CEO 2016: Added total pot for Tekken 7 on lineup table.

Hey Trip, I have to inform you on something. Since Tekken 7 at CEO '16 is a free to enter game meaning no base pot (there is however a $3K bonus pot), I implemented the total pot for that game. I would like to let you know that this is currently as of this writing the only established total pot for the event. I'm not trying to cause controversy, but since the tournament is FGC-run, and since I added a table, I kinda wanted to get that part of info out of the way. Congrats on being an admin (don't know which month you became one). Thank you for your time. --Falconian Leader (talk) 21:39, 25 May 2016 (EDT)

That's fine (at least in my eyes) since it's a bonus pot, and since there's no base pot, it's unlikely to rise. Oh, and thanks, I became one exactly two months ago. :D Disaster Flare (talk) 21:42, 25 May 2016 (EDT)

Also Trip, Wii U doubles has reached it's player cap. Nyargle told me to get another opinion, but I accidentally implemented the "256" number within the table, without knowing about this reply. Going by Alex Jebailey's tweets, it's pretty unlikely that Wii U doubles will get its cap increased. The tweets that caught my eye are right here: Jebailey confirming that Smash 4 doubles reaches its player cap, Jebailey answering my question regarding whether the cap will be increased. See the other tweets in here. CEOGaming, CEOJebailey. Thanks. :) -- Falcon-X (VISIT MY DOJO) 14:21, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

Hmm...yeah that's fine. They seem pretty settled on that being the cap, and if they do happen to update it, we can easily change it later. Disaster Flare (talk) 14:24, 26 May 2016 (EDT)

question

When a probated person tries to edit their user page (and anything else probation blocks them from editing), what message do they see when they try to do so? Chilex (talk) 17:56, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

No clue. I've only ever been probated once and it was on a completely different wiki so. Disaster Flare (talk) 18:03, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

Can you probate me real quick so I can see for myself? I'm curious. Chilex (talk) 18:05, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

That would be an abuse of power since I'd be probating you for no reason, so I cannot accept. Disaster Flare (talk) 18:08, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

Whoops, my b. Chilex (talk) 18:09, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

Unless policies and attitudes have drastically changed, I wouldn't think that's an abuse of power. We had a few shoe-puppets for that exact purpose (can't remember the passwords, but I'd be happy to create a new one to check). Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 18:16, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

(reset indent) I see, I didn't start becoming active until late last year so I have no knowledge of anywhere where policies may have changed. Disaster Flare (talk) 18:22, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

To answer the question, I suspect what would appear is the text controlled by this system message. Oscuritaforze (talk) 18:25, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

@ Oscuritaforze: It should be that.

@ Disater Flare: Its not an abuse of power to test the system, especially when you have clear consent from the other user. Just probate him/her for 10 minutes at a predetermined time. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 18:57, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

Abusing power would be when someone blocks them for undoing their edit, though i think that no one ever did that in the history of SmashWiki. (Though i heard of some users from the old SmashWiki were a bit crazy) Poultry(talk) the God-Slayer 19:09, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

Self contradiction

I just added the "New Jersey Smashers" Category. You said it was fine... Hello! It's'a me, Cypher123. ∆u∆ (talk) 13:24, 2 June 2016 (EDT)

Umm...no? I said on Smasher articles, categories are okay. User pages on SmashWiki are not to have any categories of any kind. Disaster Flare (talk) 13:31, 2 June 2016 (EDT)

Ah. I don't catch the concept as much as I would like, but what is the exact difference aside from being a different user? (And the category thing.)
