Official SSB4 Tier List
So, should we add characters tier placings in their articles for SSB4? This is an odd time to make one in my opinion. -- Ethan  ( Discussion ) 20:58, 1 February 2016 (EST)

Do or DI
Should we mention Do or DI in the news template and create a page for it? I think it's too small for news but it could have a page since it has some good smashers like and. -- Ethan  ( Discussion ) 19:54, 13 March 2016 (EDT)

Increase exposure over Smashpedia (supersmashbros.wikia.com)?
I have a feeling this has been brought up before, but is there anything we can do to increase our exposure over Smashpedia (supersmashbros.wikia.com)? By a mere glance over both wikis it's obvious that the articles here on SmashWiki are of much higher quality and depth, yet Smashpedia is way over SmashWiki in terms of Google search rankings, enough so that I frequently see tournament commentators and SmashBoards users refer to that site instead of this one when they look up something. It's a little disheartening to see a "low-quality" site get used instead a higher quality one, not to mention that all the article improvements we make over here go to waste if fewer people ever see them. It's also clear in a few places that they've simply copied over whole articles or sections from us in an attempt to improve their quality. I'd ask to merge the two wikis, but from previous experience Wikia.com is highly reluctant to do so in general (as all wikis on their URL/name contribute to their advertising revenue). This is the next best thing I could think of. Zowayix (talk) 12:18, 26 June 2016 (EDT)

Tournament news
I remember this being discussed, but I can't find where, so I tought I'd share my opinion here. I suggest the News on the main page should have a section for the tournaments separate from the actual news for the games. I'm not a big contributor to this Wiki, so take this as a reader's feedback: I think these news are pretty crappy. I find myself having to go to the Template:News page and checking its history to see if there is some news. I mean there's a section for NIWA news and one for SSB news, why not having three sections? I personally don't care at all about tournaments, and I think a lot of people don't either, but beside this, tournament info is objectivelly different than actual game news. They're info on people playing the games, instead of about the games themselves.

I know it may seem like a moot point now that there hasn't been any game news, but I'd much rather have it stuck at old news until a new game is announced, or something else happens, since even "there's no news" is valuable information. The last game news there has been is Miiverse closing down, and that stayed on the main page for 10 days, before being pushed away by more tournament news. When the next SSB game is released, that news piece will too be obscured immediately by more tournament news. It's ridicolous.

Just my two cents.--Kombatgod (talk) 16:34, 2 January 2018 (EST)
 * Sorry for late reply. I think this discussion was had somewhere before, but I am not sure. I am not entirely opposed to this and I'm interested in hearing what other's think.  Serpent SKSig.png  King  18:21, 26 January 2018 (EST)

 * Aaaaand just as I thought. The news about A NEW FREAKING GAME being announced, just got swept away by more tournament results. I don't get it. Why dont you want to let people know about actual news and instead only care about tournament results? (which if you think about the meaning of the terms, technically are NOT news).--Kombatgod (talk) 13:12, 22 April 2018 (EDT)

 * In what way are tournament results not news. Also now that I've seen what this looks like and have taken a few minutes to think about how this whole thing would run, I oppose on the grounds that we are essentially uprooting month old news and putting it at the top of the list. Smash news can be very quiet, and what we will have is a news section that will sit with the same 4 items for months at a time.  Serpent SKSig.png  King  13:58, 22 April 2018 (EDT)

Add the Newly Released Rankings to News
Once OrionRank 2017 and PMRank 2017 end, I think it'd be a good idea to link to all of them in the news section. It would include 64 League Rankings, 2017 SSBMRank, 2016-2017 SSBBRank, PMRank 2017, Panda Global Rankings v4, and OrionRank 2017. -Pokebub (talk) 02:36, 27 January 2018 (EST)

About the to do list
On the To Do list there is pre-release images, why is that on the to do list? George Jones 21:19, 16 July 2018 (EDT)
 * Because they're tagged under the Category:Pre-release images, meaning that in the future (precisely in the game's release) they should be checked to see if whatever they each depict hasn't been changed considerably since the final release.
 * If yes, add it to the appropriate categories, and make sure that it's stated to be a beta image; if not, simply remove the pre-release template. Hence, it's on the to-do list. — [[File:NokiiSig.png]] Nokii ε (''T·C·L) 23:04, 16 July 2018 (EDT)

Featured article hyperlink
I wonder if the title of the featured article "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" could be edited to become a hyperlink to the page itself. As it stands, the only way to go from the featured article widget to the actual article is to locate the (...more) button at the end of the excerpt, which doesn't seem very ideal.

Luigi's Mansion 3DS port link
The interwiki link to the MarioWiki page for the Luigi's Mansion 3DS port doesn't lead to an actual MarioWiki page. I'm guessing it should probably lead to (the 3DS port's section on their main Luigi's Mansion page) or just  (the page itself). Aykrivwassup (talk) 11:22, 28 August 2018 (EDT)

About the tournament-related news
I believe it would be nice if the upcoming Smash tournaments are listed somewhere in the main page. Perhaps alongside the latest results on a "tournament news" section or something, so it doesn't hinder non-tournament related news.

I suggest this because it's a bit frustrating that you keep being informed about the results after a tournament is finished, but never about the tournament being held in the first place. In my experience, this holds true for several Smash-focused sites and communities as well, where the results are guaranteed to make the front page so you don't miss them but, in contrast, you have to actively search for the upcoming events instead. --Gabo 2oo (talk) 01:10, 9 September 2018 (EDT)

Release Dates
I feel that, for the news on the Nintendo Direct, we should show that it revealed the release date for the Gamecube controller/adapter, which is November 2nd. X-Biaur19 (talk) 10:15, 24 September 2018 (EDT)X-Biaur 19

Will some stages become legal when they are hazard toggled?
Since Ultimate added this, should we say that banned only due to stage hazards-type stages can become legal due to the new Hazard Toggle? --81.218.171.51 12:37, 24 September 2018 (EDT)
 * SmashWiki is not the authority on deciding which stages are legal. Each tournament decides for itself what stages are banned, and SmashWiki attempts to document what the most prevalent designations are. – Emmett  12:41, 24 September 2018 (EDT)

Should it be allowed to make pages for useful spirits? (Like Lapras)
I Support this, but maybe making a special page for them that contains them all.
 * Please sign your comments with four tildes like this (72.133.91.93 12:42, 16 November 2018 (EST)). Also, I am of the opinion that we should hold off on this until the release in 20 days, 12 hours 21 minutes, and something seconds to see how this mechanic actually functions. That said, I don't think we need to delete Lapras' page because it's easier to expand it later than to have to recreate the page later. On a separate not, I think the Cappy page should be deleted, as he's just a spirit, and makes a minor cameo, sometimes during one move. By that logic, Galaxian should have its own page, as it appears in Pac-Man's taunt occasionally, and is a Spirit (I think, I may be mistaken). Also, this probably should have gone on Lapras' talk page, where a similar discussion is taking place. 72.133.91.93 12:42, 16 November 2018 (EST)Blueflame105

you have a good point, but as you said, Galaxian only appears in Pac-Man's taunt sometimes. Assuming you are referring to his up taunt, or 'Namco Roulette" as I've heard it called, Cappy would deserve his own page as he appears every time Mario uses side taunt, and sometimes during up-B.

Renaming Pac-Man
I see that everywhere on the wiki, Pac-Man is named 'Pac-Man'. However, in the latest instance, which is Ultimate, Pac-Man is actually named 'PAC-MAN'. I would like to make this change to all pages, so I came here to discuss it with you. - Hugman 05:41, 17 November 2018 (EST)
 * So, I see your point but U have a question. Why didn’t you put this on the Pac-Man page itself? Also, the pages already mention that his name is sometimes stylized as PAC-MAN.

Can't access SmashWiki on my 3DS and Wii U internet browser anymore?
Recently I've been unable to access this wiki on my 3DS and Wii U, but I can access it perfectly fine on a laptop and phone. The error code in particular is "112-1035", and the same thing happened to Wikibound and Starmen.net forums a few years ago.
