Animations

 * moved from previous section

One more thing, is it legal for users to upload animations? Lucasthefourth  PK Thunder!!  09:53, 7 March 2011 (EST)
 * Depends on what kind of animation. Things like .gifs of moves for use in articles are obviously okay. Animations that are personal images (i.e. have no place in mainspace articles) don't really have a rule for or against. Animations for signature purposes are not allowed as they can be distracting when trying to read comments.

 * Well at least something that is appropriate for Smashwiki. ..... (talk) 09:29, 11 March 2011 (EST)

SmashWikia
Try making yourself appear active on it for the next week or so. Slipknot Darkrai from the Donkey Kong Wikis appeared there bothering an inactive bureaucrat for admin powers after his failure to gain adminship on the Donkey Kong Wikis. While I don't believe he is actually any threat to gaining adminship there, he has the tendency to get staff involved, who could then try promoting someone else if they don't see an "active bureaucrat". Omega  Tyrant   19:14, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Problem is I'm technically not a bureaucrat there. Maybe lead him to the page where admins were asked for before; since there's already been failures due to lack of time there I think the Wikia guy might just shut him up right away. Toomai Glittershine [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Frivolous 21:10, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
 * I thought that guy gave you bureaucrat after we suggested it to him? As for Darkrai, I blocked him for removing content from pages, so he's ineligible anyway. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 21:36, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

boss
are you like the big boss around here-- kyle.b  talk   10:54, 22 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Eh, yes and no. In the sense that I have more buttons than other users, then yes. In the sense that I'm the most important person here, that can go either way depending who you talk to. In the sense that I can sit here and order people around, then not really. Try reading this.

User-ness
Hey Toom, it's Piratehunter. I was wondering if you could perhaps work on "taking out" that sock account that impersonated me a while back; I'd like to actually set up a real account to start editing :P Didn't know if you had server access or not, heheh. Thanks! Piratehunter 12:31, 22 March 2011 (EDT)
 * I do have the ability to delete users, but only by merging them with another one, and I don't think there's much of a way around it even with server access. (We do have The Spam Account as a merge option but that's not exactly the right thing to do in my opinion, seeing as that sockpuppet was certainly not a spam account.) You can ask Porplemontage about it to be sure. If worst comes to worst I could always change the password on the sock account and then give it to you (if I don't have to go to Porplemontage for it), though you'd have to deal with the sock's contributions and talk page (which we would archive). Toomai Glittershine [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Metroid 13:52, 22 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Why not make a "The Failed Sockpuppet" account or something of that ilk and merge it to that? Miles ( talk)   14:36, 22 March 2011 (EDT)

Actually, PH, if you want to register a new account called "PH Impersonator" or something (so you have control of it), then I can merge the sock into it and your username should then be free. Toomai Glittershine The Bold 17:53, 25 March 2011 (EDT)

I have a question
What is the best way to contact Porple? Mega Tron1  XD   09:58, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Message him on the NIWA forums would be my guess, or maybe try his Mariowiki talk? Miles ( talk)   11:12, 27 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Even his talk page here wouldn't be too bad if it's not urgent; he does come by about two or three times a week. Toomai Glittershine [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Frivolous 11:41, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

Also, how do you merge spam accounts? Mega Tron1  XD   11:47, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

Why is it that some textures freeze the game in 1P mode when there are more than 2 characters on screen, but don't do so in Vs. mode? Omega  Tyrant   23:25, 31 March 2011 (EDT)

Another thing: I had porple install the ReplaceText extension with the goal of using it to whittle down some of the links to deleted pages that are clogging the WantedPages. Any chance you can use it to clean stuff up? Thanks! Miles ( talk)  18:09, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

About smash arena
Why are some of the suggestions removed? Mine was. Does this mean we users could make another suggestion? Mastergameandwatch (talk) 20:07, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

 * The "You have new messages" box is not allowed, as it doesn't add actual content to your userpage, and it can cause someone to think their talk page was edited at that time, wasting their time to see the new message they thought they had.

May rollback be used to undo edits like this?-- Wolf   rulez!   Playtime's over! 13:54, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

Hey Toomai, can you see if a thrown Mr.Saturn is a meteor smash on grounded opponents? I've noticed how it hits grounded opponents like a meteor smash too weak to produce knockback would, and in multi-man mode, it sends alloys on a pure vertical trajectory. Omega  Tyrant   16:35, 10 May 2011 (EDT)

A user on Wikia plagiarized the intro the Mario (SSBB), so I reverted that and blocked him/her. Does Wikia have anything against that? Mega Tron1  XD   00:49, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Another plagiarism on Wikia. There needs to be a rule about doing such a thing, so can you make one? I kinda lack the skills to even think about how to say it without getting right to the point with no explaination <_< Mega  Tron1  XD   18:13, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

I do have the ability to rename users. That said, make sure you're changing to a username you want to stick with, because it isn't something I plan to do more than rarely. Toomai Glittershine The Metroid 17:46, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

 * Sort of. Shadowcrest/Salad/Emmett didn't use Special:RenameUser; he created two accounts on this Wiki. Shadowcrest, the name he used at SmashWikia, and Emmett, the account he used here. Also, in now way is he the guy who created this wiki. This guy created the original SmashWiki, this guy created SmashWikia, and this guy created the NIWA Wiki we're on now.

Explosive
Since i don't know how to test for sure that an attack is and explosive and not a flame attack i'm just going to suggest a short list to you of attacks that could be explosive (most or all of which would've been tested by you before but oh well).

Ganondorfs up tilt, Samus' down and side special and any of CFalcon's moves?

as for final smashes: Giga bowsers Fsmash, Super Dragon ballZ!!! (pardon the pun), end hit of cook kirby, end hit of end of day, any of the landmasters big energy blast, last hit of great aether and snakes grenade launcher.-- Shaun's Wiji Dodo  talk   12:44, 30 May 2011 (EDT)
 * You bring up some good points, but at the end of the day none of them are correct: Samus's Missiles and Bombs are Weapon, Ganondorf's up tilt is Foot, Falcon's moveset is all Hand/Elbow/Foot/Knee, and almost all Final Smashes aren't given types. (The key here is that an attack cannot have two types, such as Weapon/Explosion, it can only be one or the other.)

 * SmashWikia's skin on Oasis is just atrocious, plain white is much better than that. Omega   Tyrant  [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 01:42, 11 June 2011 (EDT)
