Is there a reason why Smash 4 results seemingly are always mentioned first? – [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] 04:21, 4 July 2016 (EDT) | Is there a reason why Smash 4 results seemingly are always mentioned first? – [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] 04:21, 4 July 2016 (EDT) | ||
:It's just the ordering of the news template, similar to how it's done on the smasher template where it lists their Smash 4 mains first. However, I should mention that for the three results before WTFox 2 (where Melee was the largest game), Smash 4 was the largest game at those respective tournaments.

:::...alright, I didn't realize now that every one of these entries was a template themselves. In that case it makes sense to have the same order every time. – [[User:Smiddle|Smiddle]] 12:45, 18 July 2016 (EDT) | |||

== New Item == | |||
Should the new mysterious new item that was discovered yesterday be listed in the News template?

:It doesn't go in the news until it's officially confirmed; that said, [[List of rumors#Growth Psynergy leak|we have noted it]].

==SSBU Template== | |||
Should we create a template for SSBU results? The old formatting is much more easier, and I have no idea how to create templates. [[User:SugarCookie420|SugarCookie420]] ([[User talk:SugarCookie420|talk]]) 21:57, 6 January 2019 (EST) | |||
== Update 2.0 is coming next week. == | |||
Just got a notification that 2.0 is coming this week. Should we add it? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 11:59, 25 January 2019 (EST) | |||
== Regarding Stage Builder == | |||
Lots of discussion on the [[Talk:Stage_Builder#Leaked_for_Ultimate.|talk page]] regarding the fact that the Stage Builder isn't technically in, it's just been shown in an advertisement. Is it still good to keep the news as is stating that it's confirmed, despite the fact it's technically speculation? I don't think it is, but I'm not going to edit it until there's consensus.

==Rankings== | |||
Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I think we should announce when new global rankings are done being announced. The current ongoing ones are the [[Summer 2019 PGRU]] and [[Summer 2019 MPGR]]. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 05:56, July 31, 2019 (EDT) | |||

:I'd say probably not, as the news isn't specific to Smash or a franchise related to Smash. But I don't know for sure, so I would wait for someone higher up to give their decree one way or the other.

:We normally don't list deceaced people unless it's someone signifficant like Iwata. Plus it's not entirely related to Smash so no.

== Spirit events? == | |||
Are these not listed? I feel like they should be. At least the announcements, if not that they've begun. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 15:24, January 6, 2021 (EST) | |||
:I'd generally support having a portion of this template indicate the week's Spirit Board event or Event Tourney, since we seem to get one or the other weekly pretty consistently.

== Posting current ongoing tournament == | |||
Similar to how we have the current weekly in-game event in the news column, what if we added current major tournaments taking place right now. For example, we could show that GENESIS 8 is currently ongoing so people can easily see incase they want to watch it live. We already post results after the finals are finished. I think it is newsworthy to post the information during or even before the event. | |||
Here are some examples of how it could be displayed: | |||
'''Ongoing major tournament(s):''' {{trn|GENESIS 8}} | |||
'''Upcoming major tournament(s):'''{{trn|GENESIS 8}} | |||

:Should probably note that something similar has been [[Forum:Add an ongoing events section to the News template|suggested in the past]] to no avail. My opinion is still largely the same, in that unless we have some way to automatically update the section, I don't see a section like this really useful.

::I did not know about the previous proposal until now. I do have a question. Why does it need to be updated automatically? People already manually update '''weekly in-game event''', so I see no reason why the same can't be done for this (Edit: I just realized you made the same point in the forum). The news section is updated regularly anyways. | |||
::Regarding the complaint in the forum about tournaments lasting only a few days, I think it would make most sense to post the tournament beforehand (at the beginning of the week perhaps, as virtually all major tournaments take place on weekends). After the tournament is over, it can be removed and replaced by the same edit that posts the results of the tournament. -- [[User:Ethan7|<span style="color:#000f55;font-family:Cursive;font-style:italic">Ethan</span>]]<small>'' ([[User talk:Ethan7|<span style="color:Blue">Discussion</span>]])''</small> 14:18, April 15, 2022 (EDT) | |||
:::It's more so just a personal preference so we don't have to remember to make changes to the section every time a national tournament concludes, especially when tournaments often end late at night on my end.

::::It wouldn't be impossible to make an automatic list. Using the following creates a list for current tournaments: <code><nowiki>{{#categorytree:Current events|mode=pages|hideroot=on|hideprefix=always|namespaces=Tournament|style="display:inline-flex"}}</nowiki></code> (inline-flex is to put it into one line, is a list format otherwise). There's no way I've found to add commas, limit it to a certain number, sort it, or really any finer control and it also requires JavaScript. A better way would be with {{iw|mw|Extension:DynamicPageList}} which we don't have and may be the "extensions we don't currently have" that Toomai mentioned in the forum. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 15:30, April 15, 2022 (EDT) | |||
