:I don't want to have to keep potentially annoying you, but it's just as annoying to both established editors and casual readers to give absolutely no information on when part 2 of the tier list, three months after part 1 ended despite saying part 2 would come in one month. It's annoying to people who come here for info on tier lists, and it's annoying to people who want to contribute to the consensus. The least that can be done is to say a reason why part 2 is taking so long when it's much more important in my opinion than most of the things you've been actively editing recently.

Hello, Toomai. Recently I've been having a lot of anxiety regarding {{tl|SpiritBattleRow}}. A part of me feels like it is a lot of effort for only a few benefits; those being a fixed-size inspiration section and easier DLC handling. Specifying a min-width for the inspiration column minimizes the tall rows on small screens, which makes the fixed-size cells in the template less necessary. That leaves the DLC parts the only main benefit. As someone who has made templates for site-wide usage and has a lot of experience I wanted know if you had any thoughts or advice on the matter. I'm willing to change everything back to a standard wikitable if you think that would be best. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 04:01, March 22, 2021 (EDT)

::There are two main benefits of a template for this sort of thing: enforced consistency (preventing one page from being different than any of the others unless it just isn't written to use the template yet), and ease of change (one can edit the single template instead of every single row). For a use case like this, the only problem I can see is the risk of future changes requiring extra effort to fix (such as the introduction of battles with DLC-caused changes), since they can't be "freeform" and must be put into the template proper until they can be displayed at all.

== Symbol Update ==
Hello Toomai!
I'd like to change the current Dragalia Lost symbol with this new version, it's a SVG file and it's more in line with the look from the game. Right now this is protected so I need some help changing it.

:This looks like the exact design I saw elsewhere on the internet as I was searching for references to create our current version of the symbol. I did not use it directly because it would be copying the original artist's work, so I instead investigated the original source material and did my own outline of the shape. Therefore, in order to change it, I will need proof that it is 1. more accurate and 2. not stealing from someone else.

Do you have a newgrounds account? Cause I can message you and confirm that I am the original artist. Actually I'll just edit the description showing you.

And here is a [https://imgur.com/j5ELvB1 Reference ] showing it's more accurate.

== Regarding Rosalina & Luma's stock icon images ==
You'll have to read this slowly, I tried to write this as concisely as possible.
Seems it was your bot that uploaded Rosalina & Luma's stock icon rips, for SSB4 and SSBU. Is there a reason that you have most of the filenames as "RosalinaHead" instead of "Rosalina&LumaHead?" Obviously the icons only depict Rosalina, but the alt costumes break [[Template:CharHead]], and theirs are the only icons with filenames inconsistent with the fighter's full title, as well as with each other - the main SSB4 icons [[:File:Rosalina&LumaHeadSSB4-U.png|here]] and [[:File:Rosalina&LumaHeadSSB4-3.png|here]] are the only of their icons that use the proper full title.
If this was an unintentional discrepancy, I can move all of the alt costume stock icons to use their full title, hence creating redirects and fixing the problem.

[[File:SamtheBKBossSIGN.png|16px]] 12:33, September 17, 2021 (EDT)
:For those not watching the Discord, this was discussed and resolved there. Basically XL is stuck with legacy code that means it can't use the "& Luma" without being forced to also use "& Pikmin" when it uploads images, which is annoying but can be fixed with minimal fuss by redirects.

== Dark/Night Mode on [[Music (SSBB)]] ==
Hello Toomai. I noticed that [[Music (SSBB)]] has white text on a black background, reminiscent of "dark mode" common on Google, YouTube, and other popular sites. I'm not sure if it's my laptop (I have it set to automatically enable dark mode at night) or if it's being tested and I just ruined the surprise, but I thought you'd might know. The thing is, Music (SSBB) and its talk page are the only places one can see this dark mode applied (as far as I know); every other page has the traditional black-on-white. I can upload a screenshot if you can't see it. <font face="Trebuchet MS">[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:#0000a5">Ninjakoopa</span>]]</font> 23:49, October 30, 2021 (EDT)

== Flag of Kyrgyzstan ==
Hi. I noticed that the page [[Smasher:Crescentsoru]] has a broken file link, due to the wiki lacking the flag of Kyrgyzstan. I was going to upload the flag myself, but decided against it as the [[:Category:Flags]] page says the svg may need to be modified and I lack the technical knowledge to do so, so I thought I'd contact you about it. The smasher article in question is flagged for notability, so I don't know if it's worth adding the flag just now, but in case it is I thought I'd contact you about it.
