The '''SmashWiki {{iw|wikipedia|Discord|software}} server''' is a chat outlet that saves chat history (which in turn means that users can pass messages to users who are not online). It replaces the now-obsolete IRC channel system.

#The Discord server will not be treated as an entirely separate entity from the wiki; should a user be banned from one, they'll be banned from the other. Minor offenses such as a short ban from the Discord server for spamming or a short ban from the wiki for edit warring may not result in the administration applying a ban on both, but longer term bans for more serious offenses on one will not be ignored on the other.

==Roles==
==Roles==
*'''Administrator''': They have the most permissions, being administrators, though this role can only be attained through being an admin/bureaucrat on the wiki; please do not request this role. They are trusted to monitor channels as well as resolve conflicts between other users.
*'''Administrator''': The most permissions of any role, able to make changes to the server at large, monitor channels, and resolve conflicts between other users. Note that this role can only be attained through being an admin/bureaucrat on the wiki; please do not request this role.  
*'''Chat operator''': One may apply for a Request for Operator, at which point other users will determine whether they are well-suited for the role, not unlike a Request for Adminship on the wiki itself. They are expected to monitor channels and resolve conflicts, not unlike an Administrator.
*'''Chat operator''': Monitors channels and resolves conflicts, similarly to an Administrator; by contrast, they don't necessarily have power on the wiki and cannot alter rules or channels. One may apply for a Request for Operator in the server, at which point other users will determine whether they are well-suited for the role, in a process similar to an on-wiki [[SW:RFA|Request for Adminship]].
*'''Silenced''': Used to prevent users from posting as punishment without kicking/banning said users, though it also allows them to read the messages of others.
*'''SmashWiki contributor''': Granted to autoconfirmed users on the wiki, which grants access to several additional channels, most notably #smashwiki. While having an autoconfirmed wiki account is generally required, admins do have the discretion to give the role to any wiki user that hasn't yet obtained autoconfirmation, if the user wants to discuss wiki-relevant matters and an admin deems they are genuine.
*'''Shame''': Users under shame may not access #leaks in any capacity.
*'''Competitive contributor''': Ping role for users who contribute to competitive Smash information on the wiki. Allows such users to be pinged for competitive-related matters on the wiki without having to ping the rest of the userbase, who may not care about competitive play or would otherwise be unable to give meaningful input.
*'''SmashWiki contributor''': Granted only to autoconfirmed users on the wiki, which grants access to several additional channels.
*'''NIWA affiliate''': Granted only to the administrative staff of NIWA wikis.
*'''NIWA affiliate''': Granted only to the administrative staff of NIWA wikis.
