SmashWiki is best English Super Smash Bros. wiki. It's a lot better than that Wikia thing. I forget what it's called. Never use personal attacks against someone. If you're thinking about requesting for adminship, ask yourself this question: What do the administrators do on this wiki? What are their jobs and responsibilities? Listing your major contributions to this wiki can be helpful, but it's not as good as showing how you have great leadership skills. If you can do a lot of the things that the admins on this wiki do, you've got a good shot at passing! Flooding Recent Changes with a lot of small edits to multiple pages is not good, but it's worth it if the result is something helpful to the wiki. Don't let Recent Changes and things like that stop you from contributing stuff. If you're in a dispute and your side presents a bunch of new arguments, don't automatically consider your side right and immediately make the changes. You aren't giving the opposing side a chance to comment on these arguments, and they could be proven wrong. Give everyone plenty of time to read your arguments before making a final decision. If you see someone doing the exact same minor edits to several pages, or edits that involve a multi-step process, such as moving images and fixing the links on articles, don't try to finish the work for them immediately. It creates edit conflicts and doesn't help the other editor, who is wasting time and had the original idea of what it would look like. If you see something like that, wait a while before trying to finish it for them. Don't immediately archive a discussion that you just commented on and think that it's resolved. Archives are really annoying to undo, it makes it harder for people to view it, and it prevents others from commenting on it; even if you think it's resolved, others may still want to add something to it. Wait at least a day before archiving it so everybody can see it easily. It's always helpful to add an edit summary to your edits. Adding an edit summary such as "spelling error" could potentially save reviewers from wasting time and looking over something really minor. If you're requesting for adminship, it's always best to show how you would be a good admin through your actions on the wiki. Why say that you'll become more active and responsible once you're an admin when you could become more active and responsible now? If you're in a dispute and all your arguments are refuted and you can't come up with new ones, it could mean that your viewpoint is wrong. If you're a new user here, you should read this policy first. It provides you with a lot of basic information about the wiki and sums up pretty much all of the information needed for you to start editing. Check out the manual of style if you edit mainspace and smasher articles here. It contains really helpful information about grammar structure, writing and heading styles, wiki coding, and more. , you ask yourself? It's free and very easy! It provides you with more anonymity than an IP address because if you edit with an account, your IP address won't be visible to everyone. It lets you track all of your contributions. It provides you with new features such as creating a userpage, moving articles, and uploading images. Using an account name will make it much easier to fit in the community and for others to address you. Create an account now! Don't feel afraid to express your opinion here because you're a new user, or you're afraid the admins or senior members will disagree with you. Your thoughts and opinions are valuable to us, and any admin or senior member will gladly discuss things with you if you have something you'd like to share. Marking an edit as minor can be really helpful. You choose to hide minor edits on the Recent Changes log. If traffic is really high and a lot of edits are made, hiding edits such as fixing spelling errors can be very useful, leaving only the stuff that really needs to be checked. Avoid making a bunch of small edits to a single page at one time. It clogs up Recent Changes and makes it harder for people to patrol them. If you know you're going to be making a ton of small edits to a page, edit the entire page at once, not in sections, don't save immediately once you've added something small, and use the preview button. Just like almost any skill in life, a wiki grows based on how much effort its editors put into it. The preview button is a really useful tool. It's always helpful to use it, but it's especially helpful when adding a huge amount of information to an article or dealing with a lot of coding such as in tables. By using Show preview, you can check for any spelling errors or mistakes you've made in just one edit, while saving first and then fixing mistakes will create multiple edits in Recent Changes and make it harder for people to track them. When explaining a policy violation to a new user, state their violation clearly, along with reasons why what they did is a bad thing, and possibly what they can do to fix the problem. This will help a user learn what they did wrong better than using sarcasm to explain what they did wrong, or not leaving an explanation of why the thing they did is bad.
