You got it fair and square man, congratulations! MuteSpittah (talk) 04:41, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Thanks. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 10:22, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Guess who's late again... Anyway, congrats dood! You earned it! Drill Blaster Mark 2 (talk) 12:12, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Thanks guys. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 13:52, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Congratulations! -- Ethan(Discussion) 21:06, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Nice work! Good luck with your adminship! (is that even a word lol) John PK SMAAAASH!! 21:07, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

As one of my biggest influences on this site, congrats! Ganonmew, The Evil Clone 20:47, 27 March 2016 (EDT)

Felicitaciones! DracoRex the Dino King (RAWR!) 23:07, 27 March 2016 (EDT)

Thanks (Wow I'm still getting congrats messages? XD). :D Disaster Flare (talk) 23:09, 27 March 2016 (EDT)

I'd not be surprised. You are almost everyone's friend, and a lot of people were rooting for your promotion. Here are some examples. There are more in the archive 5. -- BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 15:48, 28 March 2016 (EDT)

So I was super inactive for a week on a relaxing cruise with my family, so this is late, but congrats! I knew you could be one! Penro 10:40, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

I was wondering where you were. Thanks. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 11:15, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

Why can't the Confusion & Afterburner thing be in both pages?

title Unowninator (talk) 12:19, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

It's more relevant to Heel Slide's page than it is to Confusion. Yeah Confusion starts it, but it's Heel Slide that bonks out. Disaster Flare (talk) 12:21, 26 March 2016 (EDT)

Oye

Check your email. :P Aidan, the Irish Dragon Warrior 17:12, 27 March 2016 (EDT)

Okay I replied, sorry. Been busy watching anime. XD Disaster Flare (talk) 17:35, 27 March 2016 (EDT)

Hello.

Greetings, previously I was uncapable of adding any sort of information about a player at all, what with not being an autoconfirmed user at the time. Kind of paradocixal, since you're naturally required to provide proof of notability for a player article to be legitimate, but how are you supposed to do that when you aren't authorised to create articles? Furthermore, there are already tons of players listed in various character pages without articles, what gives? Shieldbreakers (talk) 14:49, 29 March 2016 (EDT)

Firstly, new comments go on the bottom. Second, you seem to be misunderstanding exactly what we want. We don't mean creating an article for the smasher as proof of notability, we mean we want a link of some notable results, like good placings in notable tournaments (for example, 3rd in a regional or something like that). You can put said link in the edit summary when you are editing an article. Additionally, articles don't HAVE to exist to be on notable players lists, that just means we have to create the articles. As long as there is sufficient proof, a smasher can go on a notable players list, regardless of if they have an article or not. Hope this helps. Disaster Flare (talk) 15:12, 29 March 2016 (EDT)

Ah, I see. Thank you for clearing things up. I'll make sure to read the guidelines more carefully before editing and creating articles in the future. Shieldbreakers (talk) 15:39, 29 March 2016 (EDT)

No problem, if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 15:47, 29 March 2016 (EDT)

You should probably

check your email. :P Aidan, the Wandering Dragon Warrior 20:33, 30 March 2016 (EDT)

Well

If I put your userbox on my page, will you put mine on? Swagman, the Green Swordsman 18:36, 31 March 2016 (EDT)

April Fools

In the news section, can you change the link from Smash 5 to my Super Smash Bros. for NX, because no one can edit that link, but I already started mine and want to see how far it can grow! Trainiax: Waluigi in Smash? Discuss it! 13:20, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Sorry

I'm sorry about your hard undoing today.:( Fortunately I have been on the lookout. Swagman, the Green Swordsman 13:27, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

IRC?

This. Just to talk. -- BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 16:32, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Sure. I need to get away from this chaos anyway... o_o Disaster Flare (talk) 16:33, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

If it's over, why's this still here?

"Please remember to adhere to SW:FOOLS. Thanks! "

Unowninator (talk) 18:55, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Because I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do with that... XD (Note to self: Ask Serpent for advice on how to deal with the site notice) Disaster Flare (talk) 18:56, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

I see. Well it could cause some confusion, which is why I asked. BTW, what time zone are you in? Unowninator (talk) 19:00, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Central time. I'll go ahead and see if I can remove the SW:FOOLS thing. Disaster Flare (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Smash @ Xanadu

Hey, I just noticed that the content on the page doesn't match up with everything I originally typed in. I drafted everything in Notepad and then copied it into the editing page, and I think some stuff got messed up/left out when I did that. There was supposed to be a table for Melee Doubles, as well as one for PM Singles. There are also some screwed up dates in the Melee Singles table, and there are some results missing, including the most recent one with n0ne. I'll get these fixed first thing tomorrow. CpnFlacon (talk) 21:46, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

kk, keep up the good work, it's about time we did get some info there so it's great what you've got so far. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 21:47, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Okay I could actually use your help. For some reason, when I go to the text box for editing the page as a whole, all of the text looks fine, and the script looks like it should work. But when I look at the preview for said script, it has merged the top half of the SSBM Singles table with the entirety of the Project M Singles table, and it has deleted the SSBM Doubles table entirely. Could you help me determine what's causing this? Thanks. CpnFlacon (talk) 13:16, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

Hmm...just looked at the problem, and I honestly can't make heads or tails of this myself. The tables are showing up in the edit box, but not when outside of it. I know someone who might be able to determine the problem though, so next time he gets on, I'll check with him to see if he knows what's going on. Disaster Flare (talk) 19:39, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

He just found the problem and fixed it. They're showing up properly now. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 20:17, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

Awesome! Thanks! Is there a reason why there is still a tag saying not all the tournament results have been recorded? CpnFlacon (talk) 12:15, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

Most likely because there are still some missing. Granted, I don't keep up with S@X so I really wouldn't know how much is missing. I recommend asking PokemonMasterJamal3 about it, as he was the one who added the tag in the first place. Disaster Flare (talk) 12:45, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

About calling you The D...

I did it on purpose because I saw on your userpage that it annoys you, just because I'm a trolling person in general. Just pointing that out to you. XD Penro 22:01, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

I'm aware. I'm used to it so... XD Disaster Flare (talk) 22:02, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

Ah ok. If it bothers you, I'll stop. Penro 22:03, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

Nah it doesn't bother me. :P Disaster Flare (talk) 22:04, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

Alrightly, The D. Penro 22:06, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

Dude.

Check my userpage. Penro 11:07, 5 April 2016 (EDT)

congrats

Congrats for becoming an admin... I wish to become one... but unfortunately I make, well, not many edits. I at least make sure they are big Swagman, the Green Swordsman 11:34, 7 April 2016 (EDT)

Thanks. :D Adminship isn't as easy as it seems, just keep that in mind. Disaster Flare (talk) 11:35, 7 April 2016 (EDT)

Man, I'd do anything to be an admin :(. I admire admins, mostly Serpent King Swagman, the Green Swordsman 11:39, 7 April 2016 (EDT)

Didn't even knew that you made a second RfA, but anyway good job on that. Omega Tyrant 14:46, 9 April 2016 (EDT)

Thanks Omega. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 14:59, 9 April 2016 (EDT)

Need to talk

On Web chat. Smashedpotatoes (Talk) 13:43, 9 April 2016 (EDT)

My bad

I definitely thought that was a "general page" and not a disambiguation in my morning stupor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thehard (talk • contribs) 21:47, 10 April 2016 (EST)

It's okay. Also while we're on the subject, I'd like to ask that you from now on give a reason you're adding cleanup tags (you can easily do that by putting in {{cleanup|<insert reason here>}}), because there have been quite a few you tagged in the past that didn't need to be cleaned up in any way. Disaster Flare (talk) 17:52, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

Difference between s and iw?

Can't find it anywhere in the help pages... MuteSpittah (talk) 19:34, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

s is for regular links, iw is for pages with parentheses in them. For example, doing something like {{s|Name (Name)}} will give you Name (Name). Iw will hide the parentheses from the page, but still link to the right place. Disaster Flare (talk) 19:35, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

Ok. So both are for interwiki linking? MuteSpittah (talk) 19:38, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

Yep, except we only use iw for interwiki articles that include parentheses in their names, basically to make articles look more professional. We use the s template for articles that have no parentheses in them whatsoever. Disaster Flare (talk) 19:39, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

Cool. Thanks for the explanation. MuteSpittah (talk) 19:41, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

No problem. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 19:42, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

Update Lists

{{UpdateList}} is completely updated with the update list pages, and has been implemented on those pages. Only thing left is to cross-match the template with the character pages. Serpent King 15:10, 16 April 2016 (EDT)

When everything ends and you've moved all changes to the update templates, I could finish the job by filling in the info that is missing. -- BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 15:56, 16 April 2016 (EDT)

Pew Pew Animals

Hi again Disaster Flare! I saw your undo; are you going to put my edit back up once it gets voted on? CpnFlacon (talk) 15:42, 19 April 2016 (EDT)

Once more people vote and the general consensus is still "yes", then yes, it will be put back up. However, some more things will still have to be removed from it if it happens, as when I was looking through it, I found a few Falco screenshots on Fox's, and there might've been some Fox screenshots on Falco's. Disaster Flare (talk) 15:47, 19 April 2016 (EDT)

Awesome man, thanks! And yeah I think I might have missed a couple of screenshots from the galleries when I was personalizing each page. I know I missed a picture next to the Throws section of Falco's down throw on the Blaster (Fox) page. I was going to go back and replace that with one of Fox's down throw once I found a suitable and good-quality screenshot. But thanks for letting me know! When is the voting going to happen? CpnFlacon (talk) 11:10, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

That's a good question. You'd think more people would care to vote on something relatively significant like splitting a move article. You can vote here. John PK SMAAAASH!! 11:16, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

I just realized...

My block was necessary, and I hope the wiki is going well these days. P.S. I'm not trying to get past my block right now, I only wanted to contact you...174.55.241.143 13:16, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

Uh what's this then

I saw this edit summary and then this one and am kinda confused at your assertion. Of course it's not a buff that Mewtwo now has a Final Smash, because it's being given a universal mechanic in order to catch up with things that changed in an abscence. But how is competitive play remotely relevant to whether something is a buff/nerf or not? If a Final Smash could KO at 0% in Brawl but only 50% in SSB4, is that not a nerf regardless of how you play the game? Where do you draw the line? The Golden Hammer got a massive nerf in duration, but because it's not used in competitive play it's not a nerf? Toomai Glittershine The Jiggy 17:25, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

My main concern were the additions of Roy and Mewtwo's Final Smashes. The introductions of two new moves couldn't be seen as a buff in my eyes when said moves can't even be used. It might've been a case of bad wording, which if so, I apologize (I think this might be the case since Ethan kinda misunderstood it). Basically what I was trying to say was that since they're completely new additions, yet can't be used in competitive play, it's not exactly a buff. I dunno, maybe it doesn't make as much sense as I think it does, I'm curious to hear what you think. Disaster Flare (talk) 17:30, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

Okay let me rephrase (as I'm confirmed to not have the ability to read apparently. >_>). Since SmashWiki revolves around competitive play when it comes to changes to characters, I typically use that as the reason whenever I revert that kind of edit. Disaster Flare (talk) 17:35, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

The wiki revolves around competitive play, but a buff's a buff. Whether or not a buff/nerf is used in competitive play doesn't really change that. MegaTron1 20:43, 25 April 2016 (EDT)

Peach Final Smash Buffs and Nerfs

Hello, my edit about Peach's Final Smash got undone, and I figured that it should have been taken to the talk page. Is this the usual way to settle things here? ANИa (talk) 22:56, 26 April 2016 (EDT)

Typically yes, but we're already waiting on Toomai's response, since he knows best about situations like this. If somebody hasn't already, I recommend going to his talk page and asking him. Disaster Flare (talk) 22:58, 26 April 2016 (EDT)

"This Toomai fellow, is he the boss around here? And if he is, what gives him more of a say on the matter than others?" ANИa (talk) 23:04, 26 April 2016 (EDT)

Toomai is the bureaucrat of the wiki, so technically in a way, yes, he is the big boss, but that does not mean he gets the final say just because he's the boss. We're waiting on him because from what I've heard, he's dealt with something similar to this and he knows what exactly should be done. I'm still a relatively new admin, so I'm still learning the ropes compared to someone like him, who's been here since the beginning. :P Disaster Flare (talk) 23:06, 26 April 2016 (EDT)

Just because he knows doesn't mean that the issue can't be changed right now.

Also, how do you indent your posts on the final draft? ANИa (talk) 23:14, 26 April 2016 (EDT)

You can indent comments by putting in a colon at the beginning of your comment. Dots (talk) The Smasher 23:25, 26 April 2016 (EDT)

Er, what exactly am I replying to here? I posted my opinion to this section on my talk page already: changes to Final Smashes can indeed be buffs or nerfs, but a character being given a FS (when they have never before been in a game that had them) isn't. Toomai Glittershine The Wacko 23:33, 26 April 2016 (EDT)

Request For Information

Hello again, Disaster Flare! I was looking through the Wiki recently, and I noticed there were a LOT of articles regarding characters, moves, etc. that are missing technical data. I would love to help out and add this missing data, and I have MORE than enough free time in which to collect data and add it, but I have no idea where to find the information. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks. CpnFlacon (talk) 10:16, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

I'd love to help, but that's unfortunately not my area of expertise. IIRC, a couple of people that would know where to find that information would be BeepYou, Toomai, I believe Nyargleblargle, and Drill Blaster Mark 2. Hope this helps. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 11:41, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

If you know how to read game data and would be willing to help, I recommend you check out these pages to add in the missing moves. The more you add, the better. -- BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 13:17, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

Okay, so I've gotten the descriptions written for a bunch of moves, but I have tried entering the data for some of the moves into Hitbox Tables, but for whatever reason, no matter how I format the data in the code, the table always turns out wrong. I put in the angle, and no matter what number I put, it says Sakurai Angle. I put in the part IDs, and it says #? in red text. There are other categories that end up messed up too. I've tried copying the data from other pages that got it right, and I can't figure out what's wrong. Can you please give me some help? CpnFlacon (talk) 08:52, 9 May 2016 (EDT)

If you leave your code in my User:Serpent King/Sandbox (under the content section), I'll take a look ASAP. Serpent King 10:26, 9 May 2016 (EDT)

Splatoon icon

Um does it really matter. The special smash stage icon looks really ugly plus who really cares if its that icon —Preceding unsigned comment added by CreeperJ123 (talk • contribs) 18:55, 27 April 2016‎ (EDT)

Please sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~), and yes it does matter. It's an unnofficial series symbol created only for interwiki purposes, and is not present anywhere in the Smash games, therefore the special stages symbol stays. Disaster Flare (talk) 14:58, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

Hey... Listen

Template talk:Pages to improve Last section Poultry(talk) the God-Slayer 18:50, 27 April 2016 (EDT)

Wait a minute...

It may be late, but shouldn't you have blocked this person for infinite, since it's a vandal sock? Penro (Talk) 22:20, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

Since it was multiple IPs Creeper had and the IP I caught was only used on one day (which was about two weeks ago), it's not absolutely certain that they're tied with the vandal, hence why I didn't infinite block them. Disaster Flare (talk) 22:22, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

Ah ok. Also, on an unrelated note, like my new sig? Penro (Talk) 22:24, 29 April 2016 (EDT)

Smasher: Hax

For the last bullet in the trivia section, he was pretty clearly not being serious when he was talking about "three crucial mistakes in his life" during that interview. I don't think you follow him much if you think he hasn't embraced the Hax F Money persona. The better trivia bullet would say that he attributes the birth of his Fox to Mango and PPMD at EVO 2013. But just watch the interview again, they're clearly joking around whenever that is mentioned. T5mopopop (talk) 10:20, 9 May 2016 (EDT)
