SmashWiki talk:What SmashWiki is not

credit

Loosely based off of Wikipedia:Wikipedia:NOT. Miles (talk) 00:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Psh, hardly needed. C. Hawk tells me this every three days. BALτʀο [ talk ] 00:04, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

And you clearly aren't getting it, then, aren't you? How about, as my user page says at the top: SmashWiki is not a counseling service for emotionally orphaned youths. Keep your problems away from the keyboard, please. Semicolon (talk) 00:05, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I have seen that before. And it's hardly my problem, now is it, if it's Clarinet Hawk telling me this. BALτʀο [ talk ] 00:07, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Could you clarify things on the forum part? I know what you mean, but it should be clear what you mean. It is going to be a policy, you know. Cheezperson {talk}stuff 03:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Considering the fact that CH edited it

I guess this is ready to go up?SmoreKing Happy Holidays! 20:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

If one other sysop (excluding myself, the author) approves of it here, as it is, then yes, it becomes official. Miles (talk) 22:48, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Not true. I don't constitute a consensus. And I'm not ready to make this an administrative decision. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 23:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough; I was merely trying to explain that I alone am not consensus. I was also trying to get people's attention to determine the consensus. I think it's mostly good, but I want to hear the voices of other users too, especially sysops. Miles (talk) 23:21, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

All that said, if nothing comes up against this soon, I'll make it policy. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 02:17, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't think anybody's really going to page attention to this policy...Should we use {{Violation}} for this?Smoreking^(T) _(c) 15:33, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Fan stuff stiffening

I propose that the section on "SmashWiki is not fanon" be changed to the following:

SmashWiki covers the canon Smash series, not fanon or invented additions. While the existence of things such as fan fiction, machinima, and fan games should not be ignored, articles on specific creations do not have a place here.

Might need another sentence about unofficial terms being covered under SW:OFFICIAL, and not SW:NOT. Toomai Glittershine eXemplary Logic 22:03, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. Miles (talk) 23:13, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

I second the motion.L33t Silvie ^{I see wat u did thar...}

Third. 98.111.95.78 03:51, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Fanon should be kept on the fanon version of the wiki. BNK ^[E|T|C] 04:48, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Right then, if no one opposes this before Monday, it's going through. Toomai Glittershine The Table Designer 23:11, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Passed, based on lack of opposition. Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 13:39, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

CHawk's forum idea

CHawk had the proposition today on the IRC that we start softening the forum rules, with the idea that giving editors something to do other than make small improvements will help the wiki stay non-stale until the next Smash Bros. game. This would require SW:NOT to be modified. Discuss. Toomai Glittershine The Stats Guy 22:49, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
