New FA
--PSIWolf (T • C • E) 08:32, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
- Yeah, just what I was going to say. --107.5.57.137 07:30, 21 August 2011 (EDT)
We should have this updated every week, with the smash arena. Hey, Toomai!Pokémonultimate File:PTHeadSSBB.png 23:39, 16 November 2011 (EST)
- Um, no. We've already had many FA's and I'm pretty sure we're not going to have repeats. Besides, there is not enough articles to make featured every week. BlindColours

- I'm not opposed to having repeat features, featured articles can be improved significantly since they were featured. Ganondorf (SSBB) for example, got featured even though it is quite the mess. As such, if the article was cleaned up, with its readability significantly improved, I would support featuring it again at some point. I agree however, we don't have enough articles to have a new feature every week, without us either refeaturing articles that haven't been improved since being featured, and/or we'll be featuring articles that are too low of quality to be considered featured articles .

- If every week is too short, then how about every month?, we'd only go through 12 per year, it would provide plenty of time for previously featured articles to be redone, and it would be less unprofessional than having the same one for three months. Pokémonultimate File:PTHeadSSBB.png 23:53, 1 December 2011 (EST)
- As of now, I still think a month would be too frequent, as I don't think we have enough high quality articles to feature at such a rate without refeaturing/featuring non deserving articles. I would rather have an article that deserved to be featured up for two to three months, rather than featuring an article that is merely good (or worse). Omega Tyrant 01:09, 2 December 2011 (EST)

Possibly?

Images
Are there any images of the Control Stick tilted in specific directions, or of specific directions on the Control Pad highlighted? RickTommy (talk) 21:23, 27 September 2011 (EDT)
Affiliates
A thought occurred to me. For those who are unaware, The Runaway Guys is a group of three well-known LPers on YouTube (Chuggaaconroy, ProtonJon, & NintendoCapriSun). Chuggaaconroy has previously affiliated with Bulbapedia and Super Mario Wiki, both NIWA founders. The Runaway Guys' newest LP is the SSE. Should we consider trying to affiliate with them, if they're up for it? Miles (talk) 13:52, 3 October 2011 (EDT)
- Chuggaa rocks, and I guess the others do too. I say "let's try", though I don't really care if nothing happens, I guess.--

Barring any opposition, I'll send them a message tomorrow. Miles (talk) 17:32, 4 October 2011 (EDT)
Great. Hopefully this might help the search rankings. BlindColours FALCON... 18:06, 4 October 2011 (EDT)
- So...what happened? BlindColours ...PUNCH!!! 09:46, 9 October 2011 (EDT)
Now that I'm underway with the List of SSBB Music articles, should Music be added to the Navigation section on the homepage? Either now, or at least once the project is finished. After all, the trophy articles are part of the navigation, so music should be as well. ToastUltimatum 
Complaints Box 08:57, 17 October 2011 (EDT)
- I'll get around to making a category soon, as that'll probably be necessary. ToastUltimatum
Complaints Box 08:59, 17 October 2011 (EDT)
- I've made the category now,
[[Category:Music (SSBB)]]. So it should be fine to add this to the navigation now, right? ToastUltimatumComplaints Box 06:33, 18 October 2011 (EDT)
- I've made the category now,
Great work to all of you
This wiki now ranks first place in google search results. We can now all breath a sigh of relief, knowing that Smashwikia will never catch up to us. Mr. Anon

- I noticed that too. I have a good feeling that the YouTube channel was a major factor in this. BlindColours Thank you for reading my sig. 18:28, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

- It's different for all users, depending on past search history/page history/etc. There were a few tests on IRC that concluded that unbiased "fresh" browsers saw us first. Toomai Glittershine

SSB Games
I believe the Main page needs links to the three games in the Smash series. Clicking on "Games" redirects to the list of pages in the "Games" category wich is a bit confusing. I think it'd be best to simply use the games icons used in the ArticleIcons template to put in the middle of the page, but a bit bigger, just like every other NIWA wiki has.--Kombatgod (talk) 14:57, 18 January 2012 (EST)
- I don't really know what you're referring to with "like every other NIWA wiki has". In addition, we already have links to the three SSB games in the sidebar, so I don't see what the point of having links on the main page would be. Toomai Glittershine The Researcher 16:40, 18 January 2012 (EST)
- Oh, I didn't noticed the sidebar. Yeah, that works fine, but you know I'm new to the wiki, so I'm trying to give you a "visitor" point of view. What I was talking about are the little Link faces in Zelda Wiki or those diamonds in Metroid Wiki. You know something visual. Well actually I made a mistake, those are like the only two wikis to have that, but still I find it very useful, specially for a short series like SSB. (having all Mario titles in the main page would take the whole space!)--Kombatgod (talk) 17:01, 18 January 2012 (EST)
- Ah yes, the icon-based game bars. Yeah, Smash Bros. doesn't really have enough games at the moment to justify having one of those. I'd say the sweetspot for having an icon-based game bar would be in the 7-20 range. Toomai Glittershine Da Bomb 18:43, 18 January 2012 (EST)
Toomai has a point. There are already icons on pages (upper-left hand corner) for the three games, so it is not necessary. LightningBlue: Electric!

Tier list?
How do I make a tier list on my home page? Please tell. Meta Ike (talk) 09:58, 17 February 2012 (EST)
