Talk:Smash Bros. DOJO!! updates

Do we really need this? – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 15:02, June 13, 2007 (EDT)

No, not really, but this is the result of a compromise. Before there was an separate article for every single update, so just be happy that we agreed on condensing it all into a single article.Thores 15:31, June 13, 2007 (EDT)

From my understanding, SmashWiki does not play by all the rules of normal Wikipedia, as evidenced by how we have seemingly a thousand articles on what amounts to players of the games. I'll always find that aspect of the wiki questionable, but this page and any other page at this level should be kept because I find it a good deal more useful than a page on an obscure Smasher. When Brawl is released, this will merely serve as a log of how info was revealed, which might be interesting to some enthusiasts. I believe there was a category and template used in the old update pages that will no longer be used, so those should be deleted. Erik the Appreciator 12:42, June 14, 2007 (EDT)

Apparently this page is important: it's got 740 page views in the span of a week. I think there's a level of actual usefulness in having this on here; the updates on Dojo, in displaying info about the game, sometimes imply things that may or may not actually be meant by the site, while at other times updates are vaguely worded and open to interpretation. Today's Wario update talks about Wario's martial art that can't be seen by opponents; some readers think it refers to his odd animations from the previous trailer, while others think it's about his flatulence. In having this page on SmashWiki we can more clearly demonstrate to readers what is actually said and said not in each Dojo update, and make notes of what is currently unknown about certain aspects of what each update reveals.

Not disagreeing with you or anything, but at least 100 of those pageviews was me making edits : P Thores 19:30,` June 20, 2007 (EDT)

Upside down

I think the page would look better if it were upside down. if it was in order from most recent to least, it would be better. anyone want to do it, or i'll do it tomorrow--Idontgottaname 20:57, June 21, 2007 (EDT)

Please don't. I'd much rather we kept it in chronological order. -Thores 22:09, June 21, 2007 (EDT)

I'd have to agree with Thores. Theoretically, upside down would work if this page was meant to be just parroting the Dojo site itself as a sort of daily newsletter, but this is more meant to be a log of the updates. Once Brawl is released there'd be no more updates to add here. By then people would want the page here as a document enshrining when and how the updates were posted here like a timeline, and timelines are usually from earliest to most recent.
