Gallery page?

With the way the character gallery is being cluttered with Pics of the Day, I think there should a gallery page either for all of SSB4 or for each character article. That is, if we're not going to cut them after SSB4's eventual release. Magiciandude (talk) 16:20, 24 September 2013 (EDT)

If you mean having separate gallery pages, I don't see why this is necessary, as the galleries on the articles are fine. Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 16:27, 24 September 2013 (EDT)
At the least, maybe have a show/hide option to not clutter the page with images. Magiciandude (talk) 17:13, 24 September 2013 (EDT)

Character professionals categories

Should the categories of character professionals be split into professionals of game-specific characters? Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 12:32, 30 September 2013 (EDT)

This was supposed to be done at some point and never ended up happening. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Pan-Galactic 13:30, 30 September 2013 (EDT)
Was there a discussion about it? Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 13:44, 30 September 2013 (EDT)
Here I think. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Brass 13:46, 30 September 2013 (EDT)

I will support this proposal. Awesome Cardinal 2000 16:55, 30 September 2013 (EDT)

Bump. I support as well for splitting the character professionals categories to make this specific. Dots MewtwoMS.png The Achiever 16:46, 3 October 2013 (EDT)

Professionals

Should there be professionals categories for PM characters? Scr7Scr7 sig.png(talk · contribs) 04:23, 30 November 2013 (EST)

Maybe at some point, but I don't know about how you'd define that right now. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Chilled 09:13, 30 November 2013 (EST)
With PM having a tournament scene as active as Melee and Brawl's, plus every character in the game having a sizable amount of players (due to every character aimed at being tournament viable), I don't see why they shouldn't be created shortly.

Saying PM has as big of a scene as Melee and Brawl is an exaggeration, when it's still very much a side event and does not have its own tournies. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 09:33, 30 November 2013 (EST)

Assist Trophy Template

I was thinking about adding "Console of Origin" and "Most Recent Appearance" to the {{AssistTrophy}} template. These are 2 pieces of info that are commonplace to have on character pages, and having it on the Assist Trophy pages would be nice. What do you think? ChuckNorris24.png 14:01, 6 January 2014 (EST)

Bump. ChuckNorris24.png 09:29, 7 January 2014 (EST)
Bump again. ChuckNorris24.png 10:21, 8 January 2014 (EST)

History of the competitive Smash scene

I noticed that while the wiki has information on the history of individual characters and tier lists, it doesn't have any article on the competitive scene as a whole. In an effort to increase the wiki's coverage of the competitive scene, I propose creating an article called "History of the competitive Smash scene" that covers in detail the major events and phenomena of Smash's competitive scene from Smash 64's release up to today. We already have an article called History of the Midwest Smash Scene (that hasn't been updated in over seven years). Some ideas I have include: covering things such as the nature of tournaments, major tournaments hosted (such as MLG, Apex or Revival of Melee, metagame changes, dominant players at the time, big events (such as the creation of Smashboards, release of the SSBPD and the MLG bracket splitting incident, and more "broader" types of events, such as Melee''s decline after Brawl was released, the advancement of technology used at tournaments, or Project M's rapid increase in popularity. There could be more types of things there as well. However, it would be difficult to organize this properly, determine what gets included, and find information to include (especially before Brawl), and the page would likely be extremely large. The article could be divided by game, or into "time periods" (such as The "First Golden Age of Melee", etc.). Please give me your suggestions below. Awesome Cardinal 2000 22:11, 15 January 2014 (EST)
