SmashWiki:New game procedure (original)

Template:Proposed policy Proposals regarding how the wiki should handle SSB4 content during the lead-up to SSB3DS coming out in Japan in September, and into the timeframe afterwards.

• All content claimed for the new titles will require one of two types of sources to be included as legitimate, being either:
  • Video footage, which must be clear and unambiguous.
  • Screenshots posted from the game on Miiverse, with a link to the source post.
• The following sources alone will not be considered sufficient for information to be included here:
  • Screenshots not from Miiverse. Single image fakes are comparably easy to produce.
  • Reports from other sites that do not cite one of the two accepted types of sources listed above.
• The Super Smash Bros. 4 page will be partially split into the following pages:
  • Super Smash Bros. 4 will remain as a page that summarizes the two versions together, and should cover content common to the two versions (characters, general gameplay).
  • Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS will be split off, and cover content exclusive to that version (stages, Smash Run) in addition to a brief summary of content from the main SSB4 page.
  • Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be split off, and cover content exclusive to that version (stages, amiibo before the 3DS connector for that is released) in addition to a brief summary of content from the main SSB4 page.
• Abbreviation/short form setup:
  • Page title versions: SSB4, SSBU or SSB4-U, SSB3DS or SSB4-3DS
  • In-text versions: SSB4 or Smash 4, for Wii U, for 3DS

Suggestions, thoughts, criticism, etc. are welcomed.
