I think we should change the name to "First Start" or something like that, and rewrite the subheadings section.

+1 for page name - Ceci n’est pas un Smiddle. 17:42, 7 June 2013 (EDT)

I think we should change the name to "First Start" or something like that, and rename the subheadings section. Awesome Cardinal 2000 21:20, 7 June 2013 (EDT)

I can deal with having to rename the page, but I would still like the acronym to be meaningful. I see no problem with the subsection names. Toomai Glittershine ??? The SMASH-GINEER 18:54, 10 June 2013 (EDT)

Support: Bagels. I also have to add to what Tommai said. The simplified ruleset was copied from Wikipedia and doesn't well-reflect SmashWiki. Also, I don't think it gives very good advice. If I were to give advice to a newbie about what or how to edit, this is where I'd point, not the simplified ruleset, as this says exactly what I would say. Another point: I didn't even know the simplified ruleset was here until you mentioned it. We can publicize this better via use of the Welcome Template, the site notice, and/or the main page, and make it more helpful than the simplified ruleset that no one really cares about.
