Currently, the only page in other languages is [[Global Smasher Compendium]] ([[GSC/fr|fr]], [[GSC/sv|sv]], [[GSC/es|es]]) which I personally find a shame. Maybe we should have other pages in other languages (like [sv:Super Smash Bros. Melee] for a Swedish SSBM article).

:: I don't know that we have enough of an international audience for that to make a huge difference. Also I'd be concerned about having to monitor the content of different wikis in different languages on top of this one, and handling policies on each, and the extra administrative work that would probably be involved. I'm really just not convinced that there's a significant need for this. --[[User:Kirby King|<font color="red"><b><i>Kirby King</i></b></font>]] 02:07, March 21, 2007 (GMT) | :: I don't know that we have enough of an international audience for that to make a huge difference.

Is it necessary to have the Japanese pronunciations if it's just Engrish? Is there a point to writing "Kyaputen Farukon" (Captain Falcon) or "Roi" (Roy) or "Rinku" (Link)? Some, such as Pikachu and Mario are written exactly the same way. And this also goes for "Kuppa" (Bowser). Why not just write "Koopa" and leave it at that? | Is it necessary to have the Japanese pronunciations if it's just Engrish?

*'''[[Ryota Hayami]]''': This is an example I've already implemented in the past. Notice how I've started the article with an introduction of Ryota, then somewhat detailed what he is like in the Wave Race games, then proceeded to summarize Ryota's each and every appearance thus far in the Smash Bros. series. In Ryota's case his only appearance was in a Melee trophy, but since the trophy is named Ryota Hayami, it should be and is fully detailed in the article. If Ryota is to make any Smash appearances in the future, the way this page is laid out will allow for additional content about that. | *'''[[Ryota Hayami]]''': This is an example I've already implemented in the past.

An advantage to doing everything in this format is that all these pages can be easily extended to accomodate new content from Brawl when it is released.

Another advantage is that now you won't have to be a Smasher in order to understand how the site's content is arranged and titled; whereas before you'd have to knowingly search for Chansey (trophy) to get to a tiny page about a character ''who probably has other equally undeveloped articles about it'', now you can just type in the name of a Nintendo subject like Marth and get an informative and developed page about him as a Nintendo character that summarizes all his appearance in the Smash Bros. series thus far (including full details on the three Melee trophies named Marth), and people interested in how Marth plays can follow a link from the Marth page to [[Marth (SSBM)]] (and another link to [[Marth (SSBB)]] in the future, if he is to return in Brawl). If SmashWiki's aim is to be accessible to both casual gamers and hardcore Smashers, then I think doing things this way would work out great for everyone.
