[[:Category:Game Controls]]

should be moved to Category:Game controls per MoS, since "controls" is not a proper nown. Do you think you could get XL on that? Serpent King 02:27, 29 December 2016 (EST)

I've been having trouble getting XL to connect to the wiki and I don't yet know why. My best guess is a wiki upgrade is making things different than expected. I hope to fix it soon (two/three days), might have to reinstall PyWikiBot from scratch or something. Toomai Glittershine The Honcho 10:49, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Got it fixed; it's going now. Toomai Glittershine The Sphere 14:16, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Cool, thanks! Serpent King 17:54, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Hitbox Info

Hi, CpnFlacon again. No questions this time, but I just wanted you to know that over the next couple of weeks I'll be uploading all of the data into the moves pages. So if you or any of the admins are looking through the recent changes and see a bunch of new moves pages created by me, that's why. CpnFlacon (talk) 11:13, 12 January 2017 (EST)

Don't forget to keep the {{technical data}} tag if you've added hitboxes but not frame timings. Toomai Glittershine The Aurum 21:51, 12 January 2017 (EST)

Disaster Flare said to just put the {{competitive expertise}} tag on all of them, and that would encompass the need for a description and frame timings. Do you want me to put both? Also, I'm running into a few missing angle icons. If I remember correctly you're the one who makes those? CpnFlacon (talk) 13:50, 15 January 2017 (EST)

The way I see it, it's about what kind of knowledge you need to enter the info - frame data is more of a technical subject than descriptions and meta details. I would put both if both are missing.

I do upload necessary angle icons as I notice them. Toomai Glittershine The Keymaster 06:54, 16 January 2017 (EST)

MvSubNav Formatting

We have recently run into a question about how the pages linked in these templates should be formatted. The templates have separate links for the special move and the default version of the move. I was wondering if you felt the default page should redirect to the special page, or if the special page should act as an overview and the default/customs pages should be where the move-specific technical data goes. CpnFlacon (talk) 16:28, 19 January 2017 (EST)

Took me a while but I found the previous discussion about this. Toomai Glittershine Da Bess 06:53, 20 January 2017 (EST)

So the character's Special/Default should redirect to the main special page. Am I understanding that correctly? CpnFlacon (talk) 16:51, 21 January 2017 (EST)

If you're doing it as a redirect, then the [/X special] page should redirect to the [/X special/Default] page. Toomai Glittershine The Producer 08:42, 22 January 2017 (EST)

Understood. How should the neutral attacks be formatted/redirected, since many characters have multiple hits? Should [/Neutral attack] just redirect to [/Neutral attack/Hit 1]? CpnFlacon (talk) 14:55, 22 January 2017 (EST)

For any attack composed of multiple parts, like neutral combos, Link's f-smash, or Dancing Blade, make a page for each hit as well as a page for the attack overall. See Mario (SSBB)/Neutral attack. Toomai Glittershine Le Grand Fromage 06:50, 23 January 2017 (EST)

Maybe you can help me

Normally, I'd be logged in as this user, but for some reason it's saying that I can't log back in. Something about my connection to this site being "not secure"; this site is also giving me this message:

There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again.

It's working fine on my phone, but not on my computer. You got any suggestions for what I can do? 166.127.1.193 15:13, 30 January 2017 (EST)

I'm not really sure. I'm assuming you're already tried stuff like closing/reopening whatever browser you're using? Maybe try manually going to Special:UserLogout or Special:UserLogin. Toomai Glittershine The Altruistic 06:28, 31 January 2017 (EST)

Closing the window does nothing, closing Chrome completely does nothing; Special:UserLogin no longer gives me an error message, but it doesn't log me in. I still have a "not secure" notification from my URL area, despite the SmashWiki being marked as secure. 166.127.1.199 13:03, 31 January 2017 (EST)

Maybe try a different browser? Serpent King 13:23, 31 January 2017 (EST)

Well, it works for Internet Explorer, the only other web browser I have access to on my school computer. I even tried logging in on another computer through Chrome at my school just to make sure it wasn't just my school, and it worked there too. I'm not quite sure what the problem is. Aidan, the Lovely Dragon Warrior 18:14, 31 January 2017 (EST)

Oh this is a message from Chrome and not the wiki itself? Yeah, according to other NIWA members, Chrome has decided to stop supporting any login page that doesn't use HTTPS. Yell at Porplemontage until he fixes it. Toomai Glittershine The Ghostbuster 06:26, 1 February 2017 (EST)

(reset indent) Well, I would, if I couldn't log on through Chrome on other computers. My own Mac at home and other computers here at my school have logged me on just fine with Chrome. 166.127.1.192 09:04, 2 February 2017 (EST)

Rename Request

I want to change my current username to "Ik0zael" since I've done so on other websites to distinguish from my new and old username.

Ik0zael (talk) 20:58, 8 March 2017 (EST)

As per SW:RENAME, post here again in a few days. Toomai Glittershine The Hammer 06:25, 9 March 2017 (EST)

To "MHStarCraft". I go with this username nowadays. Dots (talk) The Wii 14:05, 12 March 2017 (EDT)

Yeah yeah see policy etc. Toomai Glittershine The Brazen 06:52, 13 March 2017 (EDT)

I'm sure I want to change my username to "Ik0zael". Ik0zael (talk) 22:05, 14 March 2017 (EDT)

It's been about a week so I would like to request the change now. Dots (talk) The Charlie Brown 14:11, 19 March 2017 (EDT)

Banned user name change

This user would like their username changed to BallingFather so they can be unblocked. Disaster Flare (talk) 02:22, 28 March 2017 (EDT)

So why are new pages forbidden on April Fools, but not new images?

On April Fools, I mean. Just out of curiosity. Unowninator (talk) 12:39, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

When you clean up, you won't be able to delete any joke pages unless you're an admin. MHStarCraft 12:43, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

Special:Log/upload gives us an easy way to track new images; there is no corresponding way to do so for new pages. So while it's really easy for an admin to clean up AFD images, doing so for new pages relies on the perps tagging them for deletion if we don't want to slog through a full day of RecentChanges. Toomai Glittershine The Spark 12:44, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

Huh, I could've sworn there was a way to show the new pages. Okay, well thanks for the answer. Unowninator (talk) 12:46, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

??? (That said, it would still be an understandable restriction insofar as it requires admins to clean up after non-admins, but either way is fine.) Miles (talk) 13:53, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

Huh that's irritating, to have a log that's not part of the logs.

That said I do think the amount of images being uploaded this year is way higher than previous years. Not sure what the deal is there. Might not be a bad idea to put a soft restriction on that too. Toomai Glittershine The Polychromatic 14:52, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

Maybe like 3 per person? Serpent King 15:03, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

Sorry guys, I guess I shouldn't have asked. ;_; Unowninator (talk) 15:04, 1 April 2017 (EDT)

Name change

When I think about it, BeepYou isn't the best name... sounds like a bit close to breaking SW:NAME... can you rename me to just Beep? That's how most people also know me recently. -- Beep (talk) 23:19, 4 April 2017 (EDT)

Yep do SW:RENAME wait a few days etc. Toomai Glittershine Da Bess 06:29, 5 April 2017 (EDT)

I'm back to confirm my name change. -- Beep (talk) 19:21, 8 April 2017 (EDT)

Rename request

I would like to change my username from "Heymrraja" to "ABAP".

The following text is just a reminder to myself regarding the username change process. If possible, I would like for the change to immediately take place. Thank you.

(After a short period of time (such as a few days), post again in the section stating that you wish to confirm the name change. The bureaucrat should then follow through with the rename process, which will automatically rename the user and move all userpages accordingly. The user is then expected to edit their userpages and signature to suit their new name. Requiring users to wait a short while before confirming the request is done to ensure that no name changes are done on a whim - they should be well thought-out as a serious commitment. If you forget to perform the confirmation process, perhaps you don't want the name change that much after all. Note that in the case of fixing an inappropriate username, the rename should go through immediately, without the extra confirmation process.)

Heymrraja (talk) 11:32, 12 April 2017 (EDT)ABAP

No immediate changes sorry; everyone goes through the re-confirm process. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 06:26, 13 April 2017 (EDT)

I'm back to reconfirm my name change. Thanks! Heymrraja (talk) 12:05, 16 April 2017 (EDT)ABAP

Smash Arena

Excuse me! We have winner already in round 240. Can you do me a favor and update the forum? Dragonfirebreath25 (talk) 19:12, 14 May 2017 (EDT)

Hm I intended to put a comment noting that this round was supposed to last 2 weeks, because the previous round lasted 3 and game vs. game rounds are always a little more major, but apparently it never went through. Besides starting a new round on Sunday will leave that new round noticably shorter than a week. Toomai Glittershine The Resolute 06:44, 15 May 2017 (EDT)

Name change

Can my name be changed to Mario Kart 8 Rules? I like it better now. User: Mario Kart 7 Rules I'm working on it! (talk) 14:40, 21 May 2017 (EDT)

As per SW:RENAME, post again to confirm in a few days. Toomai Glittershine The Steppin' 09:11, 22 May 2017 (EDT)

Changing my Username

Hi, is is possible to have my username changed to "Spiderfog"? I'm not happy with my current username and I also want to make my username the same across everything. ~Nintendocan (Talk · Contribs) 19:45, 25 May 2017 (EDT)

As per SW:RENAME, post here again in a few days to confirm. Toomai Glittershine The Resolute 06:25, 26 May 2017 (EDT)

Back to confirm. ~Nintendocan (Talk · Contribs) 17:31, 4 June 2017 (EDT)

Fanfics

I am a big fan of your fanfics. Will you do one for Mello, and Brawl, and Smash 4? 174.55.24.64 19:37, 1 June 2017 (EDT)

You know how the longer you go without doing something, the harder it is to begin again? That's the problem I have there. Toomai Glittershine The Inconceivable 06:31, 2 June 2017 (EDT)

Another username change!?

Hey, here's another username change request to the remaining active bureaucrat. DJBor to GameBor, please? I'm turning over a new leaf in competitive gaming, and this name change is where it begins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DJBor (talk • contribs) 18:53, June 7, 2017‎

As per SW:RENAME, post here again in a few days to confirm. Toomai Glittershine The Free 06:29, 8 June 2017 (EDT)

New Username

Hi, can I change my username to "Anna Maru"? I was told that Cyrillic characters were hard to type out for an English userbase. ANИa (talk) 16:35, 8 June 2017 (EDT)

I personally think a single "mirrored" letter is fine, since while it's true that people can't type your username exactly, using "ANNa" as a substitute should be easily understood by anyone. But if it still bugs you to be breaking the letter of the law, post here again in a few days as per SW:RENAME. Toomai Glittershine Da Bomb 06:32, 9 June 2017 (EDT)

If that's the case, I'd still like for the username to be changed to ANИA, if only for better symmetry. I was not aware that I couldn't have a non-capitalized first letter, and it's starting to bother me a bit now. ANИa (talk) 21:47, 16 June 2017 (EDT)

Interwiki table

When possible, could you please update Special:Interwiki to include ARMS Institute and update to ZeldaWiki's new host? Thanks. Miles (talk) 16:41, 22 June 2017 (EDT)

Indeed. Toomai Glittershine The Jiggy 17:50, 22 June 2017 (EDT)

Edit hiding

If you don't mind, could you hide the edits relating to this IP? They're rather unpleasant and I think we'd be better off not having them in the history. Miles (talk) 10:13, 9 July 2017 (EDT)

Yeah okay. Toomai Glittershine The Hammer 11:07, 9 July 2017 (EDT)

Wait can't we do that? I know crats can hide stuff from admins, but I can still view it. Serpent King 17:47, 9 July 2017 (EDT)

Nope, admins can only view deleted revisions; only bureaucrats can delete/undelete them. I don't really get it but it's a rare enough thing to have to do that it's not a problem. Toomai Glittershine The Quintonic 06:46, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

Damage multipliers question answer

No, there appears to be no relation between number of enemies in a stage and the multiplier. There doesn't even seem to be a relationship involving DLC fighters. I honestly have no idea how the multipliers were determined. Alex Parpotta the flying lobster! 10:57, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

I mean, do the multipliers start low in a fresh save file and increase as you unlock characters? Toomai Glittershine The Brazen 11:56, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

Oh, I don't know (and I don't particularly wan't to delete my data to find out) but I reckon it probably doesn't, since there is already compensation for this in the form of adding an extra heart container when all fighters are unlocked. Alex Parpotta the flying lobster! 12:19, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

Smash Forge and moveset subset pages

Smash Forge would be extremely useful for the moveset subset pages. I would create the gifs myself, but Smash Forge can't run on my pc for whatever reason. I'll tag all the pages, but could you possibly upload some of the gifs for some moves? Thanks! Penro 13:51, 22 July 2017 (EDT)

If I ever find the necessary files to load into SF then maybe. Toomai Glittershine The Altruistic 10:09, 23 July 2017 (EDT)

Ok. I'll try my best to finish the mass tagging soon, but I really don't have much time, coupled with no pc rn. Penro 20:57, 23 July 2017 (EDT)

Also, maybe contact Ruben for them? Penro 20:58, 23 July 2017 (EDT)

Unblock me now!

Unblock me! I've learned from my mistakes! TabuuandMasterCore 13:28, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

The Art-armsinstitute template is broken.

It redirects to a page called "Main Page", but that has since been deleted. I don't know how to fix it, can you? The new main page is here: https://armswiki.org/wiki/Home --Meester Tweester (talk) 19:27, 28 August 2017 (EDT)

I believe I've fixed the issue. The core problem was that {{InterwikiArticle}} assumed that every wiki's main page was at the title "Main Page" or that said page title would be a redirect to the main page's alternative name. I've just set it to instead point to the interwiki prefix without a target title, which thankfully MediaWiki is smart enough to default to the main page regardless of its title. (For example, [[mariowiki:|text]] turns into text and just links to the main page.) Miles (talk) 19:37, 28 August 2017 (EDT)

Smash Arena Topic Request by users

Hi! I believe your the one who runs Smash Arena! I have a quick question though. Would it be possible for users to suggest topics for future Smash Arena rounds? Thanks! Skittles03, the scummy fox main (talk) 12:56, 17 September 2017 (EDT) Skittles03, the scummy fox main (talk) 12:56, 17 September 2017 (EDT)

As it says on the page, there is a system for accepting new Smash Arena rounds, but it is currently closed because there's enough fights in the backlog to last for a bit. Toomai Glittershine The Spectrum 06:39, 18 September 2017 (EDT)

Landing lag interruptibility glitch?

A little over a week ago I created the page talk:Landing lag glitch, where I mentioned a theory I had about what causes "RCO lag" in SSB4. No one responded to it, but I was wondering what you thought about it since you're really good with the technical stuff. Any chance you could look into it? Alex Parpotta the flying lobster! 17:15, 5 November 2017 (EST)

Long time no see

Gonna go ahead and cover now that I am User:DatNuttyKid. Please block that account as I have locked myself out of it and this is the one I will be using henceforth. Thanks. TheNuttyOne (talk) 20:32, 10 March 2018 (EST)

Would you like me to instead merge the two accounts (and maybe rename it after)? I'll have to do a CheckUser to confirm you have a similar IP. Toomai Glittershine The Boss 20:35, 10 March 2018 (EST)

I didn't know that was an option but that would work too. I'll stick with TheNuttyOne as a username, though. 73.147.234.34 20:44, 10 March 2018 (EST)

Not sure how I got logged out. Sorry about that. TheNuttyOne (talk) 20:47, 10 March 2018 (EST)

It is done; all your contribs (and userpages, apparently) should have been moved over to the new account, and the old account is gone. Toomai Glittershine The Irrepressible 20:51, 10 March 2018 (EST)

General link shortcut templates

I was thinking about link shortcut templates like b and s. If I wanted to combine both I don't really have much of an option, so maybe we could generalize these? We could have something like {{L|Prefix|Article|Suffix}} -> [[Prefix:Article (suffix)|Article]] with the option to leave either Prefix or Suffix blank. There's probably a way to generalize this to include other templates like iw, h1 and h2 as well, in order to be able to combine the effects. What do you think? – Smiddle 05:49, 11 March 2018 (EDT)

On one hand that's not a bad idea, but on the other hand being specific can result in further shortcuts and better domain-specific usage. For example, it looks like you wanted to use something like {{s|Tournament|Smash Summit|tournament}} for the Summit tournament template, when you could have instead used {{trn|Smash Summit|series}} - much shorter and less repeated code, at the minor expense of having an extra template. (Also move how I moved the pages around to match the current standard, which also helps with shorter links.)

If you do find some other situation that the existing templates don't cover, then we can have a look. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 10:38, 11 March 2018 (EDT)

Smash Arena

Hey, I heard you were responsible for Smash Arena. Shouldn't we make a new contest, since the Shiek vs. Greninja one has been around since December 9th, over three months ago? St. Reggie, the Iron Leprachaun Warrior 00:02, 17 March 2018 (EDT)

How can I delete my userpage and my whole account?

Hi, Toomai. I was wondering how I can delete my talk page and my account permanently. If I can't, would it be possible if you deleted my account for me? Thank you in advance.
