== The ban of [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Special:Contributions/74.75.9.45 74.75.9.45] ==
This IP is not only a serial vandal, but is also responsible for a total of 6 sockpuppet accounts (those [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Special:Log/block blocked] on 26/03/22), 2 of which themselves have a significant number of vandal edits on them, and the rest presumably would have been used for the same purpose had they not almost instantly been blocked by Porple. 1 week for all of this really doesn't seem like enough.

Someone just pinged the admins that there was an IP vandal without any added context and they were treated as any random IP vandal with no immediately apparent history on their IP. I don't need three people chiding "the block length is too short!" like I wouldn't have blocked longer if I was aware of the IP's history, your comment BV especially added nothing here. Just link the shit they're connected to that an admin may not be aware of, especially off-wiki shit no one here will reasonably be expected to keep track of, it's hard enough as is to keep tabs of which IPs are connected to other troublesome IPs and accounts on just this wiki. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 00:46, March 29, 2022 (EDT)

::I did not see the admin noticeboard and I rarely check it as I'm rarely browsing the wiki at this time, like I said before in the Discord you guys should just ping the admins there when something urgent comes up, that guarantees a fast response when an admin will nearly always be around there.

:::As the one who pinged, I should clear it up. I had no idea that the user was a recurring problem. I just saw Recent Changes being filled with a vandal and pinged because no one was online to take care of it.

::::I don't think admins should rely on pings alone. They're usually less descriptive and, like in this case, may leave out important information. Discord messages, by the very nature of Discord itself, tend to be short and lacking in detail. Furthermore, the admin noticeboard collects all of these reports together, making it easier for admins to see all the reported details about a vandal in one place, while on Discord these reports will be sporadic, and may need to be tracked down in order to paint a full picture of what a particular vandal is doing.
::::If admins aren't checking the admin noticeboard, something should probably be done to encourage them to do so, especially since not all wiki users are even on the Discord, such as myself and Canvas.

:::::You can very much supply farther info in Discord messages, and people have done so plenty of times before, you are not forced to make Discord messages "short and lacking in detail". Additionally by its nature, Discord is always going to be much more immediate in response; people generally keep it open when they have online access and the ping will immediately notify them that something is up, while you won't see any new post in admin noticeboard until you actually check it or happen to notice an edit there by checking recent changes. Discord obsoletes the admin noticeboard for notifying about urgent matters, it's going to always lead to faster response time even if all the admins were frequently refreshing the recent changes, and it's not unreasonable for admins to not be spending their time keeping an eye on the admin noticeboard for vandals when anything important enough typically gets brought up to them in Discord (especially if they're just too busy to spend their time browsing the wiki, and when the wiki is ultimately all volunteer work).
:::::"''especially since not all wiki users are even on the Discord, such as myself and Canvas.''"
:::::This is irrelevant, most of the active users are active on Discord to notify admins, including BV and Sam among the people here complaining about this, far more than enough to notify admins when something is up, and I know you use Discord to message the admins to get around your ban on the SmashWiki server, so you can't tell me you don't use Discord.  <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 14:39, March 29, 2022 (EDT)
::::::Optimistically, Discord messages could in theory be used in such a way, but my point is that they generally aren't. Social media platforms can never truly make the wiki's built in features obsolete, because everyone who uses the wiki has access to these features, while it is unreasonable to expect everyone who is capable of spotting vandalism on the wiki to use external social media platforms instead. And as I mentioned, the noticeboard collates all the reports made about a vandal together, which Discord does not, making it more useful for determining what the punishment for a vandal should be. The Discord server can be used in complement with the noticeboard, but should not be treated as a replacement for it, and admins should be willing to check the noticeboard (in my opinion it should notify all admins in the same way talk page notifications work, but that's not likely to happen, so the page should at least be on every admin's watchlist).

::::::<small>(edit conflict)</small>This might be a little off-topic but is a genuine question, wouldn't a page as important as the admin noticeboard be on every admin's watchlist by default or have a notice like talk page posts do? It wasn't bad at the beginning, but it was still enough to report though it was seemingly ignored. If they got even a short ban at the start, then it would've become clear that they are sockpuppeting and they ban would escalate from there.

:::::::As far as I know, having a notice (like talk pages) for a not-user-talk-page page is impossible.

:::::::''"Discord messages could in theory be used in such a way, but my point is that they generally aren't''"
:::::::They can be and they are, there is no "they generally aren't".
:::::::"''Social media platforms can never truly make the wiki's built in features obsolete''"
:::::::Technology advances, old tech becomes obsolete, it's not the 2000s anymore where the only means of communication off the wiki was email and cumbersome IRC that only a dozen or less wiki users actually used. Even then, say all six of the current admins here check the noticeboard every two hours with no sleep or time away doing anything else, an already clearly unreasonable amount of time to expect admins to devote to the noticeboard; that's at least 12 hours every day that a vandal report will not be noticed and the vandal will be able to run amok, whereas if you just ping the admins in Discord as soon as you notice a vandal, an admin can see that vandal in minutes as long as at least one admin is around. That is obsolesce for the purpose of reporting vandals.
:::::::"''while it is unreasonable to expect everyone who is capable of spotting vandalism on the wiki to use external social media platforms instead''"
:::::::Most people here already use it, and it is not unreasonable to just ping the admins for something when you need an immediate response, when it already has been explained how it is going to be always much faster than hoping someone refreshes the noticeboard. And those that don't should really get a Discord account even if they don't want to socialize, when communication about any wiki matters is always going to be much faster through it. Most wiki matters are already discussed there that don't require more thorough discussion.
:::::::"''And as I mentioned, the noticeboard collates all the reports made about a vandal together, which Discord does not''"
:::::::Already went through how Discord does not inherently prevent this, but you also know if you just report a vandal in Discord as soon as you see them and so they can be blocked immediately, they won't be able to build up any rapport.
:::::::"''making it more useful for determining what the punishment for a vandal should be''"
:::::::Another thing is I do not see why you and others are treating the block length of an IP vandal as such a big deal. Worst case scenario, they immediately vandalize upon their block wearing off... and then they're just reverted and blocked again for longer, with nothing worse for wear. In over the decade I've had adminship here, I never seen anyone before raise a complaint that an IP's block length was ''too short''.
:::::::"''in my opinion it should notify all admins in the same way talk page notifications work, but that's not likely to happen''"
:::::::Even if this was done, that requires an admin to open up the wiki, so that still doesn't get the immediate response that Discord allows.
:::::::"''so the page should at least be on every admin's watchlist''"
:::::::I already do, and the other admins probably do too, it doesn't matter, just pinging the admins is still going to notify much faster than them just happening to check watched pages before a vandal vandalises more.
:::::::"''I'm going to ignore your implication that I am somehow circumventing bans because there are 2 admins who are actually willing to talk to me in Discord DMs.''"
:::::::There is no implication, it is simply pointing out that you can't claim you're unable to use Discord because of the ban, when you're still capable of messaging the admins. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:51, March 29, 2022 (EDT)
<small>Indent reset</small> I won't argue that Discord is definitely the more convenient and foolproof way to quickly alert an admin to a rampant vandal ruining everyone's day, but that doesn't change the fact that the Wiki does have a reasonably convenient built-in Noticeboard that it promotes as, verbatim, "a page to quickly alert the administrators to issues that need their attention." For reporting clear vandals, [[SW:VANDAL]] does mention a sysop's talk page, and I'll go ahead and update it to include Discord, but if the Noticeboard is simply superseded in its role, we should either reverse that supersession somehow, or formally acknowledge that fact in Wiki policy - because as far as I know (correct me if I'm super blind), up to this point the Wiki has not formally and intuitively promoted social media as a way to report urgent need for admin action.

:So it seems I may have misinterpreted something Omega Tyrant said. When he said "I know you use Discord to message the admins to get around your ban on the SmashWiki server", I read that as him saying me DMing admins on Discord is circumventing my ban. It appears that's not actually what that meant, so I retract my statement from before.

:It's just common sense, if something needs an immediate response and you have access to something that lets you directly notify someone whose help you need, you should go and utilize it instead of just waiting around for one to log onto the wiki and check a specific page. Notifying via Discord can be mentioned in those pages, but people should not have needed a policy page to spell out and "promote" to them that Discord will get them faster responses, and indeed they haven't; most of the time I am effectively notified by someone pinging the admins on Discord about vandals or another urgent matter, while for whatever reason no one pinged about this specific IP until Cookies did, who was not aware either of their prior history (looking through old messages on Discord I seen NPM post about the IP, but without any context and without any ping, so it got missed).
:Also:
:"''"a page to quickly alert the administrators to issues that need their attention."''"
:This was written years ago, before the SmashWiki Discord server existed, and even then "quickly alert" was never a good word to use here, as there is no inherent "quickness" to waiting until someone checks the page; even back in the IRC days people would often directly notify admins of vandals through it because an instant messenger is always inherently faster.
:"''we should either reverse that supersession somehow''"
:There's nothing that will "reverse" its obsolesce, nor should that be desired when you can't get any faster response time than what an instant messenger offers. We have more and better tools at our disposal than before to effectively maintain the wiki, and they should not be neglected in favor of sticking to just what the MediaWiki software can offer. There's nothing wrong with posting on the noticeboard as a means of keeping record, but realistically any urgent report should not be without direct notification on Discord, you just can't beat its response time with pure wiki patrolling without having a NEET admin with no life that's content to refresh recent changes 24/7. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 17:59, March 29, 2022 (EDT)

::::(edit conflict) That's of course understandable. Wiki editing is a hobby, not a job, so obviously we can't expect admins to always be around However sometimes reports go unresolved for days or even weeks. Given that there's pretty much always some point during the day where at least one admin comes onto the wiki to check on things, that still means admins seemingly aren't checking the noticeboard, even when they do have the time to log onto the wiki.

:::::The point is that Discord now exists, all the admins are on there alongside most users, and that relying solely on the noticeboard is a blatantly outdated system that will never get remotely as quick of responses no matter how much it's checked. If something is urgent, '''just ping the damn admins on Discord''', it is not the 2000s anymore, we do not need to just rely on cumbersome MediaWiki tech to maintain the wiki. If someone has the time to make a post on the noticeboard, they're more than capable of typing "@Administrator Hey there's this vandal and they did XYZ <insert link>" in the Discord server (or directly to an admin via DM) and getting a more immediate response.
:::::"''Given that there's pretty much always some point during the day where at least one admin comes onto the wiki to check on things''"
:::::Just because an admin shows up as online does not mean they're actually browsing the wiki, or if they do something else does not mean they're going to browse the wiki afterward, especially when urgent matters have been getting brought up on the Discord reliably before this one time (often times when you see me do something it's ''because'' someone pinged the admins about something on wiki that required them). I really do not get all this argumentation against just using something better, and it just seems you're being argumentative for the sake of it or a stick in the mud insisting on only using the noticeboard because "that's the way wikis have done it!". And ultimately, something as minor as an IP vandal being given a block that was inadvertently a bit lenient should not have resulted in this big talk page commotion that has 25 posts from 8 different users, it should have been simply left at one post saying "hey this block length of this IP is a bit short, are you aware of XYZ context?" instead of three users jumping in to complain about the block length before I could even respond, while the mention of Discord as an obviously better tool for notification should not be met with such argumentation.

== Question ==
A few months ago, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Lucas&diff=1721890&oldid=1712943 I changed the most recent appearances] of Lucas, Ness, and Dark Pit to Mario Maker 1 (and somebody else did the same to Palutena, as I was unaware that her 2nd most recent non-smash appearance was before Mario Maker 1), as I felt it was the cause of a [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Lucas&diff=1712619&oldid=1712617 frankly gross trivia point] that Lucas only has one non-smash appearance or when he's clearly visible in Mario Maker 1.
A week ago, [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Ness&diff=prev&oldid=1743772 I found it reverted as "discussed to death"]. I see discussion on [[Talk:Ness]] and [[User_talk:Miles_of_SmashWiki/Archive16#Most_Recent_Appearances|an old user talk page]], but nowhere else, and most of the dislike towards counting Mario Maker seems to be started by one user [[User:Toomai/Miles-OT survey results|I read about]] [[SmashWiki:Requests for bureaucratship/Miles of SmashWiki|you two having beef]] with each other as Mario Maker 1 was coming out, which is why I want to ask you for your opinion on this situation.
From what I understand, Miles convinced some people (a lot of the discourse from the Ness talk page came from somebody who initially and correctly thought it should be counted as a cameo earlier on Miles' talk) that Mario Maker 1 should be completely ignored as a non-smash appearance due to it technically being a costume, and most of the current dislike towards this idea still comes primarily from Miles. That argument makes sense, especially with Mii costumes where the Mii leaks through the character they're cosplaying. However, what I also see on both pages is that the sprites resemble the characters fully, and that Sonic is in a similar situation with him first cameoing as an air freshener in a separate game, and I have to agree with both of these points.
I also gave the examples of sprites on a character's shirt in my edit summaries, but something I just found out was that a couple sprites directly taken from Mario Maker costumes (meaning the exact same appearances) do make non-costume cameos on walls in some kingdoms, which you can collect for coins. This doesn't affect Mario of Peach since they're in the game anyways, but MarioWiki does count this as a cameo for Rosalina, who otherwise isn't in the game (this wasn't added here, but it doesn't really matter since this is long past and her next appearance was in a month anyways). Link also reappears in Mario Maker 2 with the same sprite, and [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Link&diff=prev&oldid=1330428 people correctly counted that], but not Mario Maker 1 for other characters, despite, as I mentioned, being the exact same sprite.
With all that being said, given your history with who seems to be the primary reason why this arbitrary exception for not even being a simple cameo exists and affects 4 whole pages, what is your opinion on this situation. This weird arbitrary exception for not counting as a cameo, because this seriously frustrates me. [[Special:Contributions/157.242.208.253|157.242.208.253]] 21:29, December 6, 2022 (EST)
:The fact I never got along with Miles is irrelevant, I'm not going to be goaded into wiki arguments just to stick it to him or whatever. I would rather not count minor cameos as appearances for those entries at all, and in this case, I  am in agreement with the costume argument. Either way I don't care enough about this to argue it, take it up with the people actually disputing you instead of trying to drag me into it.

== RE: Smash 64 screenshot borders ==
The borders in some of the Smash 64 screenshots exist in the game's video signal and are preserved when taking a direct screenshot through an emulator without graphics mods. While removing after the fact would be trivial, it does run into one of the "other concepts" on [[SW:IMAGE]] of not modifying screenshots. If the removal of blank space is going to be treated as an exception, then it should be mentioned on the policy.
Somewhat related but not specific to this, putting a maintenance tag without putting a reason in the tag is not helpful unless it is blatantly obvious what needs fixing. While you did give your reasoning in the edit summary, no one should need to look at that to know what is needed. Too often have I had to go back and track down 3-5 year old summaries when it could've been in plain sight. If I or someone else came along years later and saw a bare tag, we may reach the same conclusion as Aidan and remove it. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 14:32, March 17, 2023 (EDT)
:I would say removing blank space from an image hardly runs against the Image policy, when the spirit of the policy is "don't put screenshots of your mods and photoshops in our articles", while we have also accepted people removing blank borders from screenshots before. If people will be a stickler for what exactly is written down, then it can simply be written into the policy that it is ok to remove blank space, there is no value in "preserving" blank space that just makes the image take up more screen space than it needs to and makes the image more difficult to discern. I would also say preserving native resolution isn't most ideal either, people shouldn't need to zoom all the way in on a Smash 64 screenshot to see what is even in the image on modern monitors, not when we have the tools to take screenshots at higher quality than the original hardware allowed. Plus I'll also point out that the image policy does not say images should only be in their native resolution, and indeed ton of images on the wiki were taken at a higher resolution than possible on the original hardware, especially Smash 64 images, while to reverse that now would be clearly counterproductive, when clarity of what we're trying to show should trump any blind purism.
:Also it's weird you're going to try to lecture me about that like I don't know how maintenance tags work when I been here for far longer than you and told off people several times for not writing down proper reasons in their maintenance tags, while several of my edits have also been fixing maintenance tags that didn't have a proper reasoning in them prior. I didn't write down a reasoning in these specific tags here because it is evident why those images are low quality (blank borders have never been desirable in screenshots). Trying to tell an admin off for such a trivial thing I'm well aware of comes off as you trying to one-up me or something. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 15:53, March 17, 2023 (EDT)
::I'm not trying to one-up you or anything of the sort. I saw something that I thought would make the job easier for a future editor and wanted to bring it up, from one editor to another.
::For the tags, I'd argue it isn't evident why they are low quality. There's no blurriness, no compression or JPEG artifacts, no watermarks, and the color seems fine.

:::I don't particularly have much to add to this discussion, but I can at least say that I would have gotten zero indication that the reason you marked the image as low quality was because of the borders without you clarifying such, especially given that the point of that screenshot is to show the "SUDDEN DEATH" text, which is in clear view even as is.

::::An image just being able to "clearly" (big quotation marks given how shite the resolution of that screenshot is) show the sudden death text for a sudden death article wouldn't make it a desirable image (e.g. we wouldn't accept a screenshot cropped to only have the sudden death text visible), we still want the screenshots to actually look good, part of which should clearly mean not having borders of black space around an image. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 20:00, March 17, 2023 (EDT)
I don't particularly mind having the borders cropped so long as it's written in policy somewhere. With the SSB64 images, the border is part of {{iw|wikipedia|overscan}} and shouldn't be visible on a CRT display anyway, so it wouldn't be a huge loss.
By the way, should borderless images be enforced, I wanted to ask what should be done with these sets of images in particular, as they're what come to mind at the moment:
*I'm assuming that all the images in [[:Category:Subspace Emissary cutscenes]] would be cropped. Still, with all the [[:File:Wolf_Subspace.png|edit warring]] about this exact issue, I just wanted to be sure.
*Would all the images in [[:Category:Congratulations screens (SSBM)]] be cropped? They were originally uploaded as low quality JPEG screenshots, and were replaced by manually converting the original, quasi-JPEG files found in the ''Melee'' disk. However, they all have black borders as part of the image data. As to not upload 75+ JPEG-artifacted PNGs to replace them, they were uploaded as is. Consequently, editing them is not feasible without worsening the quality further. Should they be edited? And if so, how should they be reuploaded?
*What should be done about the images in [[:Category:Congratulations screens (SSB4-3DS)]]? I'm assuming the images contain the golden borders themselves like the ''Melee'' screens. Regardless, unlike the other two categories, these all have an image border rather than a plain black one. Would they be treated any differently from images with plain borders? [[File:NokiiSig.png|link=User_talk:Nokii]] '''[[User:Nokii|<span style="color:#89F">Nokii</span>]] ·''' 02:14, March 18, 2023 (EDT)
:*Ah Brandondorf, hard to tell in that case if the people weren't just reverting him because it was Brandondorf (who was infamous at the time for fucking with screenshots on the wiki by editing them far more than just removing borders, such as messing with their saturation or blowing up their size as a substitute for "higher resolution"), while I'm also sensing PSIWolf was being overprotective of "his" image (while his friends then joined in to "defend" it from Brandondorf). The people reverting Brandondorf are claiming the borders a part of the scene, but taking a look on youtube, I'm seeing videos of the cutscenes without any borders, so I don't know if it was just those users' emulator settings rather than the picture of Brawl's video files actually inherently having the borders. In any case though, I would prefer new, higher resolution screenshots taken that don't have the borders to begin with if possible (the linked Wolf cutscene example isn't even 480p), rather than just cropping the old screenshots.
:*Converting a JPG to a PNG shouldn't worsen the quality as long as the right settings are used, like I just took one of those images and [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/623510042808680473/1086544473758105701/BowserAdventureMode.png converted it to a PNG], while there was then absolutely no discernible degradation in quality post-conversion compared to the original JPG. For one more thing, I took a look at the source for one of the original screenshots that didn't have the black borders, and it was from [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0222/omake.html the official site itself], that seems to be an admittance that the borders weren't any sort of "developer's intent" or anything like that. So in this case, I would again say to preferably not have the borders in these images.
:*I would say this is a definite different case, as such borders were deliberately put there by the devs as part of the presentation rather than just being blank space to fill an aspect ratio that may or may not be visible depending on how the game is actually viewed, and when [https://youtu.be/xvPg9PzDHrg?t=721 looking at it ingame], you can clearly see how the gold border is a part of the image by how it moves up with the screenshot as the credits go on. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 03:25, March 18, 2023 (EDT)
::Pretty much in the same boat as Nokii. Do want to add some things regarding the other things.
::*Viewing the movies in Dolphin shows the borders. Taking screens via Dolphin will give 832x476px pictures and the image in the borders is roughly 770x414px (roughly because the edge isn't perfectly sharp because of the next sentence). Viewing and screening the files in VLC shows no borders and gives 576x416px (18:13, almost 4:3) which are then stretched to widescreen in-game. The name cards are also added in after the fact. The video files are THP files (the "quasi-JPGs" Nokii mentioned) and are essentially comprised of a series of JPG files, meaning they will always have some artifacting. I can get behind getting new images for these, but the details need to be worked out.
::*The black borders for the Melee files also have a tiny amount bleeding into them from the main portion. I personally see these as sprite rips and thus shouldn't be altered. JPGs ''can'' be cropped losslessly without causing extra artifacting, but you need special software and it can only be done in increments of 8 pixels due to how JPGs encode data (borders here are 16 pixels if you ignore the bleed over, so that works out). In the past I've used {{iw|wikipedia|libjpeg}} (command line) and {{iw|wikipedia|IrfanView}} (requires plugin for JPG cropping).

::::[https://play.nintendo.com/ Play Nintendo], on SMW we're still not done covering the Mario content, but Smash content is rather sparse, so it could easily be covered on a single page. [[User:Axii|Axii]] ([[User talk:Axii|talk]]) 11:11, July 26, 2023 (EDT)
:::::If Smash content is sparse, I'm questioning if it should have an article here at all.

== Team attack on changes shield/blastline/villager balloon color ==
Idk how i randomly came to that conclusion but I recently uploaded two Smash 3DS replays online to showcase this, one named “team attack off” and the other named “team attack on”. If you have trouble finding them, setting character and stage to {{SSB4|Villager}} on [[Dream Land]] should lead you to them

== Question ==
Hey, I would like you to answer my question: I have basically had my account for 8 days now (which goes over the minimum of 7 days to be autoconfirmed) and I have also made 10 edits (my first edit was on Thursday 26th October, which was 2 days ago). However, I'm still not autoconfirmed despite meeting the criteria. Can you please tell me why? Thank you.
[[User:ThePacifisticWarrior|ThePacifisticWarrior]] ([[User talk:ThePacifisticWarrior|talk]]) 03:23, October 28, 2023 (EDT)
:The time requirement for autoconfirmation is based off of when the first edit is made, not when the account was created. As such, since you made your first edit only two days ago, you are not autoconfirmed yet, and will need to wait another 5 days. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 06:04, October 28, 2023 (EDT)
::Okay, thank you. Since today is Saturday, I will be autoconfirmed on Thursday 2nd November. [[User:ThePacifisticWarrior|ThePacifisticWarrior]] ([[User talk:ThePacifisticWarrior|talk]]) 08:29, October 28, 2023 (EDT)

==Young Link==
Excuse me, but why does [[Young Link]]'s page say he appears in ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Ultimate''? I'm having trouble editing out the ''Brawl'' part. [[User:Skuchi037|Skuchi037]] ([[User talk:Skuchi037|talk]]) 00:08, February 14, 2024 (EST)
:He appears as stickers in ''Brawl'', as explained in the Brawl section on that page. Those header icons are not strictly for playable appearances, any appearance by the article subject in the game will count. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 00:13, February 14, 2024 (EST)
== Bad Trivia? ==
On August 3, 2023, you removed some trivia from Richter's page on the grounds that it was "bad trivia".  Why did you think it was bad trivia? [[Special:Contributions/24.181.44.22|24.181.44.22]] 15:11, March 31, 2024 (EDT)
