| == Incorrect Australian release date? ==
| |
| Basically, this section was started due to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Super_Smash_Bros.&curid=7935&diff=2393780&oldid=2388904 an attempt on Bulbapedia to have an Australian release date for Super Smash Bros.] After some searching on SmashWiki failed, I came across the date on this article for December 17th, 1999. However, with no reference on the article, I attempted to take the date and try to find a source that would collaborate it through a search engine. When that failed, I ended up checking the history and found [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Smash_Bros.&diff=next&oldid=1636418 that an IP address with only three other edits had added the date with no source.] I was wondering if anyone could collaborate this specific date or if this date might possibly false or currently unconfirmable data. --[[User:Super Goku V|Super Goku V]] ([[User talk:Super Goku V|talk]]) 23:34, 4 February 2016 (EST)
| |
| :Considering that there has been no response and that the only evidence I can find is that it came out after August 1999, can the date be hidden until something can collaborate this date? --[[User:Super Goku V|Super Goku V]] ([[User talk:Super Goku V|talk]]) 22:28, 9 February 2016 (EST)
| |
| ::I think I was about to respond, but I don't have any sources that can neither confirm nor deny it. If there isn't a source, you have to stick {{tem|ref needed}} just to let readers know that the information is dubious. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 22:40, 9 February 2016 (EST)
| |
| :::Ah, thank you for responding. Based on what I can find, it definitely came out after August 4th of 1999, but dates after that get blurry quick. Currently, I would presume that the best way to confirm a date might be to find an Australian magazine that covered the game before it came out, but finding something that would help has not been going well. --[[User:Super Goku V|Super Goku V]] ([[User talk:Super Goku V|talk]]) 23:11, 10 February 2016 (EST)

| == Stage hazards ==
| |
| Regarding the stage hazards, which Pokemon were removed from in response to a [https://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/68#Remove_lists_of_Pok.C3.A9_Ball_and_stage-exclusive_Pok.C3.A9mon_on_Smash_Bros._game_pages_and_allow_each_Pok.C3.A9_Ball_Pok.C3.A9mon_only_one_representative_artwork.2Fscreenshot recently passed proposal], I notice only a few of the stage hazards are not intrinsically linked to the ''Super Mario'' franchise. This includes {{iw|smashwiki|Whispy Woods}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Arwing}}, and acid. How should we go about these? Should these be listed in their respective stage descriptions too? They are all in a stage representing a different series. I could argue similar for {{iw|smashwiki|Bumper}}s, but those appear in the ''Super Mario''-themed Peach's Castle stage. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 14:43, September 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :That inconsistency is part of why I so vehemently opposed the Pokemon proposal. There was nothing in that saying they should be removed, so they should stay - you can't add parts to a passed proposal post-facto. I'm gonna make my own proposal next week when the time is available, though. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:52, September 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| ::I'll aim to resolve the inconsistencies, then. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 15:08, September 17, 2024 (EDT)

| | |
| ==Remove the remaining non-''Super Mario'' "stage gimmicks and hazards"==
| |
| {{settled TPP}}
| |
| {{proposal outcome|failed|1-2-7|Remove nothing}}
| |
| Following the successful proposal of removing excessive Pokemon lists to relegate into the Poke Ball and Saffron City descriptions, this left behind an inconsistency of four non-''Super Mario'' stage hazards still being listed, as follows:
| |
| | |
| *Acid, in the Planet Zebes stage (''Metroid'')
| |
| *Arwing, in the Sector Z stage (''Star Fox'')
| |
| *Bumper, a ''Super Smash Bros.'' object, although in a ''Super Mario'' stage
| |
| *Whispy Woods, in the Dream Land stage (''Kirby'')
| |
| | |
| So wouldn't removing them be a straightforward reason? The four are no more intrinsically related to ''Super Mario'' than all the Pokemon that were removed. The only one I'd consider keeping is Bumper, but that's because it's in a ''Super Mario'' stage, Peach's Castle. For that reason, I'll make three options.
| |
| | |
| If this proposal passes, the mentions of acid, Arwing, and Whispy Woods '''will be integrated into the Planet Zebes, Sector Z, and Dream Land stage descriptions, respectively''', as well as Bumper into Peach's Castle description if the option to remove all four passes.

| ===Remove all===
| |
| #{{User|Camwoodstock}} Primary option. We figure if we are going to treat the Pokemon in Saffron City this way, we might as well apply it to similar hazards.
| |
| <s>#{{User|Super Mario RPG}} Secondary</s>
| |
| | |
| ===Remove all except Bumper===
| |
| #{{User|Camwoodstock}} Secondary option. The Bumper is still generic enough that we can see merit in giving it increased mention when combined with its presence in a Mario-themed stage.
| |
| #{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Per my reasoning for splitting [[Meta Crystal]] to its own article; the Bumper is implicitly connected to a ''Super Mario'' stage in the same way that Meta Crystal's background elements connect it to Metal Mario.
| |
| <s>#{{User|Super Mario RPG}} Per</s>
| |
| | |
| ===Remove nothing===
| |
| #{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - They can interact with ''Mario'' characters, so that argument is flawed (especially considering that, during your Pokemon proposal, your main argument was that the entire list was non-''Mario'', which obviously doesn't apply here. Also, [[Whispy Woods]] has crossed over with Mario otherwise. Also, there's the deliberately forcing me to wait yet another month to make [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick/Projects#Clarify coverage of the Super Smash Bros. series|the proposal]] I listed above your making these proposals not 20 minutes before you did, so obviously I was going to oppose from that bit of inconsideration. But enough on that; anyone who prefers the proposal I linked should probably oppose, if they so want, as that will allow it to be proposed quicker. And of course, anyone who thinks my idea is the wrong way to go and that this proposal is better, go ahead and support.
| |
| #{{User|Hewer}} The better way to resolve the inconsistencies caused by the Pokémon proposal is all at once in one big proposal like what Doc is planning. I'm tired of all these endless small, one-by-one Smash removal proposals. Also per Doc.
| |
| #{{User|OmegaRuby}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|SolemnStormcloud}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Axii}} I agree with this proposal, but I want Doc's proposal to pass.
| |
| #{{User|Tails777}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Shoey}} Booooo small proposal. Yay Big Proposal.

| | |
| ===Comments===
| |
| {{@|Doc von Schmeltwick}} Yes, they can interact, that's true. But the point I'm making is "why remove the Pokemon but not these?" They are non-''Super Mario'' subjects that are interactable to ''Super Mario'' fighters no more than other representatives, and on equal level as the Pokemon removed.
| |
| | |
| Also, yes, Whispy Woods did, true, but its appearance in ''Super Mario'' publication has no instrinsical or inherent connection to its appearance in ''Super Smash Bros.'' One could make the case that the 151 Pokemon were in ''Mario Artist'' as designs, so they technically "crossed over" as well. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 15:23, September 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :Considering you know I still plan on revisiting that subject, calling precedence isn't going to work. Especially since I warned of this very eventuality in said proposal and you didn't care then. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 15:25, September 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| ::As for the Pokemon list, yes, I did make that argument. But this is not about this: this is about a gaping inconsistency that this proposal aims to resolve. It's not saying "remove all non-''Super Mario'' stages, items" -- this is about resolving an '''inconsistency with the article''' in that only Pokemon gimmicks and hazards were removed but not other non-''Super Mario'' content, which makes no sense. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 15:28, September 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :::I mean I mentioned in that proposal that it would leave random things like Bronto Burts, Arwings, and Gray Fox at a higher priority than the Pokemon with the same basic roles, which is just silly, and you didn't seem to have a problem with it then because those lists still had "some" Mario content - you were just too focused on removing the Pokemon to apparently register how that would look. (Also, considering this affects the same list and it was explicitly stated the proposal wouldn't remove anything else, this might be in violation of the same rule that keeps me from making mine... though of course, it might be perfectly fine. Depends on how the rules are interpreted.) [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 15:38, September 17, 2024 (EDT)

| As a refresher to anyone interested, my planned alternative proposal is to '''give pages only to ''Super Mario'' elements, whilst covering everything else on the pages for the individual ''Super Smash Bros.'' games; unless otherwise stated, they will instead link to other wikis, be if the base series' wiki or SmashWiki'''. For instance, Link will remain an internal link (no pun intended) because he's crossed over otherwise, Ganondorf will link to Zeldawiki because he hasn't. Link's moves (originating from the ''Legend of Zelda'' series) will link to Zeldawiki, while Ganondorf's moves (original moves due to being based on Captain Falcon's moves) will link to Smashwiki. And as for miscellaneous details<br>
| |
| #Merge the "enemies" pages to their respective game - they're already structured like any other game's enemy tables anyway.
| |
| #Merge the "Subspace Army" and "Subspace Stages" lists to each other to recreate a watered-down version of the Subspace Emissary page (to split from the Brawl page due to length and being exclusive to that campaign); it would also include a table for characters describing their role in said campaign, as well as objects/items found exclusively in it (Trophy Stands, the funny boxes, the metallic barrel cannons, etc) - once again, all except ''Mario''-derived things will link elsewhere (mostly to Smashwiki in this case).
| |
| #Section each game akin to how I had the SSB64 page as of [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Smash_Bros.&oldid=4340069 this] edit, ''including'' sections for Pokemon, Assist Trophies, Bosses, etc., and links to other wikis for subjects that we don't need pages on. Other sections can be added as needed.
| |
| #Leave the lists for fighters, stages, and (series-wide) bosses alone (for now at least), as they make more sense to have a series-wide representation on here (similar to the fighters) in some capacity than the items or enemies. Also, you never know when one of them is going to cross over otherwise, like Villager, Isabelle, and Inkling suddenly joining ''Mario Kart'', so it's good to keep that around in case a split is deemed necessary from something like that happening down the line.
| |
| #Have image galleries cover ''everything'' that can reasonably be included in an image gallery for the game, regardless of origin. This includes artwork, sprites, models, screenshots, etc, for any subject - yes, including Pokemon, so that will undo [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/68#Remove lists of Poké Ball and stage-exclusive Pokémon on ''Smash Bros.'' game pages and allow each Poké Ball Pokémon only one representative artwork/screenshot|that one proposal from a month ago]]. Just like on the game pages, the labels will link to other sites as needed.
| |
| #Leave Stickers and Spirits alone, their pages are too large to merge and are fine as they are for the reasons that opposition to deleting them historically has brought up.
| |
| #Include the "minigame" stages (Break the Targets, Board the Platforms, Race to the Finish, Snag Trophies, Home Run Contest, Trophy Tussle, the Melee Adventure Mode stages) in the "list of stages debuting in [game]" articles. For ones like Targets, it would just explain how it worked and then have a gallery for the different layouts rather than describing each in detail. Said minigame pages should be merged to a section in the SSB series article covering the series' minigames. The Subspace Emissary stages will get a section with a {{tem|main}} to the stage section of the Subspace Emissary article (detailed in an above point).
| |
| #Keep trophy, assist trophy, and challenge pages covering only ''Mario'' things, leave the remainder in the game gallery (fun fact: Smashwiki does not have game galleries, nor does their community want them; we can base what we ''could'' do on if other wikis do something, but not base what we ''cannot'' do from those - nothing forbids coverage from that).<br>

| ==Remove non-''Super Mario'' "stage cameos"==
| |
| {{settled TPP}}
| |
| {{proposal outcome|failed|2-8|Remove nothing}}
| |
| Accompanying the above proposal is a proposal to remove a few "stage cameos" not linked to the ''Super Mario'' franchise. So if this proposal passes, '''{{iw|smashwiki|Bronto Burt}}, {{iw|smashwiki|King Dedede}}, {{iw|smashwiki|Ridley}}, and space junk will be removed from the stage cameos section''', which will then cover ''Super Mario'' cameos only. They all appear in the background and have no meaningful connection to ''Super Mario'' franchise. If Pokemon, which can actually interact with ''Super Mario'' characters (although no differently than fighters representing other series) are no longer listed as the outcome of a proposal, it definitely wouldn't make sense to list stage cameos of characters/species from non-''Super Mario'' series and games.

| ===Support===
| |
| #{{User|Camwoodstock}} Per proposal, and our general vibe of "we should probably cut down on excess Smash content in a world with Smash Wiki in it".
| |
| #{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Per proposal.
| |
| <s>#{{User|Super Mario RPG}} Per.</s>
| |
| | |
| ===Oppose===
| |
| #{{user|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - No reason to cut out game sprites. Per before. (Especially since most of the things listed would ''later'' become interactable in later ''Smash'' games, sometimes as fighters... and the previous note that during your Pokemon proposal, your main argument was that the entire list was non-''Mario'', which obviously doesn't apply here.) Also, there's the deliberately forcing me to wait yet another month to make [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick/Projects#Clarify coverage of the Super Smash Bros. series|the proposal]] I listed above your making these proposals not 20 minutes before you did, so obviously I was going to oppose from that bit of inconsideration.

| |
| #{{User|Hewer}} Same oppose reason as the above proposal.
| |
| #{{User|OmegaRuby}} Per Doc. I feel like it's better to see his proposal come to fruition to cover all of these mini-issues at once and wrap a little bow around the wiki's ''Smash'' coverage.
| |
| #{{User|Killer Moth}} Per Doc.

| {{@|Doc von Schmeltwick}} Again, this isn't a proposal about a clean sweep of all non-''Super Mario'' content: just the stage cameos. The reason I thought to create this proposal is because stage cameos are one step below stage gimmicks, so from removing the gimmicks, it would be odd if the cameos were kept.
