Project M Character Pages (and one other thing)
I have a couple of questions. Damage not inclusive, if moves in Project M are identical to their Melee versions, can their names/descriptions be copy and pasted? Also, if there are aesthetic/cosmetic differences in the moves (for example, Roy's Blazer having a different animation based on a move from another character in a different game), should those go in the move descriptions or under a trivia section? While I don't have much experience in Project M yet, I have been watching and reading a fair amount on it, so I'd just like to know how I should go about adding info.
Also, this is completely unrelated, but should there be an article on Air Dash Online? If you haven't heard of it, it's some platform fighter being developed by a group of Smash Bros. players (Mew2King and Wobbles, for instance). MarioGalaxyTalk 07:58, 26 November 2013 (EST)
- I don't know about copy-paste, but it's better than just "same as other game, see there" or a blank. Aesthetic differences should probably go in the moveset; reserve trivia for things that can't really be attached to a single move.
- Air Dash Online is not a Smash Bros. game or a notable mod of one, so it doesn't deserve a mention outside maybe a sentence or two on the creators' smasher pages. Toomai Glittershine The Free 10:08, 26 November 2013 (EST)
Article Icons and userboxes
Is it OK if I use article icons, like this one and this one, for userboxes on my userpage? DarkFox01The Complex 19:49, 30 November 2013 (EST)
- No reason why not. Toomai Glittershine The Rainbow 22:02, 30 November 2013 (EST)
Question regarding merging accounts
Is it possible for a user to create an account and then have it merged into a different user's account without issue? Such as, an old pre-move user creates an account on this wiki under a name different from their old SmashWikia account, and they never registered the old account name. Would another user be able to register the old account name, and then have the account merged into the old user's new account, without the old user losing control of their account (or experiencing any other security issues)?

- Okay let me see if I get the example scenario:
- A was a notable user pre-move with an account named A1.
- Post-move, A makes an account called A2 and starts using that instead. A1 is unregistered.
- B makes an account called A1.
- B is told to make an account called B1. Does so.
- A1 is merged into A2.
- Depending on how strong merging is, B might not be able to log in to A1 without A2's password. In any case I don't see how he could log in to A1 at all if it's deleted as part of the merge. So based on what I know, I'd say "probably okay but test it yourself first". Toomai Glittershine The Prismatic 14:13, 1 December 2013 (EST)
