When another user reverts your edit or removes information you added, do not undo the revert and re-add the removed information; instead bring it up on the talk page and discuss it with the user(s) reverting you. In the case of vandalism or the adding of obvious falsehoods, it's acceptable to not attempt discussing it on the talk page if a user undoes your revert, though in which case, you should notify an administrator instead of continuing the edit war. | When another user reverts your edit or removes information you added, do not undo the revert and re-add the removed information; instead bring it up on the talk page and discuss it with the user(s) reverting you.

Falco is so cheap! All he can do is shoot lasers and chain grab people. He should not be rated so high on the tier list!!!

Talk pages | Talk pages are not to be used to discuss your opinion on the subject of the article. SmashWiki does not care if you think {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} is a great character that people shouldn't think is bad, or that [[edge hogging]] should be banned because it's cheap. Telling SmashWiki your opinion does nothing to improve the article, and just wastes space on the talk page. Save these kinds of posts for the [[Forum:Index|forums]]. | ||

Talk pages | Talk pages are not to be used to ask for help/advice about something relating to the subject of the article. [[SW:NOT#SmashWiki is not tech support|SmashWiki is not a help site for Smash Bros]], and questions asking for advice on talk pages do not help improve the article. Such questions should be asked in the forums. | ||

If | If what you have to discuss has been discussed to resolution before, and you got nothing new to add or nothing happened since the discussion's resolution to make it outdated/irrelevant, do not bring the old discussion back up. | ||

Do not try arguing tier placements and the listed matchups on the wiki; SmashWiki does not decide the tier list nor matchups, we report what the [[Smash Back Room]] decides. Arguing tier placements and matchups on here is a waste of your time. If you really feel that the SBR is wrong, argue it on [http://www.smashboards.com/ Smashboards], not here. | |||

Do not use talk pages to complain about issues you have with an article's quality. SmashWiki is a collaborative project worked purely on a voluntary basis that anyone can help with, and it takes a significant amount of time to complete it; [[SmashWiki is not complete]] and there will be information the Wiki should have but doesn't at the moment. As such, if there are any issues you have with an article's content, don't complain to the wiki about it. Such complaining does nothing to improve the article, and just annoys other users who are already likely aware of any problems the article may have. Instead, help us and make such improvements to the article yourself; anyone can edit the wiki, including you. Or, if you're completely incapable of making such improvements (such as the page being [[SW:PROTECT|protected]]), at least politely point out on the talk page what you think the article specifically needs. | |||
