:I THINK I have a resolution, ~~atleast~~ to the templates. I know we who come from SmashWiki loves templates, yea... But once, I created templates for each series, one for each Smash game. I had everything in it. Characters, moves, stage locations, stages, items, Poké Ball-Pokémon, Assist Trophies, trophies, stickers and background characters. Yea... but then the moves, Poké Ball-Pokémon, trophies, stickers and background characters disappeard. A little bit later, the three (about each game) started to merg into one, and other ones was created about the special moves. If we could continue to merge the three templates (about each game) into one, and include the Poké Ball-Pokémon aswell as the moves, it would save us, like, hundreds of unnecesary templates.

::BTW, could you delete the articles about stages in SmashWiki.Merge/? All information is now written on the 'real' ones, and that would ALSO save us many bites.[[User:King M|King M]] 20:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC){{user|King M}} March, 1 2008 21:32 (GMT +01)

::::::We could always make a Smasher namespace dedicated to Smasher articles, so that we keep actual game content limited to the mainspace. --[[User:Charitwo|Charitwo]] 22:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad some of these were brought up for the rest of the community. :)

Re #1: I'll address it (in part) with a link to [[User talk:Charitwo#Gonko]] and [[SmashWiki:Pool Room#Extension requests]]. That they are of little use to casual gamers is of little doubt; however, they ''do'' have merit to SmashWiki'rs as KK said. As I said at #extension requests, I also don't think the majority of the names need to be in the main space; I would be satisfied with redirects out of the main space and into the user space. Randall argues that we shouldn't be the ones to assert notability, as none but Ken and a handful of others have had their names tossed around outside of the Smash World Forums community, whilst many of them ''are'' notable within said community. As that's the community which has worked on SmashWiki and not ssb-wikia... I would not disagree with the creation of a Smasher namespace, but having redirects might still be a good thing. As to [[:category:Crews|Crews]], I don't know.

Re #2: For the moves of characters, we have one too, which is somewhere in [[:Category:Template namespace templates]], it's just that it ended up being substed onto each characters specific page.

#2a: I've been working on consolidating "universe" templates. For example, I merged T:SSBF-Zero, T:SSBBF-Zero, and T:SSBMF-Zero into one template, [[Template:F-Zero]], while also converting colors, the "|" character to the bullet character, and now that I can, my plans are to use [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] and [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] table classes "collapsible autocollapse" to shrink the templates like wikipedia does, and so we can have one all-inclusive template.

Re #3: I'm guessing the Main Page is at [[SmashWiki:Merge/Main Page]]? One of our steadfast admins (prolly Chari) can do that. =]

Re #4: SmashWiki's, definitely. Only thing is is that I have no idea where it went. I PMed KK on the forums to see if he knows...
