Talk:Metal Box/Character gallery

So...

A thought dawned on me. Due to the differences between versions, should we include the 3DS version's Metal Box characters as well, or would that be overkill? Disaster Flare (talk) 23:05, 11 January 2016 (EST)

That thought crossed my mind. But the problem is there's no fast and easy way to do it, because Special Smash isn't an option in Smash 3DS. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 23:06, 11 January 2016 (EST)

Considering I supplied a temporary Cloud one from 3DS until a Wii U one is supplied, I can be the one to supply the images if it's decided to do it. Disaster Flare (talk) 23:08, 11 January 2016 (EST)

Like seriously, I can spend an entire day working on that if they're needed. I don't mind one bit. Disaster Flare (talk) 23:19, 11 January 2016 (EST)

I could add them if you don't mind. I have some time. -- The 70's called. They said BeepYou was here :v 23:24, 11 January 2016 (EST)

I think we should wait for more input first. I don't wanna start any big project without support. Disaster Flare (talk) 23:25, 11 January 2016 (EST)

Awright then. But if you get the green light, you can still count on me. -- The 70's called. They said BeepYou was here :v 23:35, 11 January 2016 (EST)

Though getting a green light without Ryan due to his hiatus will be hard considering Nyargle is currently semi-active, Miles is usually occupied and OT and Mr. Glittershine are not active. -- The 70's called. They said BeepYou was here :v 23:40, 11 January 2016 (EST)

Bump. Disaster Flare (talk) 15:13, 14 January 2016 (EST)

I don't think you really need an admin's approval here. I'd say go for it. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe DatNuttyKid. 15:15, 14 January 2016 (EST)

Aight, I'll get started then. Disaster Flare (talk) 15:16, 14 January 2016 (EST)

Wii U Mii Fighters

While the most recent ones show the "default" Mii Fighter designs, on the page itself it show the thumb for the older uploaded ones which depict different Miis. I don't have time right now but I think the way to solve this is to re-upload the correct pic and delete the old one? Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 13:39, 16 January 2016 (EST)

I had that issue initially, but it fixed after refreshing the page. Have you tried that? Disaster Flare (talk) 13:39, 16 January 2016 (EST)

Yea hard refreshing fixes anything like that. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 13:40, 16 January 2016 (EST)

That works, but in principle I don't think that it shouldn't be a thing. Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 13:42, 16 January 2016 (EST)

Trust me, neither do I. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 13:43, 16 January 2016 (EST)

Oh, you uploaded them, so it could be an easy fix. Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 13:46, 16 January 2016 (EST)

(Reset indent) ...I might've read that first comment wrong, and now I'm confused. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 13:47, 16 January 2016 (EST)

I'm saying the "old" pictures (the ones NOT depicting the "correct" Miis) should be deleted. Idk how to do that though. Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 13:50, 16 January 2016 (EST)

That might not be possible, considering Aidan uploaded over them. Disaster Flare (talk) 13:51, 16 January 2016 (EST)

Yea they're not new files, they're just new images over old ones. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 13:52, 16 January 2016 (EST)

Tag them for deletion, re-upload them (copy them to your computer first if you don't already have them on your device), put them on the page. Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 13:53, 16 January 2016 (EST)

(Reset indent) Why does it matter if I do that? Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 13:54, 16 January 2016 (EST)

In principle, having to hard refresh to see the correct image shouldn't be a thing? It's not difficult, but I don't have the time to do it right now, that's why I'm suggesting that someone should do that. Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 13:56, 16 January 2016 (EST)

So you're asking me to do a multistep task to avoid having to simply press Command-R (or F5 if you're on PC)? ...Your logic is a bit flawed. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 13:57, 16 January 2016 (EST)

Caching is a thing that exists. Hard refreshing or using the purge command isn't hard. Miles (talk) 14:01, 16 January 2016 (EST)

Not really. It's not a matter of "It's not hard, you can just do this to correct this." Must we have a notice on the top of the page saying "To see the right image for the Mii Fighters on this page, please hard refresh?" It's a matter of making the page better, a matter of things not being the way they should be, but in response, improving it. It's very small, yes, but it's something that could be improved and I don't think one should have to refresh the page to see the right information, or in this case, the information we desire to present. Logic: Hypothetically, you go to a character page, like Greninja. You see its damage output on its page. Turns out you have to refresh the page to see the current damage output from the latest update. Shouldn't that be there from the start? Would you want that?

Anyways, I didn't know about purging so thanks for that Miles. Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 14:04, 16 January 2016 (EST)

...I think you're missing the point. Most people who work on this wiki would know by going through the Recent Changes if an image gets updated; that said, if the image present on a page is not, then they refresh it. As for people without an account, they actually get the most recent version of the image right from the get go (if memory serves). Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 14:08, 16 January 2016 (EST)

I should have clarified earlier that I was logged out looking at the page, and that I didn't see the intended images right from the get-go. I did when I refreshed though. Idk I just think it'd be more "professional" if you could actually see what is intended to be on the page from the start. Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 14:13, 16 January 2016 (EST)

As I said before, so do I. But that's just the way things are. Aidan, the Wandering Space Warrior 14:14, 16 January 2016 (EST)

But it's fixable. I'll probably just do it myself tonight Aardvarkian (Talk • Contributions) 14:15, 16 January 2016 (EST)
