Fan made stuff on Smashwiki

If we have Project M on here, why not put on Super Smash Flash?

Because Project M's reach is almost as good as the series itself. I assume you haven't read the debate on whether to add Project M or not by asking such a question. You probably haven't read what the site is not either. Besides, McleodGaming has its own wiki to cover SSF2. Don't forget to sign your comments. Dragon5 (talk) 20:37, 1 February 2014 (EST)

That's actually true I have always been wondering why Project M is here and not other fan made games. I always thought Project M was not fan made. I know SSF series has its own wiki but should we put it in a page called "Fan Made Versions of Super Smash Bros.Rosapuff (talk) 08:58, 6 February 2014 (EST)

Conjecture template

I've been poking around the templates and, pardon me if my eyes are playing tricks on me, it seems that we don't have a template for articles with conjectural titles. It seems to me that such a template would be necessary, especially with a new game coming along, so is there a specific reason why this template is still non-existent? Or was it simply wasn't necessary up until this point - 'cause I can name a few articles that need this template, if need be. Again, sorry if I just didn't see it. --72.53.134.85 17:05, 2 February 2014 (EST)

We have the unofficial lingo part of {{ArticleIcons}}. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Different 17:28, 2 February 2014 (EST)
Ohhh, oops. :P Thanks for the clarification. All articles which need the icon have it. Although, you must admit, the icon isn't that noticeable. Maybe a template would be better - then again, it does take up a lot of space... Anyway, thank you again! --72.53.134.85 17:44, 2 February 2014 (EST)

Attack page project?

So i recently noticed this page http://www.ssbwiki.com/Fox_(SSBM)/Up_tilt . Im wondering who is in charge of this hitbox/frame project, because id love to help, especially on mewtwo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DJLO (talkcontribs) 11:11, 13 February 2014 (EST)

No one's explicitly "in charge", though I do go over each page to make sure what people add seems legit and fill in data I have that others leave out/don't know. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Yoshi 13:12, 13 February 2014 (EST)

Featured Article

I've noticed how many wikis, from bulbapedia and zeldapedia all the way up to wikipedia itself have "featured articles," or the best articles in the site. Should we have that here?75.85.64.155 22:23, 27 February 2014 (EST)

I wasn't aware that blind people could use the Wiki, especially when Artificial Intelligence is the featured article at the moment. MegaTron1XDDecepticon.png 14:52, 2 March 2014 (EST)

Not like that, I mean something like a tag, like the Brock page on Bulbapedia.75.85.64.155 16:32, 15 March 2014 (EDT)

You mean this category? Because we've got that. I don't think we need some banner at the top of random pages. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 19:22, 15 March 2014 (EDT)
Do you mean a featured article icon, because we have that represented by a gold circle with a star. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) File:Zeldabrawl.gif File:Falcobrawl.gif is made in America 22:28, 15 March 2014 (EDT)\
Can we get an April Fools featured article? Like lying about something (such as saying Pichu is the strongest Melee character)? --TheLegendaryKRB (talk) 22:44, 31 March 2014 (EDT)

April Fools' Day

I would just like to talk about some of the "new" things that were added to the SmashWiki today: 1. Is the new skin for SmashWiki permanent, or not? Because, in my opinion, it looks too similar to the Donkey Kong Wiki, and it looks REALLY bad on the SmashWiki. 2. The stuff about Wreck-It Ralph and Nester should be deleted sometime soon, if not tomorrow. 3. To prevent these things from happening again, I suggest we make the SmashWiki only changeable by users of the wiki.

I'm not saying I'm leaving this wiki if these changes don't get applied, but I just thought I'd throw these things out there (even if they're completely in the obvious). Aidanzapunk (talk) 12:57, 1 April 2014 (EST)

Don't worry, were revert everything at the end of the day. Users are responsible for cleaning up after themselves. ZeldaStarfoxfan2164 (talk) is a never lover boy 13:00, 1 April 2014 (EDT)

Thank you; it's not like I doubted that the changes would be reverted, but I just wanted to double check. Aidanzapunk (talk) 13:17 1, April 2014 (EST)

The skin isn't here anymore, but it's been two days and the 'Users should take note of the wiki's new skin' note is still there. THIS IS REALLY BUGGING ME75.85.64.155 00:45, 4 April 2014 (EDT)

It shouldn't be there, I undid it at the proper time. Try going to this page or this page and doing a hard refresh. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Cloronic 11:53, 4 April 2014 (EDT)
It's still there what do i do75.85.64.155 20:19, 14 April 2014 (EDT)

png

I don't want to make this sound like a big deal or anything, but for future and current reference, can we try uploading images as .png rather than .jpg, as png doesn't worsen the quality of the image like jpg does. For some images this isn't as bad, but for others .jpg really makes the image look worse than the original (especially when the image is scaled down in the article itself). Idk, I just believe that as a Wiki we should have high quality screens. Unknown the Hedgehog 08:46, 10 April 2014 (EDT)

Yes, I am one who will stare at an HD image admiring the quality, but some pictures can't really get in to higher quality. Plus, if clicked on on the SmashWiki, .jpgs already show up at a decent quality. I don't know if this is really necessary. Aidanzapunk (talk) 08:54, 10 April 2014 (EDT)
While yes, for whatever reason, Nintendo releases their screenshots in jpg (and because of that we won't be able to get better quality images), they are still in good quality. But when the image is uploaded as a jpg again here on the Wiki, it doesn't fair up well. Unknown the Hedgehog 13:40, 10 April 2014 (EDT)
