Forum:Smasher article ideas

I think there's a bit of a problem with smasher articles on this wiki. People make articles, don't follow wiki conventions, and leave a mess for others to clean up. And a lot of the time, the smasher in question is not even notable.

So, would it be possible for there to be a premade layout or "fill in the boxes" or something that could be added when creating articles to prevent this from happening all the time? It would be nice, but I'm not sure if it can be done. John This is for my signature, which I was told needed to be edited. PK SMAAAASH!! 17:31, 8 January 2016 (EST)

Darn, I was hoping this would be easier to explain. You see that banner every time you work on a page that has the options of bolding, italics, and all the rest? It would be nice if a section was added to that to instantly add the format for smasher articles. Or, when making an article, if you clicked a button designating it as a "smasher article", it added all of the standard conventions onto the page immediately, leaving you to fill in the blanks. These would probably prevent people from just making articles and then leaving a mess. Am I more clear? John This is for my signature, which I was told needed to be edited.

I'm going to bring this up again. I'm not sure if this can be implemented, but it would be a great help. John This is for my signature, which I was told needed to be edited. PK SMAAAASH!! 12:00, 1 February 2016 (EST)
