Talk:Copy Ability/Super Smash Bros.

Pointing to SmashWiki

In reference to [1]: I didn't see any harm in pointing to move pages on the moves in Smash Bros. Made more sense to me, since it's Smash Bros.-related and not home-franchise. Tacopill (talk) 15:39, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

I'm the one that made that edit. Check my talk page discussion with Fubaka as to why the page links to those outside pages and such. If you don't want to read it I'll basically summarize it here: yes it is Smash Bros related, but the Smash Bros article on the moves and such only gives a small amount of information whereas the page about it from the outside link gives more info about it, and because this site, like many other Wikis, is meant to be encyclopedic, the more information we have on the subject the better, and since the outside links give more information they are more preferable to use on this, if that makes any sense. I also see that you went through and changed all the links to SmashWiki links when most of them linked to other Wikis within this Wikis network (NIWA), all those Wikis more or less link to each other in pages and stuff like this, as it's more a friendly sharing of information among allied sites, if that makes any sense.

Forgot to do it in my initial post, I'm tagging Tacopill here just so that they know to come look here and don't accidentally skip by it not knowing there is a reply here or whatever, since that has happened to me on other Wikis. Lordofninjas1 (talk) 21:13, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Yea, I posted the above in response to what you said, and then gave it 24 hours for you to respond to.

I also noted that you said you chatted with the admins and mods, but outside of your own talk page, I didn't find much evidence of it, so it gave me the impression that only one was chatted with. I also asked on Discord, and no one seemed to know what I was talking about.

My edit wasn't meant to be disrespectful, and sorry if it came off that way. Mine are subject to getting edited by anyone else in the wiki, just as everyone else's is.

So, rather than continue an edit war or pull an card on you, I'll offer a compromise: two columns, one to a wiki that describes the source of the move, one to Smash Wiki for move-related info.

What do you say? Tacopill (talk) 17:14, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

not meaning to be rude when I say this, but why do you separate each point in your post like that? I thought it would be easier to just put it all in paragraph format. I wasn't aware that a time limit was put on your initial post. I apologize if I said or did something that gave you the impression that I thought you were being disrespectful, that wasn't my intent, I knew you weren't trying to be disrespectful. I am aware that your posts are subject to edit just as everyone else's. I'm not sure what you mean by "continue" an edit war, you edited it, I reversed it, you reversed my reverse, and it was left at that, had an edit war been occurring I would have continued to reverse your edits and so on, but I didn't, unless my account was somehow hacked and I wasn't aware of it and the hacker continued an edit war with you. I personally wouldn't mind having a section for links to both, but I'm curious as to what the admins and mods and other editors of the page would prefer, because I have a feeling it may become too "crowded" of a page, for lack of a better term, as well as maybe somewhat redundant if we were to add another section just for that, and I know Wikipedia and Wikis in general tend not to like that sort of thing. so I wouldn't mind going ahead with your compromise, but I can't speak for the others or if they have another sort of compromise for it or something. Pinkyoshifan,Owencrazyboy17, and YoshiFlutterJump do any of you have anything to add to this? Lordofninjas1 (talk) 22:05, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
