Do we have a specific preference between US-style standards of spelling (i.e. color, maneuver) and UK-style standards (i.e. colour, maneouvre)? Miles (talk) 19:01, 21 October 2010 (EDT)

I think we just do whatever, and you're not supposed to make an edit that only includes changing those things. Toomai Glittershine Data Node 19:05, 21 October 2010 (EDT)

I still strongly prefer ending all captions with periods. It looks frustratingly incomplete to me otherwise. Miles (talk) 14:02, 23 December 2010 (EST)


Additionally, can we standardize that the shortened forms of the games' names are:

  • In article titles: SSB, SSBM, SSBB
  • In article text: SSB, Melee, Brawl

This seems to the best way to do it, imo. Miles (talk) 16:23, 30 December 2010 (EST)

Is there any particular reason you feel the distinction is important? Toomai Glittershine ??? The Incomprehensible 21:09, 16 January 2011 (EST)
It looks better to me that way...? Also so there's a standard. Miles (talk) 21:21, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Links

Why is it that links such as [[grab|grabbing]] are considered "less efficient" than [[grab]]bing? Edits to change this are completely pointless and unnecessary. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 10:45, 25 May 2011 (EDT)
