposal for it could work, although I don’t know how to make one. Gizmo (talk) 06:28, April 23, 2020 (EDT)

Tv tropes said so. 174.55.24.64 21:22, April 23, 2020 (EDT)

I don't believe random claims on a website if it doesn't provide any backup to that claim, especially when it's a site that anyone can edit. Disaster Flare

(talk) 21:23, April 23, 2020 (EDT)

What? SonDaniel

(talk page) 21:24, April 23, 2020 (EDT)

Testing over 100 random name generations in Melee didn't yield that even once, so I'm going to say it isn't one. Awesomelink234, the Super Cool Gamer (talk) 21:32, April 23, 2020 (EDT)

Creating throw pages for Brawl characters

Hello, Disaster Flare. On Mario's page, I discovered that all of his throws were deleted due to no effort being but making them. I was wondering if it's okay with you that I recreate those pages and add in all information regarding the throw. Super64 (talk) 15:57, April 24, 2020 (EDT)

Yes, that's fine, as long as relevant and worthwhile information is included before you save it. It was deleted last time because all that was there were blank sections. Disaster Flare

(talk) 15:59, April 24, 2020 (EDT)

Cool. Additionally, would it be okay with you if I updated the Brawl throw template along with adding grab hitboxes? Super64 (talk) 16:34, April 24, 2020 (EDT)

I'd check with Toomai on updating the Brawl templates, since I believe he's the one that usually tweaks it. Disaster Flare

Thank you, OmegaToad, I hope to continue working with you from here on! Disaster Flare

(talk) 23:59, April 24, 2020 (EDT)

CONGRATULATIONS!!

I just read the news - congratulations on succesfully becoming a bureaucrat for the wiki! It honestly felt like yesterday that you were promoted to an admin, and now you're more than one. Hope to see a lot of good stuff from you! --Beep (talk) 23:58, April 24, 2020 (EDT)

I know right? It's crazy. XD Disaster Flare

Friend code

I saw your friend code on your user page. Am I allowed to type your friend code to send a request???? S3AHAWK (talk) 00:07, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

Ye, perfectly okay. :P Disaster Flare

(talk) 02:19, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

Sent it, the name is S3AHAWK with an inkling picture. S3AHAWK (talk) 14:17, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

Wait, How do I copy an image so i can set up a signature?

I have been trying to set up a signature for hours and I need help for copying a picture to use for a signature? BTW, thanks for accepting my friend request. S3AHAWK (talk) 17:29, April 25, 2020 (EDT)

SW:SIG has all the deets you need to know about signature customization. Disaster Flare

Template:PGR

May I request this page for deletion? (Sorry about the hitbox pages, I deeply, deeply, apologize!) SonDaniel (talk page) 01:36, April 28, 2020 (EDT)

I'm holding off on that one until the GlobalPR debate is resolved, since PGR has a bit to do with that. Disaster Flare

How can I make a draft?

Hi, I am wondering who is allowed to make a draft? Is it anyone or just admins and your rank that I can't spell is allowed? Thanks! S3AHAWK (Talk) 01:39, April 28, 2020 (EDT)

Anyone can make a draft, just know that your drafts can be prone to plagiarism if you do publicly post one. It's not a huge risk by any means, but the risk is there. Disaster Flare

(talk) 01:41, April 28, 2020 (EDT)

Ok, I'll Ask OmegaToad for permission to add a Project + update history. S3AHAWK

(Talk) 01:42, April 28, 2020 (EDT)

Redirect page:Sonic the Hedgehog (universe)

May request this for deletion? Or can it be deleted at all? SonDaniel (talk page) 15:22, April 28, 2020 (EDT)

My Edits.

Hi Disaster Flare, I read your probation warning and I am curious about how I am doing. Do I still need to do work or no.S3AHAWK (Talk) 15:56, April 28, 2020 (EDT)

Right now your edit count for the mainspace and userspace is still kinda tied. To be a bit more clear, userspace editing is still okay in a probation warning, just be mindful about how often you're editing it. Disaster Flare

(talk) 03:02, May 3, 2020 (EDT)

I'M LATE, AGAIN. but thanks for the response. S3AHAWK

Username change

Can you please change my username on here to BrawlPersonified? Melee Weegie (talk) 00:36, May 3, 2020 (EDT)

Per SW:RENAME, please check back in a few days to confirm. Disaster Flare

This image --> [1]

Hi D. Flare (no offense), I was wondering if I could add this picture to the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller gallery. I asked you because you uploaded the image. Thanks S3AHAWK (talk) 01:02, May 6, 2020 (EDT)

You don't really need to ask for permission. If you think it should be added, add it (I do agree tho, it should be added). Disaster Flare

(talk) 01:03, May 6, 2020 (EDT)

Agree. (But hey, at least I responded on time). S3AHAWK

(talk) 01:07, May 6, 2020 (EDT)

finished S3AHAWK

(talk) 01:12, May 6, 2020 (EDT)

and I put it on EVO Japan 2020 page. S3AHAWK

(talk) 03:14, May 6, 2020 (EDT)

Excuse me

Hi! I’ve heard you deleted a page regarding another user. Maybe you want to talk to that guy for what it’s about? Maybe he kept for good reason (or maybe, I’m just thinking too much)? SonDaniel (talk page) 12:50, May 14, 2020 (EDT)

If you're referring to Alex the weeb's thing, he had put a deletion template on it. Disaster Flare

(talk) 16:53, May 14, 2020 (EDT)

Where are the hitboxes for Project M?

How come we don’t list hitboxes for PM? Does anybody still play it competitively? SonDaniel (talk page) 13:36, May 17, 2020 (EDT)

I wouldn't know the answer to why, but my guess is it's because we represent PM very minimally compared to other Smash games due to its fangame status. Disaster Flare

(talk) 13:38, May 17, 2020 (EDT)

I also think that some of the characters have the same hitboxes than in Brawl (Well obviously excecpt for Mewtwo and Roy). S3AHAWK

Question

Hi so for a while now I have been deciding on whether I should try to run for adminship, so I was wondering if you think I'm ready and it's a good time to go for it, or if it's best to wait a bit longer. Right now I believe I have managed to meet the qualification in a good canidate such as policy enforcement, which I have been doing for a long time, and one I wasn't confidant about before but now am, being conflict moderation. The only thing that I feel might potentially hinder my RFA is because we already have 4 active admins (which in my opinion though I don't think the number of admins should be a good reason to oppose, especially if the candidate is shown to be a good one).

I was planning to give it a go at the beginning of next month, so from your experience with me and if you have time to glance at my contributions, my question is if you think I should give it a go or hold off on it for a little while longer.

(I do understand that something like this should be discussed in the discord server but I'm unable to download it and I don't really have plans to join, so this is the only place I can ask.) OmegαToαd64 • the Best Kαrter 07:47, May 23, 2020 (EDT)

If you think you're ready, go for it. Disaster Flare

One question

I was reading the block log (for some reason) and I saw the block parameters and it said "email disabled" for some people. I am curious as if you cant contact the smash wiki email or your entire email is disabled. Thanks. S3AHAWK (talk) 00:07, May 24, 2020 (EDT)
