Universal templates

If a template only has one item in it, don't you think that is a little too minor for it to be created?

It was my original position, but then MoSW went and made tl|DS universe and tl|Electroplankton universe, which included a reversion in the latter case of {{delete| Is this template really necessary if it only has one thing in it? }} with "yes it is". Ergo, I was following the admin's lead. - Reboot (talk) 05:30, 16 January 2011 (EST)

One admin's opinion =/= equal the view of the Wiki, especially if they can back up their view with only "yes it is". I'm going to delete the latter one now. Omega Tyrant 05:35, 16 January 2011 (EST)

My logic was that the universes recognized as such in-game (by having their own logo, mind you) merited having a universe template. This would include the DS and Electroplankton universes, which have their own in-game logos (can be verified by the DOJO pages as well). The Assist Trophy-only universes, however, fail to meet this criterion; this can also be checked at the DOJO. I would therefore recommend re-adding the DS and Electroplankton templates, minor though they may be. Miles (talk) 12:14, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Understandable, but I don't see the practicality, as each of the universe templates for them only include one item. Considering that these templates are made for navigation, what's the point when these templates will only be on two pages, the article that the item already links to, and the universe page where there will already be a link to the page that the item links to. Omega Tyrant 18:47, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Standardization of matching every other stage. Miles (talk) 19:01, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Still not practical to have a template that only links to the page you're already on. Omega Tyrant 08:22, 17 January 2011 (EST)

IMO the standardization of that is important. Miles (talk) 20:17, 17 January 2011 (EST)

Usually I would agree with this sentiment, but these templates only linking to the page you're going to be on are a major problem, lacking practical use and making them a waste in my eyes. Omega Tyrant 15:18, 18 January 2011 (EST)

(Old convo bumping) What then permits Template:Golden Sun universe|stuff like this? Miles (talk) 00:44, 8 March 2011 (EST)

I suppose I miss that, but yeah, until there's enough material to include more than one page on that template, we don't need it. Omega Tyrant 12:47, 9 March 2011 (EST)

...and what of 1 2 3 4? Miles (talk) 13:24, 9 March 2011 (EST)

Damn, I missed quite a bit, didn't I? I'm busy elsewhere right now, but I'll get to them later. Omega Tyrant 15:44, 9 March 2011 (EST)

Measuring Meteor Smash Base Knockback and Knockback Scaling

I understand base knockback and knockback scaling. I was trying to ask you how to measure these for another site for this fan-based game called "Super Smash Flash 2" by a creator named Cleod9. Do not worry; I will not post any information on this game on this site since the game has nothing to do with the real SSB games...not after last time. I also want to measure these for Melee if I may unless someone else is doing it. I apologize if I am wasting your time or if I am annoying you by asking this or if I am asking too many questions, but anyway, you said that resetting the match will show you the knockback of the meteor smashed opponent, but how? Is the number shown on the screen, or do you need special software or special programs to measure and to see these statistics? Also, how do you reset a match? Is it the same thing as quitting and starting a match again? Chimanruler15 (talk) 20:12, 17 January 2011 (EST)

Resetting a match is essentially no contesting a match. As mentioned before, in the after match statistics, there are two stats called "Max launcher speed" and "Max launching speed". The former shows the maximum knockback you dealt from a single attack while the latter shows the maximum knockback you received from a single attack. So if you hit someone with only one attack before no contesting, the numbers shown will be for that one attack. You do not need anything other than the game itself and a brain to do some math to get this post calculation data. To get pre-calculation data, you need to hack (which is what Toomai specialises in finding).

As mentioned before, Melee shown its knockback values on a different scale, so I don't think what works for Brawl will work there. Omega Tyrant 20:27, 17 January 2011 (EST)

Thanks for the information. Chimanruler15 (talk) 13:45, 18 January 2011 (EST)

You're welcome. Omega Tyrant 15:18, 18 January 2011 (EST)

Responding To A Post

Thanks for all of the information. How do you respond to a post on a user page without editing the section? I saw indented responses to posts, like your response to my meteor smash post, and I wanted to know how do that. Chimanruler15 (talk) 12:01, 18 January 2011 (EST)

Colons create indents at the beginnings of lines. See Help:Editing. Miles (talk) 12:44, 18 January 2011 (EST)

Thanks! Chimanruler15 (talk) 13:25, 18 January 2011 (EST)

Mass spam accounts

I think we should probably introduce an auto confirm group to ward off spammers, like Mario Wiki does. Only after a few days and some useful edits will get them autoconfirmed. Also, we should probably disable IPs and non-autoconfirmed uses ability to create new pages.

By the way, another batch of spam accounts appeared. T.testLPThe Communicator|The...WhateverGanondorf da bess! 07:55, 28 January 2011 (EST)

I don't think that is necessary. While the spam accounts are still being created, we have an extension installed that is keeping them from being able to continue their spam attack. While it is annoying seeing these spam accounts getting created still, they can't do anything. However, as Toomai and I discussed, we are considering installing an extension that allows us to merge and delete accounts, thus getting rid of the spam accounts.

I won't support removing the ability for IPs to create articles as I do not believe in punishing all for the actions of a few, and getting one good, legit article from this for every 25 crap/vandal/spam article is worth it imo. Omega Tyrant 08:10, 28 January 2011 (EST)

Well, it seems that extension is no longer working. However, I still do not want to remove the ability for IPs and new users to create articles, especially since these are the type of users who mostly create smasher articles, which this Wiki is heavily lacking in. Omega Tyrant 08:21, 28 January 2011 (EST)

Thanks

I just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge with me by taking the time to answer all my questions and helping me making my userpage. Sorry for the spam in your talk page btw :P.Lex out (talk) 22:27, 7 February 2011 (EST)

Help

Can you tell me how to do the Smasher thing you used on your userpage? I tried, and can't figure it out. (PS, I'm new, is there a help page anywhere?) --ToonLucario122 (talk) 22:01, 19 February 2011 (EST)

Help page here. As for Smasher thing, it isn't anywhere on there. Copy the template and replace everything after the ='s with stuff you want.MegaTron1XD 22:04, 19 February 2011 (EST)

never mind, did it my self!--kyle.b talk 13:12, 10 March 2011 (EST)

I was about to create it for you, but I see you saved me some work. Also, when someone responds on your talk page, respond there, not on the other person's talk page. That way, the conversation is kept in one place. Omega Tyrant 13:52, 10 March 2011 (EST)

Allright, will do--kyle.b talk 08:52, 11 March 2011 (EST)

stupid quistion

hate to sound stupid but what is rollback?--kyle.b talk 11:01, 17 March 2011 (EDT)

Rollback is an ability some users have to quickly undo vandal edits to a page. We're currently discussing a new process of distributing it. Toomai Glittershine The SMASH-GINEER 11:08, 17 March 2011 (EDT)

In more specific terms, it's a tool that allows one to revert all edits made by the most recent editor on an article with a single click. It uses are to speed up in the reverting of vandalism and spam. Omega Tyrant 11:12, 17 March 2011

who is it bieng distributed to?--kyle.b talk 12:06, 17 March 2011 (EDT) scratch that, i read the discusion, it sounds like a good idea, i mean, trolls usualy add useless stuff, so the only people who would request it are users that want to help smash wiki.--kyle.b talk 12:27, 17 March 2011 (EDT) (EDT)

It's distributed to whoever requests it that a bureaucrat deems capable with it. Omega Tyrant 12:53, 17 March 2011 (EDT)

allright thanks for the info.--kyle.b talk 08:21, 18 March 2011 (EDT)

new page

have you heard of super smash flash, its an on line game and i was wondering if i could create a page on it--kyle.b talk 13:38, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

No, you can not create page on it, as Super Smash Flash is fanon, which this Wiki does not allow. Omega Tyrant 13:44, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

ok, thanks any way--kyle.b talk 13:48, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

youre a very strict and irretable person arent you--kyle.b talk 14:09, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

Strict, it depends. When it comes to vandalism and spam, then yes, I am strict. If it comes to userpages and edits that don't help the Wiki but don't harm either, I'm rather lenient.

Being irritable, mostly no. But there are things that really irk me, like what Slipknot Darkrai is doing on the SmashWikia, overly oblivious users like Slipknot Ddarkrai that show no reverence for the community and only are editing to have "power", and users being unnecessarily blunt and unhelpful to new users. Omega Tyrant 14:45, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

from what i hear this slipnot darkrie has a bad rep whats with him?--kyle.b talk 11:02, 30 March 2011 (EDT)

You will have to check out DK wiki and have a look at all he did, like how he "Wants to rule all wiki's".--Shaun's Wiji Dodo talk 11:17, 30 March 2011 (EDT)

In brief, he's an oblivious, power hungry user who is ignorant to the community of any Wiki, while being blindly loyal to Wikia, who only wants power. Despite his high admin aspirations, he has proven to be completely incompetent with any admin powers. His power hungry selfish attitude, along with his several other behavioral problems, complete inability to cooperate, forsaken the users of the community in favor of Wikia, and tendency to attract and suck up to the Wikia staff, has led to him being despised by many users across many Wikis. In short, he's basically the worst kind of non vandal Wiki user you can get :/ Omega Tyrant 11:35, 30 March 2011 (EDT)

Are you available to Brawl now? My friend code is listed on my talk page. Please respond soon since I'm not going to be available for much longer. Mr. Anon (talk) 15:32, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

Sure, come on the IRC. Omega Tyrant 15:36, 2 April 2011 (EDT)

I've made one

Hey, I'm tried to make a new thing to write in Smashwiki, and I've do it. The problem, I don't know how to make a link that direct to the page, and I don't know if I've make it good enough to meet the quality of the Smashwiki. So, coul you tell me how to make a link that direct to the page I want or just give me a link to the page that tell me how, and I'll give the link to you so you can check it. Or... do you have better ideas? This is urgent, so please tell me, or that page gonna be an orphan. Thanks. Kirbythe Amazing 06:32, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

Eh... Shaun's Wiji Dojo just make the link by the way, he put it on my talk page if you want to see it and put some picture or expanding it. But, I think I still need the lesson about how to make the link, so tell me please. Thanks and sorry if I'm bugging you Kirbythe Amazing 06:48, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

To link to other pages in an article, use the [[ ]] tags, which would be [[Solid Snake]], which will look like Solid Snake. To have the link appear as something else, add a | after the article name, and follow it with what you want the link to appear as. Such as, if you want a link to Solid Snake appearing as just Snake, type the link as [[Solid Snake|Snake]], which will appear as Snake.

As for some more advice when creating articles;

1. Link whenever appropriate, however do not repeat links in the same article.

2. Add categories when creating the article. If you don't know which category to add, add the categories that seem to apply most, someone will correct it if the wrong categories are added.

3. Add the necessary templates if applicable.

4. Add an image relevant to the article with a thumbnail describing the image if applicable (though for the page you created, this obviously can't be done).

5. Don't add speculation to the article. If something "may be" or "possibly is", it is speculation and is best to leave out. Likewise, never create articles based on speculation.

Keep this mind the next time you try creating an article. Omega Tyrant 06:57, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

OK, I'll keep that in my mind. Thanks. Oh, and how can I upload images? It's just write something like [[Image:File]] (please remind me if I'm wrong) or stuff. So, what does we need to write if the name of the picture is Brawl, for example... Kirbythe Amazing 08:50, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

You can upload images. However, use any uploaded images as soon as possible, especially if it's a personal image. And yes, you use [[Image:Imagename]] to use an image. Omega Tyrant 09:12, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

um, I tried to upload an image and I did it. But, when I set it at my userpage, it's way toooooooo big from what I have in mind. So, can you tell me how to minimize picture (if it's possible) and how to write something inside it like in some page. Thanks. Kirbythe Amazing 07:26, 6 April 2011 (EDT)

Try doing this: [[Image:Image name.jpg|thumb|300px|right|whatever caption you want]]--Shaun's Wiji Dodo talk 07:39, 6 April 2011 (EDT)

[[Image:Imagename|250px]]

Replace the number with the one that you find to be the preferable size. For more image help, read here. Omega Tyrant 07:40, 6 April 2011 (EDT)

Hey, it's work properly! Thanks! It's just perfect! Now I feel I can help this Wiki more! Well, not that much, actually. But, thanks for sharing things new to me! ☺ Kirbythe Amazing 19:20, 6 April 2011 (EDT)

deal

so whats the deal so far with turning smash wikia into a fanon wiki, any advasments--kyle.b talk 12:37, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

Not sure yet, though DaNASCAT blocked me on the SmashWikia. Omega Tyrant 13:37, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

why would they block you--kyle.b talk 13:38, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

Because Wikia staff are annoying evil power-hungry selfish money loving <insert swear insult of choice here>. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 13:50, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

corrupt--kyle.b talk 13:55, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

He blocked me for "forcing users off Wikia", which he essentially banned me for letting users know of a decision the community made. Omega Tyrant 14:04, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

so there trying to keep the community there--kyle.b talk 14:14, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

The exact same thing happened to me on Wikisimpsons except they refused to let us inform anyone of our decision. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 14:17, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

this could be a problem--kyle.b talk 14:19, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

No worries, I have a way around the block. Also, when responding to comments, use : to indent your posts appropriately. It makes conversations easier to follow. Omega Tyrant 14:45, 5 April 2011 (EDT)

You might want to avoid visibly stating that you're going to evade your ban. also I fixed it for now. --Emmett

Note taken. Omega Tyrant 05:36, 6 April 2011 (EDT)
