Forum:Add an ongoing events section to the News template
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

I've recently been thinking about potentially adding an ongoing/current events section to the News template in similar vein to Wikipedia's. This section would essentially cover any significant events within the Smash community such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and any notable tournaments. I have created a mockup of what I think it should look like below:
Ongoing events: COVID-19 pandemic, The Big House 9, Smash 'N' Splash 5 |
As you might already be able to tell, this would go under the "Latest version" section in the News template. Obviously on the mainpage it'd look a lot smaller though. This section would need to be manually edited every time a new tournament is ongoing or ends. Thoughts? Señor Mexicano (talk) 19:02, July 16, 2020 (EDT)

- Tournaments usually only last a few days, yea? Having to constantly change this for small things would be a pain in the ass. There's also the fact that we already report on major tournaments in the news template after the fact. Aidan, the Rurouni 19:19, July 16, 2020 (EDT)
- Tournaments rarely last long enough for this to be particularly worthwhile, and the pandemic stuff is obvious enough without further drawing attention to it. Miles (talk) 19:21, July 16, 2020 (EDT)
