I feel there's been a lot of interest lately over tweaking the dissonance between the current treatment of smashers, crews, and tournaments. There's a couple ways we can go about this. Let's have an official on-wiki discussion. | I feel there's been a lot of interest lately over tweaking the dissonance between the current treatment of smashers, crews, and tournaments.

# Although crews are important to quite a few people (I'm in one as well), crews are overall a too minor part of Smash Bros. to need their own namespace. Tournaments are a large part of Smash Bros., especially in this era, where major tournaments are showing up on a monthly or even weekly basis now. --[[User:Meester Tweester|Meester Tweester]] ([[User talk:Meester Tweester|talk]]) 01:27, 20 September 2017 (EDT) | # Although crews are important to quite a few people (I'm in one as well), crews are overall a too minor part of Smash Bros. to need their own namespace.

# '''Namespace as Crew''' Although I understand the logic of crews being too minor to deserve a namespace, that's more the fault of the decision to have articles on crews in the first place. Having articles about crews open their pages with "Tournament:" would be confusing and misleading. I would prefer the prefix "Sponsor:" if the articles were just ones such as [[2GGaming]] and [[VGBootCamp]], but the inclusion of pages like [[Ha Ha You Lose]] and [[San Diego Love! ♥]] throws a spanner into this.

#... | # The reason that Smasher: was created in the first place, I imagine, was to distinguish in-game content from out-of-game content, and one namespace is sufficient for this. Furthermore, are we really sure that there aren't even more subjects relating competitive play, which will not fit under the very specific namespaces of smasher, tournament, and team? – [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] 16:05, 8 November 2017 (EST) | ||
===The decision=== | |||
It is pretty clear that option 2 is the winner. | |||
*There will be a <code>Tournament:</code> namespace. This is basically unanimous. | |||
*There will be a <code>Team:</code> namespace, with <code>Crew:</code> acting as a redirect (as Image: does to File:). I know this isn't the consensus, but I believe it is the better option, and having the redirect available means it doesn't really matter too much. | |||
Next steps: [[User:eXemplary Logic|XL]] (which if you don't know, is a bot that I run) will be handling the mass-move of all tournament and crew pages. However, this can't be done immediately; there needs to be a fair amount of preparation (such as generating the lists of "from pages" and "to pages"). Once the bot is ready to go, [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]] (the owner/developer) will be contacted to add the namespaces.
