SmashWiki:Manual of Style
You may think your edits are funny, but your "humor" is not needed for mainspace articles. Please try to be professional with your edits. -- Her Majesty, Queen Junko, 15:59, 23 June 2017 (EDT)
- Indeed. Unless the situation calls for it (which is exceedingly rare), including humor on articles is highly unprofessional, and can even lead to a temporary block under vandalism grounds depending on how far it goes. With that in mind, please take the time to read our guidelines so you're fully acquainted with the way the wiki operates. Disaster Flare

About your template
While your intentions may be good, SmashWiki does not use "vandalism" templates or warnings; in more or less every case of vandalism, the vandal in question is not going to bother heeding our warnings, which renders the need for an entire template pretty moot.

- I thought I could follow suit of most MediaWikis! From MarioKirbyFan4 (talk) at 12:42, 5 July 2017 (EDT)
- While SmashWiki is similar to a number of other MediaWiki-based sites, including Wikipedia, our differing scope and scale compared to these sites may necessitate different procedures and/or protocols.
- In the future, if you have an idea for a policy and/or guideline on SmashWiki, it's probably best you draft it on your userpage and ask for input, or try making an official proposal on our forums.
